alongl / rtmp2hls

A tool to pull rtmp and publish hls stream. (use ffmpeg to convert media). With the help of httplib publish is very easy. At the same time, full controll of subprocess.

rtmp2hls

this program is used to pull rtmp and generate hls (with ffmpeg). now only run in linux.

How to use?

1. get ffmpeg for your platform

you can compile ffmpeg by yourself. refer https://github.com/markus-perl/ffmpeg-build-script
place ffmpeg in bin dir.

2.compile rtmp2hls

cd src
make 

rtmp2hls will be generated in project dir.
It's the same for centos and ubuntu linux.
you can develop with vs2015 use vs/rtmp2hls.sln, but this program can not run sucess in windows.

3.run

./rtmp2hls If ffmpeg process is killed by other process, it will be restarted in 3 seconds.
If rtmp2hls is stoped by pkill, it will also stop ffmpeg process.

4.config

you can modify tasks.csv to add rtmp to hls tasks.
for example: pull rtmp://abc.com/live/my to generate /live/my/hls.m3u8 .the csv is like this:
src is : rtmp://abc.com/live/my
dest is : /live/my
hls adress is: http://localhost:8086/live/my/hls.m3u8

Tips

ffmpeg can pull the rtmp source and generate hls by this command.
more info about this command. visit https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html

I have compiled ffmpeg and placed it in bin dir.
It can be used in centos 7.6 and ubuntu 18.04
The cmd used is like this:

ffmpeg  -f flv -i rtmp://yunyun.com/live/my -vcodec copy -acodec copy \
-f hls -hls_flags delete_segments -segment_list_size 5 -hls_list_size 10 live/playlist.m3u8

-segment_list_size should not too small. when client play the stream, client is easy to read *.ts is not in .m3u8
