Prepare content source

The serverside.ai service follows all standards and specifications for the best stream and user experience. It is strongly recommended to follow the standards for the source stream/content creation.

Basic requirements

The manifest (VoD or LIVE) must satisfy the following requirements

  • Manifest (.m3u8 for HLS and .mpd for MPEG-DASH) must be accessible on the public internet via the origin (PULL method).

  • The endpoint/origin must be accessible without any authentication method and...

  • ...must deliver the stream (manifest, submanifest and segments) via HTTPS.

  • Source (HLS and DASH segments) can be hosted in your own infrastructure and be CDN (Content Delivery Network like Akamai) enabled.

  • The ssai service will only request the manifest file and the player will request the segments from the origin.
