Fragmented MP4 in HLS
Apple has announced during WWDC2016 the support for fragmented MP4 files in HLS:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/504/
We have been adding support in GPAC for fmp4 HLS, both at the client side and at MP4Box side.
You can translate a fmp4 m3u8 manifest into a DASH manifest:
For DASH main profile (using segment lists):
MP4Box -mpd source.m3u8
For DASH live profile (using segment template):
MP4Box -use-template -mpd source.m3u8
Here is GPAC playing the demo fmp4 stream for Apple (https://developer.apple.com/streaming/examples/advanced-stream-fmp4.html)
This is early stage work, feedback is of course welcome !
