HLS options
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
--hls_master_playlist_output <file_path>
|
|
|
|
Output path for the master playlist for HLS. This flag must be used to
|
|
output HLS.
|
|
|
|
--hls_base_url <url>
|
|
|
|
The base URL for the Media Playlists and media files listed in the
|
|
playlists. This is the prefix for the files.
|
|
|
|
--hls_key_uri <uri>
|
|
|
|
The key uri for 'identity' and 'com.apple.streamingkeydelivery' (FairPlay)
|
|
key formats. Ignored if the playlist is not encrypted or not using the above
|
|
key formats.
|
|
|
|
--hls_playlist_type <type>
|
|
|
|
VOD, EVENT, or LIVE. This defines the EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE in the HLS
|
|
specification. For hls_playlist_type of LIVE, EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE tag is
|
|
omitted.
|
|
|
|
--time_shift_buffer_depth <seconds>
|
|
|
|
Guaranteed duration of the time shifting buffer for LIVE playlists, in
|
|
seconds.
|
|
|
|
--preserved_segments_outside_live_window <num_segments>
|
|
|
|
Segments outside the live window (defined by `time_shift_buffer_depth`
|
|
above) are automatically removed except for the most recent X segments
|
|
defined by this parameter. This is needed to accommodate latencies in
|
|
various stages of content serving pipeline, so that the segments stay
|
|
accessible as they may still be accessed by the player.
|
|
|
|
The segments are not removed if the value is zero.
|
|
|
|
--default_language <language>
|
|
|
|
The first audio/text rendition in a group tagged with this language will
|
|
have 'DEFAULT' attribute set to 'YES'. This allows the player to choose the
|
|
correct default language for the content.
|
|
|
|
This applies to both audio and text tracks. The default language for text
|
|
tracks can be overriden by 'default_text_language'.
|
|
|
|
--default_text_language <text_language>
|
|
|
|
Same as above, but this applies to text tracks only, and overrides the
|
|
default language for text tracks.
|
|
|
|
--hls_media_sequence_number <unsigned_number>
|
|
|
|
HLS uses the EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag at the start of a live playlist in
|
|
order to specify the first segment sequence number. This is because any
|
|
live playlist have a limited number of segments, and they also keep
|
|
updating with new segments while removing old ones. When a player refreshes
|
|
the playlist, this information is important for keeping track of segments
|
|
positions.
|
|
|
|
When the packager starts, it naturally starts this count from zero. However,
|
|
there are many situations where the packager may be restarted, without this
|
|
meaning starting this value from zero (but continuing a previous sequence).
|
|
The most common situations are problems in the encoder feeding the packager.
|
|
|
|
With those cases in mind, this parameter allows to set the initial
|
|
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE value. This way, it's possible to continue the sequence
|
|
number from previous packager run.
|
|
|
|
