New `api_url` json format #28

Closed jbochi closed 12 years ago

jbochi commented 12 years ago

I am not a fan of our current input json, and was already planning to change it, but it's inevitable now that we want to add support for transcoding (issue #27).

@hltbra and myself sketched a proposal here: https://gist.github.com/3796146

We don't need to add the transcode action support now, but I believe the combine action is more explicit than the needs_index attribute and we avoid the nested bitrates playlists included in the variant playlist, that made the stream discover too complex.
