Amazon Interactive Video Service

2021/04/07 - Amazon Interactive Video Service - 4 new 5 updated api methods

Changes  This release adds support for the Auto-Record to S3 feature. Amazon IVS now enables you to save your live video to Amazon S3.

DeleteRecordingConfiguration (new) Link ¶

Deletes the recording configuration for the specified ARN.

If you try to delete a recording configuration that is associated with a channel, you will get an error (409 ConflictException). To avoid this, for all channels that reference the recording configuration, first use UpdateChannel to set the recordingConfigurationArn field to an empty string, then use DeleteRecordingConfiguration.

CreateRecordingConfiguration (new) Link ¶

Creates a new recording configuration, used to enable recording to Amazon S3.

Known issue: In the us-east-1 region, if you use the AWS CLI to create a recording configuration, it returns success even if the S3 bucket is in a different region. In this case, the state of the recording configuration is CREATE_FAILED (instead of ACTIVE ). (In other regions, the CLI correctly returns failure if the bucket is in a different region.)

Workaround: Ensure that your S3 bucket is in the same region as the recording configuration. If you create a recording configuration in a different region as your S3 bucket, delete that recording configuration and create a new one with an S3 bucket from the correct region.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • channel (dict) --

      Object specifying a channel.

      • arn (string) --

        Channel ARN.

      • name (string) --

        Channel name.

      • latencyMode (string) --

        Channel latency mode. Use NORMAL to broadcast and deliver live video up to Full HD. Use LOW for near-real-time interaction with viewers. Default: LOW . (Note: In the Amazon IVS console, LOW and NORMAL correspond to Ultra-low and Standard, respectively.)

      • type (string) --

        Channel type, which determines the allowable resolution and bitrate. If you exceed the allowable resolution or bitrate, the stream probably will disconnect immediately. Default: STANDARD . Valid values:

        • STANDARD : Multiple qualities are generated from the original input, to automatically give viewers the best experience for their devices and network conditions. Vertical resolution can be up to 1080 and bitrate can be up to 8.5 Mbps.

        • BASIC : Amazon IVS delivers the original input to viewers. The viewer’s video-quality choice is limited to the original input. Vertical resolution can be up to 480 and bitrate can be up to 1.5 Mbps.

      • recordingConfigurationArn (string) --

        Recording-configuration ARN. A value other than an empty string indicates that recording is enabled. Default: "" (empty string, recording is disabled).

      • ingestEndpoint (string) --

        Channel ingest endpoint, part of the definition of an ingest server, used when you set up streaming software.

      • playbackUrl (string) --

        Channel playback URL.

      • authorized (boolean) --

        Whether the channel is private (enabled for playback authorization). Default: false .

      • tags (dict) --

        Array of 1-50 maps, each of the form string:string (key:value) .

        • (string) --

          • (string) --
