• How to create a Master Playlist for HLS using a Java wrapper library for FFMPEG

  17 January 2019, by Abhishek Nandgaonkar

  I am trying to find/use a Java Library that wraps around FFMPEG to create HLS compatible segments and metadata files along with a master metadata file.

  Most existing libraries perform encoding just fine and allow extra functions for additional audio/video parameters. But I could not find a good way for using them to create a master metadata file and other resolution/bandwidth/bitrate based metadata + segments.

  One way that I am planning to go about it is running the piece of code that performs HLS for me multiple times to suit the different bitrates and then programmatically look at the metadata files to compose the master metadata file. But that adds room for errors.

  If you know of an existing library that can do it for me. Please share the details. It would really help out.

  Libraries:

  • https://github.com/bramp/ffmpeg-cli-wrapper
  • https://github.com/hoary/JavaAV
  • https://github.com/kokorin/Jaffree
  • http://www.xuggle.com/

  Documentation (see Section Master Playlist)

  FFMPEG command line code that works for me

  ffmpeg -loglevel debug -threads 4 -vsync 1 -i 'id.mp4' -vf yadif -g 29.97 -r 29.97 -b:v:0 5250k -c:v libx264 -rc:v vbr_hq -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v main -level 4.1 -rc-lookahead 32 -forced-idr 1 -b:v:1 4200k -c:v libx264 -rc:v vbr_hq -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v main -level 4.1 -rc-lookahead 32 -forced-idr 1 -b:v:1 3150k -c:v libx264 -rc:v vbr_hq -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v main -level 4.1 -rc-lookahead 32 -forced-idr 1 -b:a:0 256k -b:a:0 192k -b:a:0 128k -c:a aac -ar 48000  -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -f hls -var_stream_map "v:0,a:0  v:1,a:1 v:2,a:2" -master_pl_name  master.m3u8 -t 300 -hls_time 10 -hls_init_time 4 -hls_list_size 0 -master_pl_publish_rate 10 -hls_flags delete_segments+discont_start+split_by_time "vs%v_manifest.m3u8"

  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

• wowza + live + ffmpeg + hls player, how to create the playlist.m3u8?

  9 May 2018, by Ziv Barber

  I’m trying to setup a wowza live test server and then I can play hls from my mobile app. It do work without any problem for vod. I can play it in my app. I can also see the .m3p8 file if I enter this uri in the browser.
  I tried to do the same in live mode (my goal is to test some streaming parameters for live streaming). I tried to use ffmpeg to create the live stream:

  ffmpeg -re -i "myInputTestVideo.mp4" -vcodec libx264 -vb 150000 -g 60 -vprofile baseline -level 2.1 -acodec aac -ab 64000 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -strict experimental -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:10000

  I created a "source file" and connected it to the "Incoming Streams".
  I can see in my application’s Monitoring / Network tab that it do getting the data from ffmpeg.

  My problem is how to get the playlist.m3p8 file so I can play it from inside my app (hls based)?

  Again, for now I need a way to test playing with the streaming settings and in real live I’ll have a real live streaming source.
