[FFmpeg-user] Audio Only Dolby Digital Plus

Hi All,

I'm trying to get Ffmpeg to package and generate a valid fMP4 file for HLS of an Audio Only Dolby Digital Plus file. However, the stream that I get is unplayable and has no audio in its sample tables.

Here's an example command:

ffmpeg -i atmosTest.mp4 -codec copy -hls_time 0.993 -hls_segment_type fmp4 -hls_flags single_file -hls_playlist_type vod atmosTestffmpeg.m3u8

However, when I use Apple's tooling to generate a stream, it works correctly:

I tried examining the generated M4S file from FFMPEG, and I noticed that the sample tables in the tkhd atoms are all 0s. Ffmpeg is not able to properly encode the audio into the fragments.
How can I go about debugging this issue and issue a fix to the community?

Thanks,

Ronak
