transmux h.264/mp4 to HLS/ts/m3u8 using command line

Postby NewtownGuy » 24 Feb 2018 14:51

What command do I use in CVLC in Linux to convert a h.264/mp4 file into the HLS/ts/m3u8 format ? I just want to remux/transmux the h.264 stream in the input video file, keeping the original resolution, frame rate and quality. I do not want to transcode it since the format remains h.264 throughout. I have a frame rate of 10 fps.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

out of an mp4 video for example.

File content of the expecting results for the MASTER.M38 (planete_interdite_alternate.m3u8):
