M3u8 index file based on screen size and available bandwidth.įFMpeg is a multimedia framework with the ability to encode, decode, transcode, stream, and manipulate multimedia files.
The streams are mapped to the client in real time using an. This means, when video is encoded to HLS, multiple files are created for different bandwidths and different resolutions (Screen sizes). HLS streaming is an adaptive bitrate technology. They are in turn packaged via RTMP protocol and sent to a media server which in turn un-packs the RTMP stream and re-packages it as HLS playlist to be sent to a CDN, cached for faster distribution to Players anywhere. ts files typically contains H.264 encoded video and AAC encoded audio, both compressed by an encoder. HLS was developed by Apple and it stands for “HTTP Live Streaming” which is the most widely used streaming protocol for playback today.
#HOW TO USE FFMPEG TO MAKE TS CHUNKS DOWNLOAD#
