Encode in HLS and Self-Host Videos

+ **therebel** · 28 de Abril del 2018

Hello,

I did a short video showing how to encode in hls using ffmpeg manually, then self-host your videos to feralhosting, and serve them to your jwplayer 8 (modified).

I fast forwarded the video, to show the basic steps, but you can see the timer on the bottom bar, the whole encode/upload, took less than 30min, for a seson with 19 episodes. (of course for a movie is faster...).

the tools used are all FREE (ffmpeg for encode, winscp for upload/manage files).

Feel free to ask question, im always open to help out (within limitis).

heres the link of the video, i hope you enjoy!

yes of course, you just need to install ffmpeg properly (search google for installation instruction about your server OS).

rebuilt my whole site today then saw about this hehe..

its now pure nginx using easyengine to install wordpress and niginx

ive encoded some to hls siren being one and freed hehe take a looksee @therebel https://tv-s.xyz/

the encode was done on server with the

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c copy -map 0 -hls_time 3 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls out.m3u8

think i have it right ..

+ **joez87m** · 29 de Abril del 2018

question thou can this be done to mkv files or do they have to be convert to mp4 first then to hls ?

+ **therebel** · 29 de Abril del 2018

WINDOWS

FOR /F "tokens=*" %G IN ('dir /b *.mp4') DO ffmpeg -i "%G" -c copy -map 0 -hls_time 3 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls "%~nG.m3u8"

FOR /F "tokens=*" %G IN ('dir /b *.mkv') DO ffmpeg -i "%G" -c copy -map 0 -hls_time 3 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls "%~nG.m3u8"
  
LINUX
  
for i in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c copy -map 0 -hls_time 3 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls "${i%.*}.m3u8"; done

for i in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c copy -map 0 -hls_time 3 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls "${i%.*}.m3u8"; done

You can do MKV too, but I always do prefer to encode to mp4, then split. MKV have strange mappings that sometime happened it went without audio or video was flickering after the split.

Also, I would suggest you to use 720p copies, as they are half in size compared to 1080p, and very watchable, so you could optimize the storage space better. Also, remember that, the commands to split in HLS arent perfect, they do their job, but its up to you to fine tuning yours. for example, for a 720p source, hls_time 3 , seems a good compromise, I would suggest you to test with both 2 and 4 and see whats better for you, meaning, smaller chunks, more often connections to the server, but better flow in video loading; doing hls_time 4 or 5 means bigger chunks, less connections to the server, but the users needs to have good connection.

test it!

+ **joez87m** · 29 de Abril del 2018

the encode i get are 720 for movies the tv are just standard mp4's rips by ion10 lol

oh and the one up at mo are hosted on the same as the wordpress im bringing on a file server later today so new stuff will be feed from thier so they was test to see how to encode hehe

Not a facebook fan, cant help, sorry.

Do you offer the service to install everything and work as your 
website does with the videos or can everything be found for free?

I'm null in programming

Hi,

FFMpeg is free.

in a post above, you can find the commands to split the mp4 files to hls.

all you need to do is having a good/fast storage to serve the .ts files.

(I would charge a small fee for the full install, if you have already the storage and the windows server).

cheers.

+ **juni00rr** · 14 de Enero del 2021

It worked great! I have a little problem with my nginx but it was just cors.

I used this code

ffmpeg -i 03.mp4 -codec: copy -start_number 0 -hls_time 6 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls 03/stream.m3u8

if you are okay with using Powershell this will take any media file in the directory and convert it to HLS and generate index file. YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAN UP THE INDEX but other than that fully automated which is nice if you Copy/paste into Notepad++ you can see which script is active and which isnt.

I'm looking for a server to upload adult videos. do you know any good ones? feralhosting doesn't have a problem with streaming?
