Integration with Adaptive Media Delivery using Instant TV and Live2VOD features
Update your Adaptive Media Delivery property
To apply the Instant TV and Live2VOD features, you need to change a few settings in your Adaptive Media Delivery (AMD) property configuration.
-
In Property Manager, set the match criteria to match on archive manifest file extensions
.m3u8or .mpdwith properly formatted Query String Parameters in the request URLs.
This example also shows endTime, but that's optional.
-
Add a Cache Key Query Parameters behavior to include
startTimeas an exact match (endTimeis optional).
-
Add a Caching behavior to Force revalidation of stale objects with origin.

-
If you're using token authentication with Instant TV, you need to enable Token
in URI and add{filename}-archive.m3u8in 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 includestartTimeandendTimeas query string parameters from being interpreted as Instant TV requests. This example also showsendTime, but that's optional. -
Configure the G2O authentication. Refer to the Configure G2O Authentication in Akamai AMD section for detailed information.
Archived segment URL behavior
When requesting Live2VOD content with startTime and endTime more than 12 hours behind the current time, playback is served from archived media. For this case, the playlist will reference archived segment URLs in this format:
https://[CDN_HOSTNAME]/[hls/dash]/live/[stream_id]/[event_name]/[segment].mp4?archive=1Important requirement:
Thearchive=1query parameter is mandatory for archived segment retrieval. Your CDN configuration must preserve and forward thisarchive=1parameter to the Origin. Ifarchive=1is removed or not passed through, Origin may return 404 and fails to serve the archived segment.Do not configure archive as a Cache Key Query Parameter for segments. Forward the archive parameter only to the Origin. By excluding it from the cache key, the CDN can serve the same cached segment to both live and archived viewers efficiently.
