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.

I'd suggest using nginx with the mpegts plugin to do all the HLS work, which will simplify things quite a bit. Or better yet, use SRT for streaming, which in my experience works far better than HLS. (Much better latency at least.)
