@table @option
@item -min_seg_duration @var{microseconds}
-Set the segment length in microseconds.
+This is a deprecated option to set the segment length in microseconds, use @var{seg_duration} instead.
+@item -seg_duration @var{duration}
+Set the segment length in seconds (fractional value can be set).
@item -window_size @var{size}
Set the maximum number of segments kept in the manifest.
@item -extra_window_size @var{size}
@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 -streaming @var{streaming}
+Enable (1) or disable (0) chunk streaming mode of output. In chunk streaming
+mode, each frame will be a moof fragment which forms a chunk.
@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.
To map all video (or audio) streams to an AdaptationSet, "v" (or "a") can be used as stream identifier instead of IDs.
When no assignment is defined, this defaults to an AdaptationSet for each stream.
+@item -timeout @var{timeout}
+Set timeout for socket I/O operations. Applicable only for HTTP output.
@end table
@anchor{framecrc}
Set the maximum number of playlist entries. If set to 0 the list file
will contain all the segments. Default value is 5.
+@item hls_delete_threshold @var{size}
+Set the number of unreferenced segments to keep on disk before @code{hls_flags delete_segments}
+deletes them. Increase this to allow continue clients to download segments which
+were recently referenced in the playlist. Default value is 1, meaning segments older than
+@code{hls_list_size+1} will be deleted.
+
@item hls_ts_options @var{options_list}
Set output format options using a :-separated list of key=value
parameters. Values containing @code{:} special characters must be
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 \

+ -hls_segment_filename 'vs%v/file_%03d.ts' vs%v/out.m3u8
+@end example
+This example will produce the playlists segment file sets:

+@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:
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.

+@item cc_stream_map
+Map string which specifies different closed captions groups and their
+attributes. The closed captions stream groups are separated by space.
+Expected string format is like this

+'ccgroup' and 'instreamid' are mandatory attributes. 'language' is an optional
+attribute.
+The closed captions groups configured using this option are mapped to different
+variant streams by providing the same 'ccgroup' name in the
+@code{var_stream_map} string. If @code{var_stream_map} is not set, then the
+first available ccgroup in @code{cc_stream_map} is mapped to the output variant
+stream. The examples for these two use cases are given below.
