is there transcoding of video supported out of the box?

[gyan-kukufm]

@LoredCast I want to try out MP4 to HLS(m3u8 and ts) transcoding for some of the video files but i could not find the option on the UI for HLS or Dash transcoding?
Please help me if the option is there or some way to enable it.

Ffmpeg can definitely do this. You just have to add this command manually into the settings.yml file or adjust the ffmpeg command through the Settings UI.

The command template looks roughly like this'

ffmpeg -i {input} \
  -codec: copy \
  -start_number 0 \
  -hls_time 10 \
  -hls_list_size 0 \
  -f hls {output}

With Formats being:

m3u8

for mp4 --> m3u8

So something like:

  ffmpeg_hls:
    name: FFmpeg HLS 
    command_template: ffmpeg -i {input} -codec: copy -start_number 0 -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls {output}
    timeout: 600
    formats:
      m3u8: M3U8 HLS
