hlssink2 plugin

Overview

HTTP Live Streaming sink/server. Unlike the old hlssink which took a muxed MPEG-TS stream as input, this element takes elementary audio and video streams as input and handles the muxing internally.

This allows hlssink2 to make better decisions as to when to start a new fragment and also works better with input streams where there isn’t an encoder element upstream that can generate keyframes on demand as needed.

This element only writes fragments and a playlist file into a specified directory, it does not contain an actual HTTP server to serve these files. Just point an external webserver to the directory with the playlist and fragment files.

Example launch line

 gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! x264enc ! h264parse ! hlssink2 max-files=5
