Hi kieran,

Just taken a look i can see you 1080p preset is within the switcher everything seems to be working correctly when testing.

Using adaptive bitrate the player will automatically choose the playlist based on your connection you will need to select 1080p in the switcher to force it to play 1080p.

It also might be the size of your player go fullscreen and 1080p should be select for a good internet connection.

Also just so you know you can set the Global brand for all your players in the dashboard.

Hi Jamie,

Can you try now we have added some extra functionality.

We have stopped it appending S3Bubble to the name and have added the description throughout we have also tried to make it clearer that the name of the preset is the name that is displayed in the resolution switcher so we have added a 10 character limit to the name, no spaces and lowercase. The resolution switcher will now default to bitrate if the name is more than 10 characters.

Best Regards

Hi Jamie,

Taking a look at this now i see your presets haven’t been deleted all your folders are still there but the player doesn’t seem to be picking up all the presets.

Going to create some of your presets locally on our setup and run some tests.

Best Regards

Sam

Hi Jamie,

No, no other users have any say over your presets there is no shared functionality with S3Bubble everything you create is created in your AWS account.

All I can think is presets are region specific if you create presets in us-east they won’t show in another regions.

Hi dani74,

I think what you need to do is remove the delete policy from the IAM user, you have full control over what actions you can allow for your setup user.

Here is what we did for testing.

Go to IAM users: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home

Select your group or user depending on how you have attached S3Bubble.

You can detach the AmazonS3FullAccess policy and then create an Inline polcy

Select the policy generator you can then select

Effect: Allow
AWS Service: S3
Actions: Select every action here you would like this policy to allow.

You have full control over the permissions you would like this policy to have.

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Hi Tamtar,

If you are using cloudfront go to cloudfront in the sibebar, find the distribution you are using to stream, that is connected to your bucket and click update bucket policy.

If you are not using cloudfront go to your bucket click actions in the top right and click add secure bucket policy.

Best Regards

Hi Patrick,

If you are using Cloudfront which I think you are head over to this link.

https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/home?#usage_reports:

Select your distribution you get a whole range of states you can also download a CSV.

I will look into the Analytics see if we can find a better solution.

Hi Jamie,

Yes, the ability to turn of the resolution switches is a good shout we will be adding that to the next update.

I remember having a conversation with another user with them asking that it must be implemented. We stated that it goes against the whole point of hls adaptive bitrate streaming but we added it because it is handy in certain cases.

1. For movies the resolution switch is not really needed as the player should automatically switch depending on connection and pixelation is not an issue.

2. Video tutorials, in this case, we accepted it makes sense to add the switcher we have a user with video tutorials of them writing on a whiteboard if the video is pixellating the writing was hard to read so being able to switch up force HD read the text even with the possibility of buffering made sense for this scenario.

Regarding PC you will definitely be able to install ffmpeg but I couldn’t give you any advice sorry because I am a mac user, ffmpeg can do everything the Elastic Transcoder can and more it just requires learning all the commands and settings.

All content will work in S3bubble regardless off how it has been encoded.

Hi Frank,

We haven’t noticed any emails from you in our inbox perhaps they are going into spam please ask here if you have any questions.

Hi Both,

Also here is a video on how you can use a tool call ffmpeg to encode your media locally saving money with the Elastic Transcoder i am pretty sure AWS Elastic Transcoder is just ffmpeg run on a EC2 Instance.

You can install ffmpeg with homebrew on a mac simply open terminal click search top right and the type Terminal and press enter (this should open terminal) paste the following code in click enter.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Now again in your terminal window, you can simply run.

brew install ffmpeg

Remember we want you to have the most cost effective setup possible depending on skillset using the Elastic Transcoder is making AWS money not us.

Best Regards

Sam

Hi dani74,

Thanks for the update we took a look at doing this ourselves on a test bucket, the bucket already had a Cloudfront lockdown policy so we looked to apply it to this.

The current bucket policy was.

{
    "Version": "2008-10-17",
    "Id": "S3BubbleCloudfrontSecurity",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "S3BubbleAllow",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::cloudfront:user/CloudFront Origin Access Identity E2D70SZTA01982"
            },
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::s3bubble-test-support/*"
        }
    ]
}

After trying to add the policy we stated above we had the same issue which seemed to be related to the “s3:DeleteBucket” action this may need to be applied to a user policy.

After testing the full policy below works for us.

{
    "Version": "2008-10-17",
    "Id": "S3BubbleCloudfrontSecurity",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "S3BubbleAllow",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::cloudfront:user/CloudFront Origin Access Identity E2D70SZTA01982"
            },
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::s3bubble-test-support/*"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "S3BubbleDenyDelete",
            "Effect": "Deny",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": [
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:DeleteObjectVersion"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::s3bubble-test-support/*"
        }
    ]
}

After adding this policy and saving we then tried to delete an object through S3Bubble admin and got the correct Access Denied message.

You can remove and add policies as needed.

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Sam
