MistAnalyserHLS

MistAnalyserHLS

This analyser is made to work with HLS playlists. This analyser can handle both files as well as HTTP Urls and can even generate a TS file out of a given playlist to verify stream validity against.

Usage

MistAnalyserHLS [options] [playlistlocation]

Reconstructing a playlist

You can use the MistAnalyserHLS to open a playlist and create a single .TS stream out of it. This works for both playlists available over HTTP as well as local storage. This is especially handy to verify whether any issues during HLS ingest are because of connection problems vs problems in the ingest itself.

Example:

MistAnalyserHLS http://example.com/index.m3u8 -R example.ts
