Sample manifest - MediaLive

This section provides an example of the audio portion of the manifest that MediaLive produces when you set up an audio-only output. This sample manifest contains the following elements:

  • Two video outputs, as indicated by the presence of two EXT-STREAM-INF lines (the last two lines in the example).

    • The first video output has a low bandwidth. As indicated by the AUDIO parameter, it is associated with audio1.

    • The second video output has a higher bandwidth. As indicated by the AUDIO parameter, it is associated with audio2.

  • Four audio outputs, as indicated by the presence of four EXT-X-MEDIA lines with TYPE=AUDIO. In each audio output, the values for the parameters come from the following fields in each audio output in the channel:

    • Type is always Audio.

    • GROUP-ID is from the Audio Group ID field in the Output settings section.

    • LANGUAGE is from the Language Code field in the Stream settings section.

    • NAME is from the Stream Name field in the Stream settings section.

    • AUTOSELECT and DEFAULT are from the Alternate Audio Track Type field in the Output settings section.

    • URI is from the Destination field in the output group.

    For information on all these fields, see Create the audio outputs.

  • Two audio rendition groups. The audio renditions groups don't have their own lines in the manifest. Their existence is implied by the presence of GROUP-ID parameters in the audio lines.

  • Two captions streams, as indicated by the presence of two EXT-X-MEDIA lines with TYPE=SUBTITLES.
