Hey there.Total Newbie here so please indulge my lack of knowledge.
I wanted to try and download a m3u8 stream and cruising through the posts I found a suggestion from hasomaso that I thought I'd give a try.
ffmpeg -i "put here your .m3u8 url or local .m3u8 file" -c:v copy -c:a copy -f mpegts test.ts
I copied and pasted the url into the code and was pleasantly surprised that after quite a few hours, the file was downloaded to my folder
.
The file itself was MPEG-TS AVC 1088X612 with AAC audio.
This file does not play correctly in WMP but works fine in VLC. The file also has advertisements during playback which I would like to edit out. Unfortunately neither VideoReDo or other methods I've tried seem to be able to handle the file, as there appears to be different aspect ratios from the normal file and the advertisements,causing crashes.
I've watched the file on my tv with Plex and this also caused issues unless I FF through the areas of advertisements. I'm not so worried about this particular file as I managed to watch it, but for future reference can anyone suggest some addition to the code that may produce a more standard file that can be edited.
