ApsaraVideo Live:Configure stream pulling

Limits

• Regular stream pulling

  • Third-party source URLs in the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), Flash Video (FLV), HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), and Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) formats are supported. You can add up to four URLs.

  • You can configure up to 300 templates for regular stream pulling. If you want to increase the maximum allowed number of the templates, increase the number of source streams. For more information, see Quota management. After the adjustment, the maximum allowed number of templates for regular stream pulling is the same as the number of source streams.

  • The duration from the time when stream pulling starts to the time when stream pulling ends cannot exceed seven days.

  • No switch is provided for regular stream pulling over SRT. You only need to ensure that the stream provided by the origin is in the SRT format.

• Triggered stream pulling

  • The RTMP, FLV, and HLS protocols are supported.

  • You can configure up to 200 templates for triggered stream pulling.

• For stream pulling over SRT, only regular stream pulling is supported.

• You cannot pull streams from IPv6 addresses.

   The following table describes the parameters for triggered stream pulling.

   Parameter	Description
   AppName in Streaming URL	The name of the application to which the live stream belongs. This parameter is used to generate a streaming URL. The value of this parameter does not need to be the same as the application name that is specified in the ingest URL. However, if you do not set the AppName in Source URL parameter, the value of this parameter must be the same as the application name that is specified in the ingest URL. If you want to configure stream pulling for all applications in your domain name, set this parameter to ali_all_app.
   AppName in Source URL	The name of the application for back-to-origin stream pulling. The value of this parameter must be the same as the application name that is specified in the ingest URL. If you do not set this parameter, the value of the AppName in Streaming URL parameter is used. In this case, the value of the AppName in Streaming URL parameter must be the same as the application name that is specified in the ingest URL.
   Source URL	The URL of the third-party live stream. You can add up to four URLs.
   Protocol for Back-to-origin Stream Pulling	The RTMP, FLV, and HLS formats are supported.
   Triggered for Transcoding	If you enable this feature, stream pulling from the origin is automatically triggered when you play source streams or transcoded streams. If you disable this feature, stream pulling from the origin is automatically triggered only when you play source streams.
