Stream descriptors
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There can be multiple *stream_descriptor* with input from the same "file" or
multiple different "files".
Stream is of the form::
{field}={value}[,{field}={value}]...
These are the available fields:
:input (in):
input/source media "file" path, which can be regular files, pipes, udp
streams. See :doc:`/options/udp_file_options` on additional options for UDP
files.
:stream_selector (stream):
Required field with value 'audio', 'video', 'text' or stream number (zero
based).
:output (out):
Required output file path (single file).
:init_segment:
initialization segment path (multiple file).
:segment_template (segment):
Optional value which specifies the naming pattern for the segment files,
and that the stream should be split into multiple files. Its presence should
be consistent across streams. See
:doc:`/options/segment_template_formatting`.
:bandwidth (bw):
Optional value which contains a user-specified content bit rate for the
stream, in bits/sec. If specified, this value is propagated to (HLS)
EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH or (DASH) Representation@bandwidth and the
$Bandwidth$ template parameter for segment names. If not specified, the
bandwidth value is estimated from content bitrate. Note that it only affects
the generated manifests/playlists; it has no effect on the media content
itself.
:language (lang):
Optional value which contains a user-specified language tag. If specified,
this value overrides any language metadata in the input stream.
:output_format (format):
Optional value which specifies the format of the output files (MP4 or WebM).
If not specified, it will be derived from the file extension of the output
file.
:skip_encryption=0|1:
Optional. Defaults to 0 if not specified. If it is set to 1, no encryption
of the stream will be made.
:trick_play_factor (tpf):
Optional value which specifies the trick play, a.k.a. trick mode, stream
sampling rate among key frames. If specified, the output is a trick play
stream.
