Hi Martin
Just following up on the email I got from FV regarding the MediaConvert Guide – is it nearly ready?

Hi Neil!
I think it will be ready today. I will inform you right away.
Thanks,
Lucia
Hello Neil,
please have a look here: https://foliovision.com/player/securing-your-video/mediaconvert-encrypted-hls-guide

Hi Martin
Thank you. Reading now.

Hi Martin
Would it be possible to provide ‘audio only’ variations on the instructions in the MediaConvert Guide for users such as myself who are primarily using the FV player for audio tracks?

Neil
Hello Neil,
please check this AWS support thread, it reals with the same issue: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=272506
I read through that thread quickly and it seems MediaConvert cannot create an audio only HLS stream currently (it was written in January 2018, so perhaps it’s supported now). I think it’s best if you just try to do it and refer to that thread in case of issues.
Thanks,
Martin
Had a quick read of the thread above and also checked out a very good AWS article on MediaConvert at https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/media/how-to-migrate-workflows-from-amazon-elastic-transcoder-to-aws-elemental-mediaconvert/

Hello Neil,
did that help you figure out how to create audio-only HLS streams with MediaConvert?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin
Yes and no!
There are a lot of useful links regarding allowable inputs and outputs and other information. There is also a White Paper https://d1.awsstatic.com/awselemental/howto/How-To-Converting-Amazon-Elastic-Transcoder-Presets-to-AWS-Elemental-MediaConvert.pdf with the script available from GitHub https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-vod-preset-convert
Far too advanced for me but I am sure with Python being the language I could find a specialist to do this. However, I do not think that it will be too long before MediaConvert will have similar choices to Elastic Transcoder for MP3 to encrypted HLS.
