Eyevinn Go Live

The @eyevinn/go-live NPM library provides the functionality to build an API layer on top of AWS Media Services to automate and simplify setting up a media pipeline for live using RTMP as the video signal contribution protocol.

RTMP -> MediaLive -> MediaPackage -> HLS

When creating a channel an AWS MediaLive channel is created with one RTMP input, one MediaPackage output group and an AWS MediaPackage channel with an HLS origin endpoint. The API returns the RTMP urls to stream to and the HLS origin endpoint to playback from (or have a CDN read from).

Example on how to use it

Install dependency

npm install --save @eyevinn/go-live

Example implementation

/**
 * Reference implementation of @eyevinn/go-live API
 */

const { GoLiveApiServer } = require("@eyevinn/go-live");

const server = new GoLiveApiServer({
  aws_access_key_id: <AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>,
  aws_secret_access_key: <AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>,
  role_arn:  "arn:aws:iam::590877988961:role/AllowMediaLiveAccessRole"
});

try {
  server.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
  process.exit(1);
}

Run it

node server.js
