First, thank you for this script. It is very helpful

I'm getting the error below for some video. Is there anything I can do


COMMAND ==> bash /tmp/y-batch/jobs/encode/HLS-Stream-Creator.sh -i /tmp/ca-develop-cdn-private-caseactive/2cd35405-d7ab-48f7-8d28-c5ebab93d2a1.mp4 -s 10 -b  -o /tmp/2cd35405-d7ab-48f7-8d28-c5ebab93d2a1

ffmpeg command found.... continuing

Hi,

You've an error in your syntax (though really we should pick up on that and alert on it rather than continuing and failing)

You've got

HLS-Stream-Creator.sh ... -b  -o /tmp....

The argument -b expects an argument - the bitrate(s) to use. For example

HLS-Stream-Creator.sh ... -b 4096,8192  -o /tmp

To generate 4Mbps and 8Mbps presentations.

If you want to create a stream using the input bitrate, just omit -b entirely
