Question

How do I generate a m3u8 with adaptive bit rate on linux?

Hi ,

I have generated an adaptive bit rate f4m on an ams 5.03 server on linux using the f4fpackager and need to get this working with an adaptive bitrate m3u8.

I can get any of the individual files to play on an IPad with something like:

/hls-vod/filename_1200.mp4.m3u8

But these all generate single bitrate m3u8 files.

I thought that it might be something like:

/hls-vod/filename_1200.f4v.m3u8

But I haven’t had any success with this – any ideas?

Thanks,

Craig

    Hi Charles - thank you for your response - I need to generate the file programmatically for the workflow that I am programming - is there any way to do this on the fly or is it likely to be easiest to just create the file as a text file and copy it across?

    Thanks
