Pull HLS Streams

[irlkitcom]

Is it possible to pull HLS streams?

[bchah]

Out of OME, yes - into OME, no. OME pulls RTSP or MPEG-2 TS.

Now, there may be some way to set this up using Scheduled Channel but it would require you to somehow mux the HLS chunks into flattened files and add them to a Scheduled Channel Program in sequence. But this would be rather complex and unlikely to run with stability.

I could do that, but it's an additional point of failure as well as, I'd like to use UnusedStreamDeletionTimeout to conserve bandwidth. This functionality is available in Nimble, AMS, and Wowza.

What sponsorship tier gets custom features? 😅

[getroot]

To redistribute HLS streams, just a reverse proxy with a cache function will be sufficient. Do you want to pull HLS and record/re-encode/stream it to another protocol?

Sometimes a sponsorship increases the priority of a particular task or registers it as a new task. But that's not guaranteed. And we've been so busy these days that big features like HLS Pull won't be developed quickly even with sponsorship.

I'm wanting to transcode it into multiple qualities.

How can OME pull MPEG-2 TS? In the documentation it seems to imply it can only be pushed?
