Robin,

This is not for a single video, I have to keep the application ready
that will be receiving different input TS and the app will need to
prepare the playlists,  segments and master playlist.

I am  aware that I need to write script/app for this.

Please tell me the command line to prepare individual playlists and
segments............and I will be able to write the master playlist
myself.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,

ffmpeg can do this, at least some parts. It will create the segments
and a master.m3u8 file for each track by itself. Still you will need
to create master.m3u8 File wich references all the tracks master.m3u8
yourself. My Script is about 3500 lines long, so be prepared that you
have to code lot yourself.

Im currently on the go, but I will try to provide you some more
advice. Are you about to encode a single Video or do you need a full
implemented rapackaging process for many vidz?


Kind regards,

Robin
