# Autolive: AWS medialive automation

The core idea of this proyect is to offload video transcoding from an NGNIX-RTMP server to AWS Medialive, replacing FFMPEG for transcoding and reducing server load from NGINX server.

NGINX RTMP: https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module

## How to make it work:

1. Install Nginx with rtmp module.

2. Git clone Autolive into preferred dir.

3. Set AWS details in conf.py.

4. Simlink autolive to /usr/local/bin/autolive.

5. Change nginx.conf to trigger autolive. (using nginx-rtmp exec options)

## AWS resources needed:

• DynamoDB table that defines channel details. (schema comming soon)

• s3 bucket for AWS medalive outputs.

• CDN distribution. (optional)

## CLI options:

• ‘-s’, ‘–streamkey’ –> (string) | Define streamkey. Streamkey should reference dynamodb table.

• ‘-a’, ‘–action’ –> (string) | Define what action to perform: ‘create’, ‘delete’.

• ‘-A’, ‘–application’ –> (string) | manually define Nginx rtmp application, default ‘live’.

## Notes:

ATM only pull channels are supported. Lots of improvment needed but core functionality is working.
