Parameters:

ChannelName (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the channel.
FillerSlate (dict) –

- SourceLocationName (string) –
  
  The name of the source location where the slate VOD source is stored.
- VodSourceName (string) –
  
  The slate VOD source name. The VOD source must already exist in a source location before it can be used for slate.

[REQUIRED]

The channel’s output properties.
- (dict) –
  
  The output configuration for this channel.
  - DashPlaylistSettings (dict) –
    
    DASH manifest configuration parameters.
    - ManifestWindowSeconds (integer) –
      
      The total duration (in seconds) of each manifest. Minimum value: 30 seconds. Maximum value: 3600 seconds.
    - MinBufferTimeSeconds (integer) –
      
      Minimum amount of content (measured in seconds) that a player must keep available in the buffer. Minimum value: 2 seconds. Maximum value: 60 seconds.
    - MinUpdatePeriodSeconds (integer) –
      
      Minimum amount of time (in seconds) that the player should wait before requesting updates to the manifest. Minimum value: 2 seconds. Maximum value: 60 seconds.
    - SuggestedPresentationDelaySeconds (integer) –
      
      Amount of time (in seconds) that the player should be from the live point at the end of the manifest. Minimum value: 2 seconds. Maximum value: 60 seconds.
  - HlsPlaylistSettings (dict) –
    
    HLS playlist configuration parameters.
    - ManifestWindowSeconds (integer) –
      
      The total duration (in seconds) of each manifest. Minimum value: 30 seconds. Maximum value: 3600 seconds.
  - ManifestName (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The name of the manifest for the channel. The name appears in the PlaybackUrl.
  - SourceGroup (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    A string used to match which HttpPackageConfiguration is used for each VodSource.
PlaybackMode (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The type of playback mode to use for this channel.

LINEAR - The programs in the schedule play once back-to-back in the schedule.

LOOP - The programs in the schedule play back-to-back in an endless loop. When the last program in the schedule stops playing, playback loops back to the first program in the schedule.
Tags (dict) –
The tags to assign to the channel. Tags are key-value pairs that you can associate with Amazon resources to help with organization, access control, and cost tracking. For more information, see Tagging AWS Elemental MediaTailor Resources.
