If you want to deliver the HLS videos through 5centsCDN then you need to create an HTTP pull zone with HLS|DVR optimization. So CDN will pull the HLS stream from your cloud storage and cache the stream and deliver via CDN. Please follow the steps to create a pull zone.
- Login to 5centsCDN console.
- Go to zones and select HTTP Pull zone.
- Click on the Green Plus Button which is located at the top of the extreme right corner.
- Provide your Your Origin Server Hostname.
- In Optimize For option, you need to select HLS/DASH VoD.
- You can set your custom CNAME that can be used to retrieve your content so that the request will be redirected to our CDN. To make this happen you need to contact your DNS provider and add the custom CNAME in the DNS record to redirect the same to our CDN.
- Under Cache Settings, you can set the cache expiry period as required.
- Origin IP Resolution configures your zone to use a different IP address for your origin server.
- By setting the Bandwidth Limiter you can limit the speed based on the ‘Rate’ value after reaching a specified Bandwidth Limit.
- Click on the Create Button.
