HLS to DASH (special mode - take existing HLS feed and repackage as DASH)

Open cannonbeach opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

I've had a couple of requests for this but haven't had a chance to add this mode. This would take an existing HLS feed and then repackage it into a DASH feed. There are two ways this can be done:

  • simple repackage of all ABR streams - 1:1
  • repackage the highest resolution stream and then locally generate the smaller resolutions from that at the edge (which involves some transcoding) these cases can get a bit complicated when ad insertion is involved, so maybe the ad insertion should happen downstream from this (Possibly an option for an oppose mode to this as well - DASH to HLS)
