Quickstart for an HLS live stream

Quickstart for an HLS live stream

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

You can also perform this quickstart directly in the Google Cloud console using either of the following programming languages:

• Node.js
• Python

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

   • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

     gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

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 Google Account:

   gcloud auth application-default login

8. Grant roles to your Google 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:EMAIL_ADDRESS" --role=ROLE

   • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.
   • Replace EMAIL_ADDRESS with your email address.
   • 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

    • Select the Google Cloud project that you created:

      gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

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 Google Account:

    gcloud auth application-default login

15. Grant roles to your Google 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:EMAIL_ADDRESS" --role=ROLE

    • Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.
    • Replace EMAIL_ADDRESS with your email address.
    • 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:

gsutil mb 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.

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:
  • 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
• 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.

Request JSON body:

{
  "type": "RTMP_PUSH"
}

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, 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:

@'
{
  "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",
    "createTime": CREATE_TIME,
    "target": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION/inputs/INPUT_ID",
    "verb": "create",
    "requestedCancellation": false,
    "apiVersion": "v1"

  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:
  • 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
• 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:

  }
}

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 HLS live stream that 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:
  • us-central1
  • us-east1
  • us-east4
  • us-west1
  • us-west2
  • northamerica-northeast1

Get the channel

You can check for the result of the channel creation operation using the new operation ID.

Once the channel has been created, use the projects.locations.channels.get method to query the channel state.

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:
  • 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, 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:

$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

end

The full response contains the following field. (Some of the code samples above only return certain fields in the response but can be modified to return the full response.)

{
  ...
  "streamingState": "STOPPED"
  ...
}

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.

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

  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.m3u8
• mux_video_ts/
  • Multiple segment-segment-number.ts files
  • A single index-1.m3u8 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:

      gsutil cors set JSON_FILE_NAME.json gs://BUCKET_NAME

3. In the Cloud Storage bucket, find the generated main.m3u8 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.

Verify the ad break marker exists

When the ad marker is inserted in the live stream, an event labeled CUE-OUT appears in the HLS manifest for the specified ad duration (100s).

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

gsutil cat gs://BUCKET_NAME/mux_video_ts/index-1.m3u8

You may have to run the gsutil cat command multiple times until the CUE-OUT section appears:

Clean up

To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used on this page, follow these steps.

Stop the channel

Use the projects.locations.channels.stop method to stop the channel. You must stop the channel before you can delete it.

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

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, 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:

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

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

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

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 channel

Use the projects.locations.channels.delete method to delete the channel. You must delete the channel before you can delete the input endpoint that is used by 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:
  • 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, 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:

$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
}
