});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the KinesisVideoMedia object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var kinesisvideomedia = new AWS.KinesisVideoMedia({apiVersion: '2017-09-30'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the kinesisvideomedia service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  kinesisvideomedia: '2017-09-30',
  // other service API versions
};

var kinesisvideomedia = new AWS.KinesisVideoMedia();

• computeChecksums (Boolean) —

  whether to compute checksums for payload bodies when the service accepts it (currently supported in S3 only)

• convertResponseTypes (Boolean) —

  whether types are converted when parsing response data. Currently only supported for JSON based services. Turning this off may improve performance on large response payloads. Defaults to true.

• correctClockSkew (Boolean) —

  whether to apply a clock skew correction and retry requests that fail because of an skewed client clock. Defaults to false.

• s3ForcePathStyle (Boolean) —

  whether to force path style URLs for S3 objects.

Returns:

• (AWS.Endpoint) —

  an Endpoint object representing the endpoint URL for service requests.

Method Details

getMedia(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Use this API to retrieve media content from a Kinesis video stream. In the request, you identify the stream name or stream Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and the starting chunk. Kinesis Video Streams then returns a stream of chunks in order by fragment number.

Note: You must first call the GetDataEndpoint API to get an endpoint. Then send the GetMedia requests to this endpoint using the --endpoint-url parameter.

When you put media data (fragments) on a stream, Kinesis Video Streams stores each incoming fragment and related metadata in what is called a "chunk." For more information, see PutMedia. The GetMedia API returns a stream of these chunks starting from the chunk that you specify in the request.

The following limits apply when using the GetMedia API:

• A client can call GetMedia up to five times per second per stream.

• Kinesis Video Streams sends media data at a rate of up to 25 megabytes per second (or 200 megabits per second) during a GetMedia session.

Note: If an error is thrown after invoking a Kinesis Video Streams media API, in addition to the HTTP status code and the response body, it includes the following pieces of information:

• x-amz-ErrorType HTTP header – contains a more specific error type in addition to what the HTTP status code provides.
• x-amz-RequestId HTTP header – if you want to report an issue to AWS, the support team can better diagnose the problem if given the Request Id.

Both the HTTP status code and the ErrorType header can be utilized to make programmatic decisions about whether errors are retry-able and under what conditions, as well as provide information on what actions the client programmer might need to take in order to successfully try again. For more information, see the Errors section at the bottom of this topic, as well as Common Errors.

Service Reference:

• GetMedia

Examples:

Calling the getMedia operation

var params = {
  StartSelector: { /* required */
    StartSelectorType: FRAGMENT_NUMBER | SERVER_TIMESTAMP | PRODUCER_TIMESTAMP | NOW | EARLIEST | CONTINUATION_TOKEN, /* required */
    AfterFragmentNumber: 'STRING_VALUE',
    ContinuationToken: 'STRING_VALUE',
    StartTimestamp: new Date || 'Wed Dec 31 1969 16:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)' || 123456789
  },
  StreamARN: 'STRING_VALUE',
  StreamName: 'STRING_VALUE'
};
kinesisvideomedia.getMedia(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

• params (Object) (defaults to: {}) —
  • StreamName — (String)

    The Kinesis video stream name from where you want to get the media content. If you don't specify the streamName, you must specify the streamARN.

  • StreamARN — (String)

    The ARN of the stream from where you want to get the media content. If you don't specify the streamARN, you must specify the streamName.

  • StartSelector — (map)

    Identifies the starting chunk to get from the specified stream.

    • StartSelectorType — required — (String)

      Identifies the fragment on the Kinesis video stream where you want to start getting the data from.

      • NOW - Start with the latest chunk on the stream.

      • EARLIEST - Start with earliest available chunk on the stream.

      • FRAGMENT_NUMBER - Start with the chunk after a specific fragment. You must also specify the AfterFragmentNumber parameter.

      • PRODUCER_TIMESTAMP or SERVER_TIMESTAMP - Start with the chunk containing a fragment with the specified producer or server timestamp. You specify the timestamp by adding StartTimestamp.

      • CONTINUATION_TOKEN - Read using the specified continuation token.

      Note: If you choose the NOW, EARLIEST, or CONTINUATION_TOKEN as the startSelectorType, you don't provide any additional information in the startSelector.
      Possible values include:
      • "FRAGMENT_NUMBER"
      • "SERVER_TIMESTAMP"
      • "PRODUCER_TIMESTAMP"
      • "NOW"
      • "EARLIEST"
      • "CONTINUATION_TOKEN"
    • AfterFragmentNumber — (String)

      Specifies the fragment number from where you want the GetMedia API to start returning the fragments.

    • StartTimestamp — (Date)

      A timestamp value. This value is required if you choose the PRODUCER_TIMESTAMP or the SERVER_TIMESTAMP as the startSelectorType. The GetMedia API then starts with the chunk containing the fragment that has the specified timestamp.

    • ContinuationToken — (String)

      Continuation token that Kinesis Video Streams returned in the previous GetMedia response. The GetMedia API then starts with the chunk identified by the continuation token.

Callback (callback):

• function(err, data) { ... }

  Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

  Context (this):

  • (AWS.Response) —

    the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

  Parameters:

  • err (Error) —

    the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

  • data (Object) —

    the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

    • ContentType — (String)

      The content type of the requested media.

    • Payload — (Buffer(Node.js), Typed Array(Browser), ReadableStream)

      The payload Kinesis Video Streams returns is a sequence of chunks from the specified stream. For information about the chunks, see . The chunks that Kinesis Video Streams returns in the GetMedia call also include the following additional Matroska (MKV) tags:

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_CONTINUATION_TOKEN (UTF-8 string) - In the event your GetMedia call terminates, you can use this continuation token in your next request to get the next chunk where the last request terminated.

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_MILLIS_BEHIND_NOW (UTF-8 string) - Client applications can use this tag value to determine how far behind the chunk returned in the response is from the latest chunk on the stream.

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_FRAGMENT_NUMBER - Fragment number returned in the chunk.

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_SERVER_TIMESTAMP - Server timestamp of the fragment.

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_PRODUCER_TIMESTAMP - Producer timestamp of the fragment.

      The following tags will be present if an error occurs:

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_ERROR_CODE - String description of an error that caused GetMedia to stop.

      • AWS_KINESISVIDEO_ERROR_ID: Integer code of the error.

      The error codes are as follows:

      • 3002 - Error writing to the stream

      • 4000 - Requested fragment is not found

      • 4500 - Access denied for the stream's KMS key

      • 4501 - Stream's KMS key is disabled

      • 4502 - Validation error on the stream's KMS key

      • 4504 - Invalid usage of the KMS key specified in the stream

      • 4505 - Invalid state of the KMS key specified in the stream

      • 4506 - Unable to find the KMS key specified in the stream

      • 5000 - Internal error

Returns:

• (AWS.Request) —

  a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.
