Command line tools for HLS manipulation at origin or edge server
Project description
# Description This package contains useful scripts to manipulate HLS manifests at origin or edge server.
## Preconditions These scripts are based on the assumption that all HLS manifest files and segments are archived at the origin server where these scripts are executed. The archive for a specific live stream contains the history for all HLS manifest updates. For example:
Live HLS stream called ‘foo’ is archived in the directory /archive/foo on the server. It contains all updated HLS manifest files with a unix timestamp when it was last updated.
master800.m3u8-1472977456 master800.m3u8-1472977465 master800.m3u8-1472977475
All video segments are also stored in the same directory.
# Installation From source
git clone https://github.com/Eyevinn/hls-origin-scripts.git cd hls-origin-scripts python setup.py install
From Python Package Index
pip install hlsorigin
# Usage
These scripts are executed by the request handler at the origin webserver. The scripts output the generated manifest file to stdout
## hls-capture Generate a VOD playlist from a LIVE HLS where segments and manifest files are archived at /hlsarchive/stream/. A 20 minutes VOD manifest from 11:45 to 12:05 is created in this case.
hls-capture /hlsarchive/stream/ –mediaplaylist master800.m3u8 –in “2016-09-04 11:45:00” –out “2016-09-04 12:05:00”
By default any cueout periods (e.g. ads) are removed and a discontinuity tag is added in the generated manifest. Available options:
- --help
show help message and exit
- --in TS
YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
- --out TS
YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
- --mediaplaylist PL
name of media playlist
- --noremovecueout
do not remove segments in cue out periods
## hls-startover Generate a new LIVE HLS playlist with a new start position. This is useful when needing a startover functionality but the user should not be able to watch before the startover position.
hls-startover /hlsarchive/stream/ –mediaplaylist master800.m3u8 –startover “2016-09-04 16:25:00”
Available options:
- --help
show help message and exit
- --mediaplaylist PL
name of media playlist
- --startover TS
YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
