How do I add a domain name to CSS?
1. Log in to the CSS Console and enter Domain Management. 2. Add your own push or playback domain name. For more information, please see Adding Domain Name. 4. After successful configuration, you can push and play back with your own domain name.
Why CNAME is still displayed as not configured after configuration?
After you configure CNAME as instructed in CNAME Configuration, please wait patiently because it takes 15-30 minutes for the configuration to take effect. In addition, you can check whether CNAME configuration is successful by following the steps in Verifying the Effect of CNAME Record. Note:
DNS resolution must be performed over the public network on Linux/macOS/Windows.
If the CNAME configuration failure persists, consult your domain name registrar.
What if I don't add my own domain name?
If you activated the CSS service after October 17, 2018, you are required to add your own domain name for playback; otherwise, you cannot play back the live streaming content.
If you activated the service before then, CSS provided a default domain name for you, but we recommend that you replace it with your own domain name. Tencent Cloud has started phasing out the default domain names since December 31, 2018.
Note:
Default domain names are system domain names assigned by CSS in the format of bizid.liveplay.com`` and
bizid.tlivecdn.com`.
I have configured special items for the default domain name. Can my own domain name be resolved to the default one?
To use a new domain name, connect it to CSS from scratch. We recommend that you add and configure your own domain name in the CSS Console.
Does the bypass live broadcast in interactive live broadcast also need to add its own registered domain name?
If you use the bypass live broadcast service, you need to add your own registered domain name for downstream playback of the bypass live stream.
What certificate format should be filled in for live HTTPS configuration?
Live broadcast currently only supports access to certificates in PEM format. If your certificate is in another format, it needs to be converted to PEM format.
How to tell whether a certificate is in PEM format or DER format?
PEM format: The text format starts with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
and ends with -----END CERTIFICATE-----
, and the content is a Base64-encoded ASCII code file. Common extensions are .pem, .crt, .cer, .key.
Note:
Apache and Nginx servers prefer this encoding format.
DER format: The file format is binary and not readable. Common extensions are .der
and .cer
.
Note:
Java and Windows servers prefer this encoding format.
What does the Live authentication validity period mean?
Playback authentication supports configuring the valid time parameter, which is mainly used when the distribution playback address has been provided to the platform, but the end time of the conference site may change. At this time, downlink playback cannot be affected, so we support modifying the authentication validity time of the playback domain name. To achieve delayed address expiration time.
The default validity time is 0. At this time, the expiration time is the time of txTime. The actual final end time = txTime + authentication validity period.
