IVS / Client / update_channel

update_channel#

IVS.Client.update_channel(**kwargs)#

Updates a channel’s configuration. This does not affect an ongoing stream of this channel. You must stop and restart the stream for the changes to take effect.

Request Syntax

response = client.update_channel(
    arn='string',
    authorized=True|False,
    latencyMode='NORMAL'|'LOW',
    name='string',
    recordingConfigurationArn='string',
    type='BASIC'|'STANDARD'
)
Parameters:

  • arn (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    ARN of the channel to be updated.

  • authorized (boolean) – Whether the channel is private (enabled for playback authorization).

  • 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. (Note: In the Amazon IVS console, LOW and NORMAL correspond to Ultra-low and Standard, respectively.)

  • name (string) – Channel name.

  • recordingConfigurationArn (string) – Recording-configuration ARN. If this is set to an empty string, recording is disabled. A value other than an empty string indicates that recording is enabled

  • 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. 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.

Return type:

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • channel (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.

      • 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.
