Convert MPEG.TS stream to HLS (DVB/HDHomeRun) #18

Open nodecentral opened 5 years ago

nodecentral commented 5 years ago

Hi

I’d like to try to convert a live dvb/mpeg,ts stream to a HLS format for playing via Safari on iOS.

How would I do that, currently injecting the DVB/Homerun TV channel’s stream’s url “http://192.168.102.217:5004/auto/v1’ the ‘silence detecting’ node just shows downloading and nothing seems to progress as a payload ?

I’d ideally like the output to be a new url , showing the stream but in the desired converted/transmux’d format.

Check the url. Many streaming urls are actually a script powered web page that controls the stream. The ffmpeg node requires a real stream, which is getting more difficult to find.
