How to join m3u8 segments

zapac · #1 10-28-2015, 08:46 PM

Hi I have downloaded a m3u8 stream but it splits to many parts. Read this bellow

'Apple HTTP Live Segmenter. It takes an MPEG-TS stream from a tool like ffmpeg and breaks it up into multiple ts-segments suitable for HTTP Live streaming from devices like iPhones.'

so I need a way to join back all segments

I'm also not an expert on this. But usually, livestreamer can download .m3u8 links.

E.g:
livestreamer "hlsvariant://xxxx.m3u8" best -o test.file.mp4

PS: or do you can post the content of the m3u8 file?

PPS: Do you referring to this: https://developer.apple.com/library/...Streaming.html

flashy gave you the livestreamer code already, you just need to use your brain and enter the URL you just posted. The HTTP Live Streaming technology helps conserve bandwidth and provides reliable streaming to endpoints.

I dont have the exact answer to your question but i have the direct download link for the m3u8 you have posted.

Code:

http://aajtakclouds3.intoday.in/aajt...singleclip.mp4

And its too easy to find this link just see the source of video page and look for '3gp'.

You will get this link:

Code:

http://aajtakclouds3.intoday.in/aajtak/video/102015/3gp/23oct_sbb_singleclip.3gp

remove the blue part '/3gp' and change the extension of file to mp4.
