Create and manage channels

This page shows you how to create and manage Live Stream API channels. A channel resource represents the processor that does a user-defined "streaming" operation. The streaming operation includes getting an input stream through an input endpoint, transcoding the input stream into multiple renditions, and publishing output live streams in certain formats in the specified location.

Set up your Google Cloud project and authentication

If you have not created a Google Cloud project and credentials, see Before you begin.

Prerequisites

• Create an input endpoint.

Create a channel

To create a channel, use the projects.locations.channels.create method. The following samples create a channel that generates an HLS live stream. The live stream consists of a single, high-definition (1280x720) rendition.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location in which to create the channel; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1
  • southamerica-east1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-east2
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: a user-defined identifier for the channel to create; this value must be 1-63 characters, begin and end with [a-z0-9], and can contain dashes (-) between characters
• INPUT_ID: the user-defined identifier for the input endpoint
• BUCKET_NAME: the name of the Cloud Storage bucket you created to hold the live stream manifest and segment files

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "inputAttachments": [
    {
      "key": "my-input",
      "input": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/inputs/INPUT_ID"
    }
  ],
  "output": {
    "uri": "gs://BUCKET_NAME"
  },
  "elementaryStreams": [
    {
      "key": "es_video",
      "videoStream": {
        "h264": {
          "profile": "high",
          "widthPixels": 1280,
          "heightPixels": 720,
          "bitrateBps": 3000000,
          "frameRate": 30
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "key": "es_audio",
      "audioStream": {
        "codec": "aac",
        "channelCount": 2,
        "bitrateBps": 160000
      }
    }
  ],
  "muxStreams": [
    {
      "key": "mux_video_ts",
      "container": "ts",
      "elementaryStreams": ["es_video", "es_audio"],
      "segmentSettings": { "segmentDuration": "2s" }
    }
  ],
  "manifests": [
    {
      "fileName": "main.m3u8",
      "type": "HLS",
      "muxStreams": [
        "mux_video_ts"
      ],
      "maxSegmentCount": 5
    }
  ]
}
EOF

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels?channelId=CHANNEL_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

Get channel details

To get the details of the channel, use the projects.locations.channels.get method.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location where your channel is located; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1
  • southamerica-east1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-east2
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: a user-defined identifier for the channel

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method GET `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

Update a channel

To update a channel, use the projects.locations.channels.patch method.

The following example updates the input endpoint used by the channel. Not all fields can be updated; see the list of supported fields.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location of the channel; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1
  • southamerica-east1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-east2
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: the user-defined identifier for the channel to update
• INPUT_ID: the user-defined identifier for the new input endpoint to use

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

cat > request.json << 'EOF'
{
  "inputAttachments": [
    {
      "key": "input-primary",
      "input": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/inputs/INPUT_ID"
    }
  ]
}
EOF

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

curl -X PATCH \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
     "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID?updateMask=input_attachments"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json. Run the following command in the terminal to create or overwrite this file in the current directory:

@'
{
  "inputAttachments": [
    {
      "key": "input-primary",
      "input": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/inputs/INPUT_ID"
    }
  ]
}
'@  | Out-File -FilePath request.json -Encoding utf8

Then execute the following command to send your REST request:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method PATCH `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID?updateMask=input_attachments" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.video.livestream.v1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID",
    "verb": "update",
    "requestedCancellation": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false
}

This command creates a long-running operation (LRO) that you can use to track the progress of your request. See Manage long-running operations for more information.

Note: By default, the channel platform logs for the API are deactivated. You might need to enable these logs to debug and troubleshoot. See Activate platform logging for more information.

Start or stop a channel

Use the following methods to start or stop a channel. The server creates a part of the video pipeline when the channels.start request is received. The server releases a part of the video pipeline when the channels.stop request is received.

Start a channel

To start a channel, use the projects.locations.channels.start method.

Delete a channel

To delete a channel, use the projects.locations.channels.delete method. You must stop the channel and delete all channel events before you can delete the channel.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

• PROJECT_NUMBER: your Google Cloud project number; this is located in the Project number field on the IAM Settings page
• LOCATION: the location where your channel is located; use one of the supported regions
  Show locations
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1
  • southamerica-east1
  • asia-east1
  • asia-east2
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: a user-defined identifier for the channel

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID"

PowerShell (Windows)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Execute the following command:

$cred = gcloud auth print-access-token
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $cred" }

Invoke-WebRequest `
    -Method DELETE `
    -Headers $headers `
    -Uri "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID" | Select-Object -Expand Content

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.video.livestream.v1.OperationMetadata",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/channels/CHANNEL_ID",
    "verb": "delete",
    "requestedCancellation": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false
}

This command creates a long-running operation (LRO) that you can use to track the progress of your request. See Manage long-running operations for more information.
