Coordinate with the MediaPackage operator

Focus mode
Coordinate with the MediaPackage operator - MediaLive

You and the operator of the AWS Elemental MediaPackage service must agree about the destination for the output of your MediaPackage output group.

Note that you can send to AWS Elemental MediaPackage by creating a MediaPackage output group, or by creating an HLS output group. See Choosing between the HLS output group and MediaPackage output group for a description of the differences. This section describes the first option.

To arrange setup of the destination
  1. Ask the MediaPackage user to create one channel. Even if the MediaLive channel is a standard channel (with two pipelines), you need only one MediaPackage channel.

  2. Obtain the ID of the MediaPackage channel. For example, curlinglive. The channel ID is case sensitive.

Note that you don't need user credentials to send a MediaPackage output to MediaPackage. MediaLive has permission to write to MediaPackage via the trusted entity. Someone in your organization should have already set up these permissions. For more information, see Access requirements for the trusted entity.
