Quickstart for an MPEG-DASH live stream

Quickstart for an MPEG-DASH live stream

This page shows you how to create a basic MPEG-DASH live stream job using the default settings of the Live Stream API and curl, PowerShell, or the client libraries.

Before you begin

1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.
2. Install the Google Cloud CLI.

3. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run the following command:

   gcloud init

4. Create or select a Google Cloud project.

   Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

   • Create a Google Cloud project:

     gcloud projects create PROJECT_ID

     Replace PROJECT_ID with a name for the Google Cloud project you are creating.

   • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

     gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

     Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project name.

5. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

6. Enable the Live Stream API:

   gcloud services enable livestream.googleapis.com

7. Create local authentication credentials for your user account:

   gcloud auth application-default login

8. Grant roles to your user account. Run the following command once for each of the following IAM roles: roles/livestream.editor, roles/storage.admin

   gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID --member="user:USER_IDENTIFIER" --role=ROLE

   • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.

   • Replace USER_IDENTIFIER with the identifier for your user account. For example, user:[e-mail].

   • Replace ROLE with each individual role.
9. Install the Google Cloud CLI.

10. To initialize the gcloud CLI, run the following command:

    gcloud init

11. Create or select a Google Cloud project.

    Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

    • Create a Google Cloud project:

      gcloud projects create PROJECT_ID

      Replace PROJECT_ID with a name for the Google Cloud project you are creating.

    • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

      gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

      Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project name.

12. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

13. Enable the Live Stream API:

    gcloud services enable livestream.googleapis.com

14. Create local authentication credentials for your user account:

    gcloud auth application-default login

15. Grant roles to your user account. Run the following command once for each of the following IAM roles: roles/livestream.editor, roles/storage.admin

    gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID --member="user:USER_IDENTIFIER" --role=ROLE

    • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.

    • Replace USER_IDENTIFIER with the identifier for your user account. For example, user:[e-mail].

    • Replace ROLE with each individual role.

Create a Cloud Storage bucket

Create a Cloud Storage bucket to hold the live stream manifest and segment files.

Google Cloud console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Storage Buckets page.

   Go to Buckets page

2. Click Create bucket.
3. On the Create a bucket page, enter your bucket information. To go to the next step, click Continue.
   • For Name your bucket, enter a name that meets the bucket naming requirements.
   • For Choose where to store your data, do the following:
     • Select a Location type option.
     • Select a Location option.
   • For Choose a default storage class for your data, select the following: Standard.
   • For Choose how to control access to objects, select an Access control option.
   • For Advanced settings (optional), specify an encryption method, a retention policy, or bucket labels.
4. Click Create.

Command line

Create a Cloud Storage bucket:

gcloud storage buckets create gs://BUCKET_NAME

Replace BUCKET_NAME with a bucket name that meets the bucket naming requirements.

Install an encoder

To use the API, you need an encoder to generate input streams that the API processes.

Install ffmpeg as this page covers how to use ffmpeg to generate input streams. You can install this in Cloud Shell using the following command.

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Create an input endpoint

To start a live stream, you first must use the projects.locations.inputs.create method to create an input endpoint. You send the input stream to this endpoint.

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 input endpoint; 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-south1
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-north1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• INPUT_ID: a user-defined identifier for the new input endpoint to create (to which you send your input stream). This value must be 1-63 characters, begin and end with [a-z0-9], and can contain dashes (-) between characters. For example, my-input.

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'
{
  "type": "RTMP_PUSH"
}
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/inputs?inputId=INPUT_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:

@'
{
  "type": "RTMP_PUSH"
}
'@  | 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 POST `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" `
    -InFile request.json `
    -Uri "https://livestream.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/inputs?inputId=INPUT_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",

  # Build the resource name of the parent.
  parent = client.location_path project: project_id, location: location

  # Set the input fields.
  new_input = {
    type: Google::Cloud::Video::LiveStream::V1::Input::Type::RTMP_PUSH
  }

  operation = client.create_input parent: parent, input: new_input, input_id: input_id

  # The returned object is of type Gapic::Operation. You can use this
  # object to check the status of an operation, cancel it, or wait
  # for results. Here is how to block until completion:
  operation.wait_until_done!

  # Print the input name.
  puts "Input: #{operation.response.name}"
end

Copy the returned OPERATION_ID to use in the next section.

Check for the result

Use the projects.locations.operations.get method to check if the input endpoint has been created. If the response contains "done: false", repeat the command until the response contains "done: true". Creating the first input endpoint in a region may take up to 10 minutes.

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 input endpoint 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-south1

  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-north1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• OPERATION_ID: the identifier for the operation

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/operations/OPERATION_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/operations/OPERATION_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,

    "tier": "HD"
  }
}

Find the uri field and copy the returned INPUT_STREAM_URI to use later in the Send the input stream section.

Create a channel

To transcode the input stream into an output stream, you need to create a channel resource.

To create a channel, use the projects.locations.channels.create method. The following example creates a channel generating an MPEG-DASH live stream that consists of a single, high-definition (1280x720) rendition.

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

This response indicates that you can now start the channel.

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 the channel

Use the projects.locations.channels.start method to start the channel. A channel must be started before it can accept input streams or generate an output stream.

