type ChannelName

string

param ChannelName

[REQUIRED]

The identifier for the channel you are working on.

string

param LiveSourceName

The name of the LiveSource for this Program.

type ProgramName

string

param ProgramName

[REQUIRED]

The identifier for the program you are working on.

type ScheduleConfiguration

dict

param ScheduleConfiguration

[REQUIRED]

The schedule configuration settings.

  • Transition (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

    Program transition configurations.

    • DurationMillis (integer) --

      The duration of the live program in seconds.

    • RelativePosition (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The position where this program will be inserted relative to the RelativePosition.

    • RelativeProgram (string) --

      The name of the program that this program will be inserted next to, as defined by RelativePosition.

    • ScheduledStartTimeMillis (integer) --

      The date and time that the program is scheduled to start, in epoch milliseconds.

    • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Defines when the program plays in the schedule. You can set the value to ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE.

      ABSOLUTE - The program plays at a specific wall clock time. This setting can only be used for channels using the LINEAR PlaybackMode.

      Note the following considerations when using ABSOLUTE transitions:

      If the preceding program in the schedule has a duration that extends past the wall clock time, MediaTailor truncates the preceding program on a common segment boundary.

      If there are gaps in playback, MediaTailor plays the FillerSlate you configured for your linear channel.

      RELATIVE - The program is inserted into the schedule either before or after a program that you specify via RelativePosition.

type SourceLocationName

string

param SourceLocationName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the source location.
