putHLS

Php script that handles an incoming ffmpeg (:bow:) HLS stream.

Installation

Add this to Apache httpd.conf:

<Directory />
Script PUT /put/puthls.php
</Directory>

Create a directory put in your httdocs directory (root directory of your webserver) and place there puthls.php.

If your server happens to operate on port 8888 you can use the following ffmpeg (:bow:) command to stream using the puthls script:

ffmpeg -y -r 30 -f avfoundation -i "0:0" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 720x380 -start_number 0 -threads 25 -preset ultrafast -async 1 -hls_time 4 -hls_list_size 5 -use_localtime 1 -segment_format mpegts -hls_segment_filename "http://localhost:8888/put/puthls.php?v=video-%s.ts" -f hls -method PUT "http://localhost:8888/put/puthls.php?v=playlist.m3u8"

Create a webpage containing:

<video controls>
    <source src="http://localhost:8888/put/video_put_hls/playlist.m3u8" type="video/mp4">
</video>
