# URL Pull (HLS) input configuration
<a name="url-pull-hls-input-configuration"></a>

URL Pull provides the option to ingest an HLS stream over HTTP or HTTPS. The following parameters are required to configure the solution to ingest an HLS stream:
+  **Source Input Type** - URL\_PULL
+  **Source URL** - The HTTP(s) link to the HLS stream manifest file. The default value is a demo stream from AWS.
+  **Source Username** - Only required if you have basic authentication setup on your source HLS stream.
+  **Source Password** - Only required if you have basic authentication setup on your source HLS stream.
+  **Encoding Profile** - Select the profile that best matches your source resolution.
+  **Start MediaLive Channel** - If your device is ready to stream, select **true**. Otherwise, select **false**--you can start the MediaLive channel through the AWS console when you’re ready to stream.
