Response Structure

(dict) --

Success.
- AdDecisionServerUrl (string) --
  
  The URL for the ad decision server (ADS). This includes the specification of static parameters and placeholders for dynamic parameters. AWS Elemental MediaTailor substitutes player-specific and session-specific parameters as needed when calling the ADS. Alternately, for testing, you can provide a static VAST URL. The maximum length is 25,000 characters.
- CdnConfiguration (dict) --
  
  The configuration for using a content delivery network (CDN), like Amazon CloudFront, for content and ad segment management.
  - AdSegmentUrlPrefix (string) --
    
    A non-default content delivery network (CDN) to serve ad segments. By default, AWS Elemental MediaTailor uses Amazon CloudFront with default cache settings as its CDN for ad segments. To set up an alternate CDN, create a rule in your CDN for the following origin: ads.mediatailor.<region>.amazonaws.com. Then specify the rule's name in this AdSegmentUrlPrefix. When AWS Elemental MediaTailor serves a manifest, it reports your CDN as the source for ad segments.
  - ContentSegmentUrlPrefix (string) --
    
    A content delivery network (CDN) to cache content segments, so that content requests don’t always have to go to the origin server. First, create a rule in your CDN for the content segment origin server. Then specify the rule's name in this ContentSegmentUrlPrefix. When AWS Elemental MediaTailor serves a manifest, it reports your CDN as the source for content segments.
- DashConfiguration (dict) --
  
  The configuration for DASH content.
  - ManifestEndpointPrefix (string) --
    
    The URL generated by MediaTailor to initiate a playback session. The session uses server-side reporting. This setting is ignored in PUT operations.
  - MpdLocation (string) --
    
    The setting that controls whether MediaTailor includes the Location tag in DASH manifests. MediaTailor populates the Location tag with the URL for manifest update requests, to be used by players that don't support sticky redirects. Disable this if you have CDN routing rules set up for accessing MediaTailor manifests, and you are either using client-side reporting or your players support sticky HTTP redirects. Valid values are DISABLED and EMT_DEFAULT. The EMT_DEFAULT setting enables the inclusion of the tag and is the default value.
  - OriginManifestType (string) --
    
    The setting that controls whether MediaTailor handles manifests from the origin server as multi-period manifests or single-period manifests. If your origin server produces single-period manifests, set this to SINGLE_PERIOD. The default setting is MULTI_PERIOD. For multi-period manifests, omit this setting or set it to MULTI_PERIOD.
- HlsConfiguration (dict) --
  
  The configuration for HLS content.
  - ManifestEndpointPrefix (string) --
    
    The URL that is used to initiate a playback session for devices that support Apple HLS. The session uses server-side reporting.
- LivePreRollConfiguration (dict) --
  
  The configuration for pre-roll ad insertion.
  - AdDecisionServerUrl (string) --
    
    The URL for the ad decision server (ADS) for pre-roll ads. This includes the specification of static parameters and placeholders for dynamic parameters. AWS Elemental MediaTailor substitutes player-specific and session-specific parameters as needed when calling the ADS. Alternately, for testing, you can provide a static VAST URL. The maximum length is 25,000 characters.
  - MaxDurationSeconds (integer) -- The maximum allowed duration for the pre-roll ad avail. AWS Elemental MediaTailor won't play pre-roll ads to exceed this duration, regardless of the total duration of ads that the ADS returns.
- Name (string) --
  
  The identifier for the playback configuration.
- PlaybackConfigurationArn (string) --
  
  The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the playback configuration.
- PlaybackEndpointPrefix (string) --
  
  The URL that the player accesses to get a manifest from AWS Elemental MediaTailor. This session will use server-side reporting.
- SessionInitializationEndpointPrefix (string) --
  
  The URL that the player uses to initialize a session that uses client-side reporting.
- SlateAdUrl (string) --
  
  The URL for a high-quality video asset to transcode and use to fill in time that's not used by ads. AWS Elemental MediaTailor shows the slate to fill in gaps in media content. Configuring the slate is optional for non-VPAID playback configurations. For VPAID, the slate is required because MediaTailor provides it in the slots designated for dynamic ad content. The slate must be a high-quality asset that contains both audio and video.
- Tags (dict) --
  
  The tags assigned to the playback configuration.
  - (string) --
    - (string) --
- TranscodeProfileName (string) --
  
  The name that is used to associate this playback configuration with a custom transcode profile. This overrides the dynamic transcoding defaults of MediaTailor. Use this only if you have already set up custom profiles with the help of AWS Support.
- VideoContentSourceUrl (string) --
  
  The URL prefix for the master playlist for the stream, minus the asset ID. The maximum length is 512 characters.
