Editing multiplexes, programs, and channels
In MediaLive, you can edit a multiplex, the programs in a multiplex, and the channels in a multiplex. There are specific rules that are based on the state (running or idle) of the item that you want to work with, as described in this section.
Editing a multiplex
In MediaLive, there are very few restrictions on your ability to edit a multiplex. You can edit a multiplex when these situations apply:
-
While the multiplex is idle or running, unless you want to change the Maximum Video Buffer Delay field. To change that field, the multiplex must be idle.
-
While the channels in the multiplex programs are idle or running.
-
While MediaLive is in the process of adding programs that you just created.
