Integration with Akamai AMD

To apply the Instant TV and Live2VOD features, you need to change a few settings in your Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD) property configuration.

1. In Property Manager, set the match criteria to match on archive manifest file extensions
   .m3u8 or .mpd with properly formatted Query String Parameters in the request URLs.

   

This example also shows endTime, but that's optional.

2. Add a Cache Key Query Parameters behavior to include startTime as an exact match ( endTime is optional).

   

3. Add a Caching behavior to Force revalidation of stale objects with origin.

   

4. If you're using token authentication with Instant TV, you need to enable Token
   in URI and add {filename}-archive.m3u8 in the Master Manifest Files list.

   You can also include a Filename match criteria to match on-archive. This prevents requests for other manifest files that include startTime and endTime as query string parameters from being interpreted as Instant TV requests. This example also shows endTime, but that's optional.

5. Configure the G2O authentication. Refer to the Configure G2O Authentication in Akamai AMD section for detailed information.
