Does AWS Elemental MediaLive support input of type LLHLS (Low-Latency HLS)?

Question

While using AWS Elemental Media Live I've tried ingesting multiple working LLHLS streams and all fail with:
- Video Not Detected [VideoBuffer[1]] Video not detected: Check input signal
- Audio Not Detected [1.1] Audio not detected: Check input signal
- [Failed probe/open: [No parser found for container]

I do not have the same issue with HLS - it just works.

**Question:** Does AWS Media Live support LLHLS? If NO, are there any alternative AWS resources that do (e.g. Kinesis)?

Answer

Hi, yes, it does and it's brand new: see https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/05/aws-elemental-mediapackage-low-latency-hls/

```
Starting today you can package your media streams in Low-Latency HTTP Live 
Streaming (LL-HLS) format with AWS Elemental MediaPackage. LL-HLS functionality 
can be used with AWS Elemental MediaLive or AWS Elemental Live v2.25.0, in combination 
with SCTE-35 for ad insertion workflows, and with SPEKE v2 for multi-key digital rights 
management (DRM), including key rotation.

```
