yangzfan/auto-dash-hls repository overview

auto-dash-hls Automated toolchain for generating DASH/ HLS compatible files from all videos inside a root folder.

Recommended usage via Docker Kitematic & Docker Hub.

Usage Prerequisite: Docker needs to be installed and running.

docker pull majamee/auto-dash-hls docker run -v /absolute/path/to/video/:/video majamee/auto-dash-hls Please just replace in the command above the absolute path to your video file folder and all videos inside (recursive) will be converted to web-optimized DASH/ HLS compatible files (protected against up-scaling). You can also use tags like majamee/auto-dash-hls:edge (e.g. uses alpine's edge version as base).

Folders can not be named output within the transcoding folder as folders named output are skipped to prevent re-encoding already encoded videos.

Features Creates DASH (VOD) compatible files (including Safari on Mac) Creates HLS files for compatibility with Safari on iOS Optimizes video files for web playback (moov atom) Compresses videos using H.264@CRF22 (for best compatibility) Compresses audio using AAC@128k (for DASH as separate track to save data) Creates automatically 3 quality levels (Full HD/ HD/ DVD quality) Fragments video files in 2 second windows to allow dynamic quality switching based on available bandwidth Creates master MPD-Playlist which connects everything (MPEG-DASH) Creates master M3U8-Playlist for HLS Automatically scans the folder recursively for supported video files for transcoding Creates .auto-hls-dash file in provided root directory for file skipping in sub-sequent calls Creates all output files neatly stored in a sub-folder matching the video file name in the folder output next to the transcoded video file Adds also HTML and .htaccess file including code ready for inclusion into the own website for playback next to all other created files Included fallback player (plyr.html) is based on the great work of the guys at Plyr Included second fallback player (fluid-player.html) is based on the great work of the guys at Fluid Player Included player (index.html) is based on the great work of the guys at Video.js