Starting the first channel in a region takes about 10 minutes.

  name = client.channel_path project: project_id, location: location, channel: channel_id

  # Start the channel.
  operation = client.start_channel name: name

  # The returned object is of type Gapic::Operation. You can use this
  # object to check the status of an operation, cancel it, or wait
  # for results. Here is how to block until completion:
  operation.wait_until_done!

  # Print a success message.
  puts "Started channel"
end

Send the input stream

To determine if the channel has started, get the channel information as done previously. The response should contain the following:

{
  ...
  "streamingState": "AWAITING_INPUT"
  ...
}

Now that the channel is ready, send a test input stream to the input endpoint to generate the live stream.

Open a new terminal window. Run the following command, using the INPUT_STREAM_URI from the Check for the result section:

ffmpeg -re -f lavfi -i "testsrc=size=1280x720 [out0]; sine=frequency=500 [out1]" \
  -acodec aac -vcodec h264 -f flv INPUT_STREAM_URI

Check that the channel is streaming

To check the status of the live streaming operation, get the channel information as done previously. The response should contain the following:

{
  ...
  "streamingState": "STREAMING"
  ...
}

Verify the contents in the Cloud Storage bucket

Open the Cloud Storage bucket. Verify that it contains the following files and directories:

• main.mpd
• mux_audio/
  • Multiple segment-segment-number.m4s files
  • A single segment-initialization_segment_0000000000.m4s file
• mux_video/
  • Multiple segment-segment-number.m4s files
  • A single segment-initialization_segment_0000000000.m4s file

Play the generated live stream

Note: If you want to create a CDN for the media outputs, see the Media CDN quickstart.

To play the generated media file in Shaka Player, complete the following steps:

1. Make the Cloud Storage bucket you created publicly readable.
2. To enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) on a Cloud Storage bucket, do the following:
   1. Create a JSON file that contains the following:

      [
        {
          "origin": ["https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/"],
          "responseHeader": ["Content-Type", "Range"],
          "method": ["GET", "HEAD"],
          "maxAgeSeconds": 3600
        }
      ]

   2. Run the following command after replacing JSON_FILE_NAME with the name of the JSON file you created in the previous step:

      gcloud storage buckets update gs://BUCKET_NAME --cors-file=JSON_FILE_NAME.json

3. In the Cloud Storage bucket, find the generated main.mpd file. Click Copy URL in the file's Public access column.
4. Navigate to Shaka Player, an online live stream player.
5. Click Custom Content in the top navigation bar.
6. Click the + button.

7. Paste the public URL of the file into the Manifest URL box.

   

8. Type a name in the Name box.

9. Click Save.

10. Click Play.

You should see a test pattern play as the live stream.

Add an ad break marker to the live stream

Use the projects.locations.channels.events.create method to add an ad break marker to the live stream.

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

  • europe-west4
• CHANNEL_ID: a user-defined identifier for the channel
• EVENT_ID: a user-defined identifier for the event

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'
{
  "adBreak": {
    "duration": "100s"
  },
  "executeNow": true
}
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 \

Verify the ad break marker exists

When the ad marker is inserted in the live stream, an event labeled <SpliceInfoSection> appears in the DASH manifest for the specified ad duration (100s).

Run the following command to see the contents of the generated DASH manifest:

gcloud storage cat gs://BUCKET_NAME/main.mpd

You may have to run the gcloud storage cat command multiple times until the <SpliceInfoSection> section appears:

<EventStream timescale="10000000" schemeIdUri="urn:scte:scte35:2013:xml">
  <Event duration="100000000" id="809">

  # Stop the channel.
  operation = client.stop_channel name: name

  # The returned object is of type Gapic::Operation. You can use this
  # object to check the status of an operation, cancel it, or wait
  # for results. Here is how to block until completion:
  operation.wait_until_done!

  # Print a success message.
  puts "Stopped channel"
end

Use the OPERATION_ID to check for the operation status until you get "done":true in the result.

Stop the input stream

If you used ffmpeg to send the input stream, the connection is automatically broken after you stop the channel.

If you used other encoders with retry mechanisms, you may need to manually stop the input stream.

Delete the event

Use the projects.locations.channels.events.delete method to delete the ad break event. You must delete channel events before you can delete the channel.

REST

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

  # Build the resource name of the channel.
  name = client.channel_path project: project_id, location: location, channel: channel_id

  # Delete the channel.
  operation = client.delete_channel name: name

  # The returned object is of type Gapic::Operation. You can use this
  # object to check the status of an operation, cancel it, or wait
  # for results. Here is how to block until completion:
  operation.wait_until_done!

  # Print a success message.
  puts "Deleted channel"
end

Use the OPERATION_ID to check for the operation status until you get "done":true in the result.

Delete the input endpoint

Use the projects.locations.inputs.delete method to delete the input endpoint.

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 input endpoint 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-south1
  • asia-northeast1
  • asia-southeast1
  • australia-southeast1
  • europe-north1
  • europe-west1
  • europe-west2
  • europe-west3
  • europe-west4
• INPUT_ID: the user-defined identifier for the input endpoint

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/inputs/INPUT_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/inputs/INPUT_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/inputs/INPUT_ID",
    "verb": "delete",
    "requestedCancellation": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"
  },
  "done": false
