Hello!
Is it possible with HDS format to get the final movie file size when starting the download.
AFAIU, it should be in the
moov box in the bootstrap. I have checked several videos on moonwalk.cc and apollocdn.cc like sites and there's no
moov box in their bootstraps. Only
abst,
asrt and
afrt boxes.
here's sample bootstrap and metadata tags from the manifest

May be they remove it for some reason? Or am I missing something? Or may be the file size could be read by some other means
It may be useful to add the AdobeHDS.php script ability to stream the video being downloaded to the DLNA renderer device, however it is not possible without knowing the final file size - cause it should be specified in Content-Length header of HTTP response serving the file for DLNA. Of course we could wait till the download is finished before starting DLNA - but it is not a solution, just a compromise.
