1. Create a space in DuraCloud which you will use to host streamed files
2. Transfer media files to the space. Be sure that the file are using supported formats (see the link above).
3. Enable streaming
   1. To enable open streaming: Select the space in the DuraCloud interface and click the "ON" button next to "Streaming:" in the top row of buttons.
   2. To enable secure streaming: Perform a POST HTTP call to the URL https://{institution}.duracloud.org/durastore/task/enable-streaming. The body of the POST request should include this JSON document: {"spaceId" : "","secure" : "true"}. Fill in the ID of the space to stream. Note that this call is using the DuraCloud REST API.
4. Wait up to 15 minutes. If this is the first time the space has been streamed, it can take up to 15 minutes for the files to be available on the Amazon edge servers.
5. Stream a file
   1. When using open streaming: 
      1. Select a media file in the space. A video player will appear in the Content Detail pane. Verify that you are able to play the streamed file.
      2. Look in the space properties for the RTMP streaming address. This is the path you will use for streaming files. Alternatively, you can perform a get-url task call through the DuraCloud REST API to retrieve the streaming URL for each content item to be streamed. These URLs are predictable and do not expire.
   2. When using secure streaming:
      
      1. Spaces using secure streaming do not provide playback via the DuraCloud UI. You will need to perform a "get-signed-url" call to retrieve a signed URL for each content item to be streamed, and stream the file through an RTMP compatible player. More details about the get-signed-url call can be found in the Amazon S3 Storage Provider tasks section of the DuraCloud REST API.
6. Set up your website or application to provide access to the streamed files. Some example files to get you started are listed below.
