Python script for live HLS ingest and remux to dynamic MPEG DASH

[birme]

Created a Python script for ingest of live HLS and remux to fragmented MP4 and associated MPEG DASH live manifest. In addition to Bento4 applications this script has a dependency to ffmpeg and the python libs (pycurl, ffprobe and m3u8)

usage: hls-dash.py [-h] [--remux] [--remux-output <ouput_dir>] [--verbose]
                   [--debug] [--tmpdir <tmp_dir>] [--exec-dir <exec_dir>]
                   [--ffmpeg_exec-dir <exec_dir>]
                   PLAYLIST

Generate an MPEG DASH manifest from a live HLS source including the option to
download and rewrap TS segments to MP4 fragments. Writes MPEG DASH manifest to
stdout

positional arguments:
  PLAYLIST              Path to HLS playlist file. Can be a URI or local file.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --remux               download and remux TS segments to MP4 fragments
  --remux-output <ouput_dir>
                        Where remuxed fragments and MPD will be stored
  --verbose             Be verbose
  --debug               Be extremely verbose
  --tmpdir <tmp_dir>    Where to store all temporary files
  --exec-dir <exec_dir>
                        Where Bento4 applications are found
  --ffmpeg_exec-dir <exec_dir>
                        Where ffmpeg is found

Example (no remux): 
   hls2mp4dash http://example.com/live/event/master.m3u8
Example (remux): 
   hls2mp4dash --remux --remux-output=/media/event --tmpdir=/media/tscache http://example.com/live/event/master.m3u8

Hope it can find its place in the Bento4 tool package
