How to reduce number of items in index.m3u8 #28

Closed gouravd closed 9 years ago

gouravd commented 9 years ago

I am not able to figure out how to reduce the number of items in index.m3u8 to 3. Currently 5 items are listed and it adds to the lag,

I cannot find the code which creates, updates the index.m3u8. Also, is there a way for the player to start playing from the last .ts file in the m3u8?

When FFmpeg updates the index.m3u8 Kickflip catches the filesystem write and processes the updated manifest in Broadcaster#onManifestUpdated(...). Note the last two lines (three if it's the final segment) of the just-updated index.m3u8 represent the last chunk. You should be able to modify that logic to your liking. If you can do this cleanly via a new API in Broadcaster we'd be happy to merge your work into the SDK!

I don't believe the HLS spec allows specifying a non-first segment for playback to begin with so you're probably limited to manually changing how the index.m3u8 is generated.

Thanks, I will look into in in more detail
