Hi @kkrao2301 , thanks for your feedback. MediaPackage VOD support is definitely something we want to implement as part of Amplify Video, but we don't have a timeframe for it today. Can you help me understand a few things?
Thanks!
Hi @smp , Thanks for taking this into consideration.
Hope this helps!!
Ps: If there is an example on how to implement the VoD solution on AWS with Amplify it would really help. https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/video-on-demand-on-aws/
Even with mediapackage hosting your VOD assets you'll need to transcode to all resolutions and bitrates necessary. Where a just-in-time-packager can help is if you need multiple protocols (HLS/DASH/etc) or multiple DRM systems (fairplay, playready, etc).
If you're just planning a single protocol (HLS) and a single content protection scheme (clear key aes) you might not need mediapackage as you can do this today with Amplify Video through a custom template + s3 as origin.
I'd encourage you to evaluate the differences between a full-fledged DRM System (which can be complex and costly to implement) vs a clear key scheme which can offer some light protection when combined with signed-urls/auth. It depends on your content and how deep you want to go into the rabbit hole of key management / subscriber management system. Some good info on the differences here on stack overflow

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I would like to see Media Package enabled with the VOD solution, It would not only help reduce the trans-coding costs. Also helps with delivering gracefully using DRM.
