Configuring Origin Pull

Notes

• If you set Origin Server to My origin server (domain name) or My origin server (IP address) for a streaming domain name, livestreams of the ingest domain name associated with this streaming domain name cannot be played, and functions such as transcoding cannot be used.
• The default origin port number is 80 for HTTP and 1935 for RTMP.
• For LLL, ensure that there is no B-frame for origin pull.

Prerequisites

• If Origin Server is set to Huawei origin server, ensure that you have added an ingest domain name and a streaming domain name, associated the domain names, and configured CNAME records at your domain names' DNS provider.
• If Origin Server is set to My origin server (domain name) or My origin server (IP address), ensure that you have added a streaming domain name and configured the CNAME record at your domain names' DNS provider.

   Table 1 Origin pull parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Origin Server	There are three options: Huawei origin server: pulls livestreams from the Huawei origin server by default My origin server (domain name): pulls livestreams from your own origin server. You can configure multiple origin domains. My origin server (IP address): pulls livestreams from your own origin server. You can configure multiple origin IP addresses and one origin domain.
   Origin Protocol	Protocol used by Live to pull streams from the origin server. This parameter is used only when Origin Server is not Huawei origin server. Only RTMP and HTTP-FLV are supported.
   Origin IP Address	You can configure a maximum of 10 IP addresses. If an origin pull fails, the system polls origin IP addresses in the configured sequence. This parameter is mandatory when Origin Server is set to My origin server (IP address).
   Origin Domain	Currently, the value can only be a pure domain name, for example, www.example.com. This parameter is mandatory when Origin Server is set to My origin server (domain name). A maximum of 10 origin domains can be configured. If multiple origin domains are configured, the system polls the domains in the configured sequence when an origin pull fails. This parameter is optional when Origin Server is set to My origin server (IP address). A maximum of one origin domain can be configured. If an origin domain is configured, both the HTTP-FLV HOST header and the RTMP tcurl field are set to the origin domain. If there is no origin domain, HOST is set to the current IP address.
   Origin Port	Customizable. Default values: If Origin Protocol is set to HTTP-FLV, the default value is 80. If Origin Protocol is set to RTMP, the default value is 1935.
   Origin Parameters	(Optional) When Origin Server is set to My origin server (IP address) or My origin server (domain name), you can specify the additional parameters carried in the origin URL. Each key corresponds to one value. You can add multiple pairs. During origin pull, origin parameters are separated using &. Example: key1=value1&key2=value2

7. Click OK.
8. Assemble a streaming URL for playback.
