Get event

Focus mode

Get event - AWS Elemental Live

Get a list of the inputs in the specified event.

There is no explicit command to get the dynamic playlist. But you can get the event in order to get information about the dynamic playlist.

Get Event is useful for obtaining the IDs of the inputs in the dynamic playlist and for parsing for the order in which they are listed in the XML.

Get Event includes the status of each input in these tags:

active tag. Possible values are true and false.
status tag. Possible values are preprocessing, pending, running, postprocessing, complete.
active_input_id tag. Only the currently active input has this tag. For that input, the active tag and the input_ID specify the same value.

Get Event does not provide information about the prepare time or activate time on inputs on which you explicitly called Prepare with Specified Time or Activate with Specified Time. That information cannot be retrieved from Elemental Live; you must maintain the schedule outside of Elemental Live.
