(dict) --
channels (list) --
(dict) --
Object specifying a channel.
arn (string) --
Channel ARN.
authorized (boolean) --
Whether the channel is private (enabled for playback authorization). Default: false .
ingestEndpoint (string) --
Channel ingest endpoint, part of the definition of an ingest server, used when you set up streaming software.
insecureIngest (boolean) --
Whether the channel allows insecure RTMP ingest. Default: false .
latencyMode (string) --
Channel latency mode. Use NORMAL to broadcast and deliver live video up to Full HD. Use LOW for near-real-time interaction with viewers. Default: LOW . (Note: In the Amazon IVS console, LOW and NORMAL correspond to Ultra-low and Standard, respectively.)
name (string) --
Channel name.
playbackUrl (string) --
Channel playback URL.
recordingConfigurationArn (string) --
Recording-configuration ARN. A value other than an empty string indicates that recording is enabled. Default: "" (empty string, recording is disabled).
tags (dict) --
Tags attached to the resource. Array of 1-50 maps, each of the form string:string (key:value) . See Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources for more information, including restrictions that apply to tags and "Tag naming limits and requirements"; Amazon IVS has no service-specific constraints beyond what is documented there.
(string) --
(string) --
type (string) --
Channel type, which determines the allowable resolution and bitrate. If you exceed the allowable resolution or bitrate, the stream probably will disconnect immediately. Default: STANDARD . Valid values:
STANDARD : Video is transcoded: multiple qualities are generated from the original input, to automatically give viewers the best experience for their devices and network conditions. Transcoding allows higher playback quality across a range of download speeds. Resolution can be up to 1080p and bitrate can be up to 8.5 Mbps. Audio is transcoded only for renditions 360p and below; above that, audio is passed through. This is the default.
BASIC : Video is transmuxed: Amazon IVS delivers the original input to viewers. The viewer’s video-quality choice is limited to the original input. Resolution can be up to 1080p and bitrate can be up to 1.5 Mbps for 480p and up to 3.5 Mbps for resolutions between 480p and 1080p.
errors (list) --
Each error object is related to a specific ARN in the request.
(dict) --
Error related to a specific channel, specified by its ARN.
arn (string) --
Channel ARN.
code (string) --
Error code.
message (string) --
Error message, determined by the application.
{'insecureIngest': 'boolean'}
Response {'channel': {'insecureIngest': 'boolean'}}

Thumbnail recording mode. Default: INTERVAL .
targetIntervalSeconds (integer) --
The targeted thumbnail-generation interval in seconds. This is configurable (and required) only if recordingMode is INTERVAL . Default: 60.
Important: Setting a value for targetIntervalSeconds does not guarantee that thumbnails are generated at the specified interval. For thumbnails to be generated at the targetIntervalSeconds interval, the IDR/Keyframe value for the input video must be less than the targetIntervalSeconds value. See Amazon IVS Streaming Configuration for information on setting IDR/Keyframe to the recommended value in video-encoder settings.

Gets summary information about all channels in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed. This list can be filtered to match a specified name or recording-configuration ARN. Filters are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together. If you try to use both filters, you will get an error (409 ConflictException).
