After completing your MSL5: DASH Ingest setup, configure your encoder to capture and push your stream to the entry points.

DASH Publishing URL

The encoder publishes primary and backup streams for the DASH protocol according to the following URL syntax.

StreamHostnamePathExample
Primaryp-ep{stream_id}.i.harmonicincentrypoint.net{stream_id}/{event_name}http(s)://p-ep50002.i.harmonicincentrypoint.net/9dbd53ba-ac76-45a1-9581-a4c1737f85c5/event1/manifest.mpd
Backupb-ep{stream_id}.i.harmonicincentrypoint.net{stream_id}-b/{event_name}http(s)://b-ep50002.i.harmonicincentrypoint.net/9dbd53ba-ac76-45a1-9581-a4c1737f85c5-b/event1/manifest.mpd

The MSL5 system defines a stream as a combination of stream_id and event_name. All ingested content, such as variant playlists, bitrate playlists, and segments, should have a common event_name in the path.

In Backup URLs, note the -b in the path.

DASH Playback URL

To play DASH streams, construct the DASH according to this URL syntax.
The following URLs are used for playback. The {stream_id} and {event_name} placeholders correspond to the stream's configuration.

StreamPathExample
Primarydash/live/{stream_id}/{event_name}/{filename}.mpdhttp(s)://origin.harmonicinczed.net/dash/live/9dbd53ba-ac76-45a1-9581-a4c1737f85c5/event_1/index.mpd
Backupdash/live/{stream_id}-b/{event_name}/{filename}.mpdhttp(s)://origin.harmonicinczed.net/dash/live/9dbd53ba-ac76-45a1-9581-a4c1737f85c5-b/event_1/index.mpd

In Backup URLs, note the -b in the path.
