HLS Endless

HLS server that delivers live streams in a loop. It has four audio/video bitrates and one audio-only.

Install HLS-Endless

Starting the application

Stop the application

hls-endless stop

The resources are avaiable:

• Multi bitrate, variant playlist: http://localhost:6060/master.m3u8
• Audio only - 22.050Hz stereo @ 40 kbps
• Bitrate 1 - 400x300 @ 232 kbps
• Bitrate 2 - 640x480 @ 650 kbps
• Bitrate 3 - 640x480 @ 1 Mbps
• Bitrate 4 - 960x720 @ 2 Mbps

Video provided by Apple

The video used is Apple’s 4x3 basic stream example with 4 bitrates. The full video is around 30 minutes long but since I didn’t want the repo to be huge, I only used 3 minutes and 30 seconds of it. This should be fine since the video will loop forever.
