⁠docker-dash-encoder

This is a very simple method of generating MPEG-DASH⁠ prepared videos without installing any dependencies thanks to Docker⁠.

⁠Usage with MP4Box

Check put the docker-compose.yaml:

version: '3'
services:
  encoder:
    build: .
    image: docker-dash-encoder
    volumes:
    - './convert.sh:/encoder/convert.sh'
    - './media:/media'
    command: bash ./convert.sh ./in/InMovie.mov

Your file should be in the /media/in folder in order to be accesed by the docker container (./in/InMovie.mov in this example). All files are generated in side the /media/out folder.

By default the video is encoded into 3 qualities (1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360) for more info check ./convert-shaka.sh file.

To run it:

docker-compose up
# or with one single command
docker run -v $(pwd)/media:/media docker-dash-encoder bash ./convert.sh /media/in/InMovie.mp4

⁠Usage with Shaka Packager

Check put the docker-compose.yaml:

version: '3'
services:
  shaka-encoder:
    build: ./shaka-packager
    image: docker-dash-encoder:shaka
    volumes:
    - './shaka-packager/convert-shaka.sh:/encoder/convert-shaka.sh'
    - './media:/media'
    command: bash ./convert-shaka.sh /media/in/InMovie.mp4

Your file should be in the /media/in folder in order to be accesed by the docker container (./in/InMovie.mov in this example). All files are generated in side the /media/out folder.

By default the video is encoded into 3 qualities (1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360) for more info check ./convert.sh file.

To run it:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.shaka.yaml up
# or with one single command
docker run -v $(pwd)/media:/media docker-dash-encoder:shaka bash ./convert-shaka.sh /media/in/InMovie.mp4

⁠Test with local server

Check put the docker-compose.nginx.yaml:

version: '3'
services:
  proxy:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile.nginx
    image: docker-dash-encoder:nginx
    volumes:
    - './static.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf'
    - './media:/media'
    ports:
    - "8000:80"

This will run a static webserver in port 8000 where you can access all files generated. To test if these files actualli work there are some online players like Online Dash Player⁠. There you can put the local url of your manifest, something like http://localhost:8000/out/movie/movie.mpd and check the adaptative streaming.

To run it:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.nginx.yaml up
# or with one single command
docker run -v $(pwd)/media:/media docker-dash-encoder:nginx
