Creating media live connector pipelines for Amazon Chime SDK meetings
The following sections list and describe the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), audio, and video settings for a media live connector pipeline.
RTMP settings
Media live connector pipelines support RTMP over a TLS/SSL connection. The sink URL consists of the stream URL and stream key. The URLs follow this format:
rtmp(s)://stream-server/stream-key
The following examples show how to connect to common streaming platforms.
-
Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) – rtmps://a1b2c3d4e5f6.global-contribute.live-video.net:443/app/
IVS-stream-key -
YouTube – rtmps://a.youtube.com/live2/
stream-key -
Twitch – rtmps://live.twitch.tv/app/
primary-stream-key
Important
RTMPS uses encryption to help ensure that a stream is not intercepted by an unauthorized entity. As a best practice, use RTMPS when you need additional data security.
Audio settings
Media live connector pipelines support the following audio settings:
-
Codec – AAC
-
Sample rate – 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz. The default is 44100Hz.
-
Channels – Mono or stereo. The default is mono.
Video settings
Media live connector pipelines use the H264 encoder. You can use HD at 1280x720 or FHD at 1920x1080. Both resolutions use 30 frames per second, with a keyframe every two seconds.
Stopping media live connector pipelines
As a best practice for stopping media live connector pipelines, call the DeleteMediaPipeline API. Ending a stream on a streaming platform such as IVS does not stop a media live connector pipeline.
