About

M3U8 segmenter is an Apple HTTP Live Segmenter. It takes an MPEG-TS stream from a tool like ffmpeg and breaks it up into multiple ts-segments suitable for HTTP Live streaming from devices like iPhones. It also creates the M3U8 stream descriptor which is required for this type of stream.

Install

On Ubuntu/Debian

apt-get install m3u8-segmenter
