DASH-templated name to used for the media segments. Default is "chunk-stream$RepresentationID$-$Number%05d$.m4s"
@item -utc_timing_url @var{utc_url}
URL of the page that will return the UTC timestamp in ISO format. Example: "https://time.akamai.com/?iso"
+@item -http_user_agent @var{user_agent}
+Override User-Agent field in HTTP header. Applicable only for HTTP output.
+@item -http_persistent @var{http_persistent}
+Use persistent HTTP connections. Applicable only for HTTP output.
+@item -hls_playlist @var{hls_playlist}
+Generate HLS playlist files as well. The master playlist is generated with the filename master.m3u8.
+One media playlist file is generated for each stream with filenames media_0.m3u8, media_1.m3u8, etc.
@item -adaptation_sets @var{adaptation_sets}
Assign streams to AdaptationSets. Syntax is "id=x,streams=a,b,c id=y,streams=d,e" with x and y being the IDs
of the adaptation sets and a,b,c,d and e are the indices of the mapped streams.
files will be relative to the current working directory.
When use_localtime_mkdir is set, the whole expanded value of @var{filename} will be written into the m3u8 segment list.
+When @code{var_stream_map} is set with two or more variant streams, the
+@var{filename} pattern must contain the string "%v", this string specifies
+the position of variant stream index in the generated segment file names.
+@example
+ffmpeg -i in.ts -b:v:0 1000k -b:v:1 256k -b:a:0 64k -b:a:1 32k \
+ -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 0:v -map 0:a -f hls -var_stream_map "v:0,a:0 v:1,a:1" \
+ -hls_segment_filename 'file_%v_%03d.ts' out_%v.m3u8
+@end example
+This example will produce the playlists segment file sets:
+@file{file_0_000.ts}, @file{file_0_001.ts}, @file{file_0_002.ts}, etc. and
+@file{file_1_000.ts}, @file{file_1_001.ts}, @file{file_1_002.ts}, etc.
+
+The string "%v" may be present in the filename or in the last directory name
+containing the file. If the string is present in the directory name, then
+sub-directories are created after expanding the directory name pattern. This
+enables creation of segments corresponding to different variant streams in
+subdirectories.
+@example
+ffmpeg -i in.ts -b:v:0 1000k -b:v:1 256k -b:a:0 64k -b:a:1 32k \
+ -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 0:v -map 0:a -f hls -var_stream_map "v:0,a:0 v:1,a:1" \
+ -hls_segment_filename 'vs%v/file_%03d.ts' vs%v/out.m3u8
+@end example
+This example will produce the playlists segment file sets:
+@file{vs0/file_000.ts}, @file{vs0/file_001.ts}, @file{vs0/file_002.ts}, etc. and
+@file{vs1/file_000.ts}, @file{vs1/file_001.ts}, @file{vs1/file_002.ts}, etc.
@item use_localtime
Use strftime() on @var{filename} to expand the segment filename with localtime.
@item hls_fmp4_init_filename @var{filename}
set filename to the fragment files header file, default filename is @file{init.mp4}.
+When @code{var_stream_map} is set with two or more variant streams, the
+@var{filename} pattern must contain the string "%v", this string specifies
+the position of variant stream index in the generated init file names.
+The string "%v" may be present in the filename or in the last directory name
+containing the file. If the string is present in the directory name, then
+sub-directories are created after expanding the directory name pattern. This
+enables creation of init files corresponding to different variant streams in
+subdirectories.
+
@item hls_flags @var{flags}
Possible values:
detect updates to the encryption info. Be sure to replace this file atomically,
including the file containing the AES encryption key.
+@item independent_segments
+Add the @code{#EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS} to playlists that has video segments
+and when all the segments of that playlist are guaranteed to start with a Key frame.
+
@item split_by_time
Allow segments to start on frames other than keyframes. This improves
behavior on some players when the time between keyframes is inconsistent,
the keys to specify audio, video and subtitle streams respectively.
Allowed values are 0 to 9 (limited just based on practical usage).
+When there are two or more variant streams, the output filename pattern must
+contain the string "%v", this string specifies the position of variant stream
+index in the output media playlist filenames. The string "%v" may be present in
+the filename or in the last directory name containing the file. If the string is
+present in the directory name, then sub-directories are created after expanding
+the directory name pattern. This enables creation of variant streams in
+subdirectories.
