1. A method of processing media content in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Network Based Media Processing (NBMP), the method being performed by at least one processor, and the method comprising:
receiving, by a first application operating on an application server from a second application operating on a user device, a live session request to start a Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) session, wherein the application server comprises the first application, a NBMP source, and a NBMP workflow manager;
obtaining a list of a plurality of FLUS sinks;
selecting a FLUS media sink from among the plurality of FLUS sinks; and
sending a response to the second application including session information for establishing the FLUS session based on a NBMP workflow request, wherein the session information comprises control sink information and media sink information.
 
11. An apparatus for processing media content in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Network Based Media Processing (NBMP), the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory configured to store program code; and
at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code comprising:
receiving code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive, by a first application operating on an application server from a second application operating on a user device, a live session request to start a Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) session, wherein the application server comprises the first application, a NBMP source, and a NBMP workflow manager;
obtaining code configured to cause the at least one processor to obtain a list of a plurality of FLUS sinks;
selecting code configured to cause the at least one processor to select a FLUS media sink from among the plurality of FLUS sinks; and
first sending code configured to cause the at least one processor to send a response to the second application including session information for establishing the FLUS session based on a NBMP workflow request, wherein the session information comprises control sink information and media sink information.
 
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an apparatus for processing media content in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Network Based Media Processing (NBMP), cause the at least one processor to:
receive, by a first application operating on an application server from a second application operating on a user device, a live session request to start a Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) session, wherein the application server comprises the first application, a NBMP source, and a NBMP workflow manager;
obtain a list of a plurality of FLUS sinks;
select a FLUS media sink from among the plurality of FLUS sinks; and
send a response to the second application including session information for establishing the FLUS session based on a NBMP workflow request, wherein the session information comprises control sink information and media sink information.
