My agenda is to have a proper platform to transcode .ts input (enigma2 based set-top-Box) to real HLS/smooth streaming with bitrate variations.
If I understand correctly stream is encoded into own bitrate version to http pull like stream_256 / stream_512 / stream_768 and player pulls small e.g. 5 sec chunks of these files at a time. While donwloading the fileschunks, it measures the transfertimes in order to just change the streamfile into better one on the run..
Isn't this the case?
Well, Can VLC do the same and produce e.g. 7 different streamchunks at a time and offer these to desirec location (smb perhaps).. with manifest file?
