Integrating an HLS source

Integrating an HLS source - AWS Elemental MediaTailor

AWS Elemental MediaTailor supports .m3u8 HLS manifests with an EXT-X-VERSION of 3 or higher for live streaming and video on demand (VOD). When MediaTailor encounters an ad break, it attempts ad insertion or replacement, based on the type of content. If there aren't enough ads to fill the duration, for the remainder of the ad break, MediaTailor displays the underlying content stream or the configured slate. For more information about HLS ad behavior based on content type, see Understanding AWS Elemental MediaTailor ad insertion behavior.

The following sections provide more information about how MediaTailor handles HLS manifests.
