--generate_static_mpd

    If enabled, generates static mpd. If segment_template is specified in
    stream descriptors, shaka-packager generates dynamic mpd by default; if
    this flag is enabled, shaka-packager generates static mpd instead. Note
    that if segment_template is not specified, shaka-packager always generates
    static mpd regardless of the value of this flag.

--mpd_output {file_path}

    MPD output file name.

--base_urls {url}[,{url}]...

    Comma separated BaseURLs for the MPD. The values will be added  as <BaseURL>
    element(s) immediately under the <MPD> element.

--min_buffer_time {seconds}

    Specifies, in seconds, a common duration used in the definition of the MPD
    Representation data rate.

--minimum_update_period {seconds}

    Indicates to the player how often to refresh the media presentation
    description in seconds. This value is used for dynamic MPD only.

--suggested_presentation_delay {seconds}

    Specifies a delay, in seconds, to be added to the media presentation time.
    This value is used for dynamic MPD only.

--time_shift_buffer_depth {seconds}

    Guaranteed duration of the time shifting buffer for dynamic media
    presentations, in seconds.

--utc_timing {scheme_id_uri}={value}[,{scheme_id_uri}={value}]...

    Comma separated UTCTiming schemeIdUri and value pairs for the MPD.
    This value is used for dynamic MPD only.

--default_language {language}

    Any audio/text tracks tagged with this language will have
    <Role ... value=\"main\" /> in the manifest.  This allows the player to
    choose the correct default language for the content.

--allow_approximate_segment_timeline

    For live profile only.

    If enabled, segments with close duration (i.e. with difference less than
    one sample) are considered to have the same duration. This enables
    MPD generator to generate less SegmentTimeline entries. If all segments
    are of the same duration except the last one, we will do further
    optimization to use SegmentTemplate@duration instead and omit
    SegmentTimeline completely.

    Ignored if $Time$ is used in segment template, since $Time$ requires
    accurate Segment Timeline.
