Viewing thumbnails on the console
When thumbnails is enabled, MediaLive generates thumbnails for the currently active input in a channel that is running. For a standard channel, MediaLive generates two thumbnails. For a single-pipeline channel, MediaLive generates one thumbnail.
Open the MediaLive console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/
. -
Choose Channels from the navigation bar. On the list of channels, select the channel by its name. The Details page appears.
The Status section includes a thumbnail frame. If the channel has two inputs, the screen includes a tab for each input.
When the channel is running and the Details page is displayed, the thumbnail automatically updates every 2 seconds, for the pipeline in the active tab. MediaLive doesn't generate any thumbnails if this page isn't displayed.
If the channel isn't running, the frame is black.
If the channel stops running, the thumbnail preview stops updating. After a few seconds, the current thumbnail is replaced by a message.
