[FFmpeg-user] Question about creating .m3u8 HLS files

[Muruganandh P.R.]

Hi,

I am breaking my head for the past 1 month to get an answer

When i use this command...

ffmpeg -i fighter.mp4 -hls_time 10 stream.m3u8

It creates the .m3u8 and splits the files and creates various.ts file - Which is HLS 3

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10,
stream0.ts
#EXTINF:5,
stream1.ts
#EXT-X-ENDLIST

All i want is the command to create HLS 4.

The difference between HLS 3 & HLS 4 are

1. The files are not spliced. A single .ts file is created
2. The .m3u8 is not duration based it's byte-range based

something like ....

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:11
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD
#EXTINF:9.9766,    
#EXT-X-BYTERANGE:326744 at 0
main.ts
#EXTINF:9.9766,    
#EXT-X-BYTERANGE:326368 at 326744
main.ts
#EXTINF:10.01,    
#EXT-X-BYTERANGE:327120 at 653112
main.ts
#EXTINF:9.9433,    
#EXT-X-BYTERANGE:326556 at 980232


Anybody help me out please........

Thanks
