Transcoding content into HLS using ffmpeg, mediafilesegmenter and variantplaylistcreator

Assume we have downloaded hls.sh and have a directory abcde that has a video file (.mp4 etc.)

Run script like:

bash hls.sh abcdef source

How it works

It has 3 main parts

1. Transcoding from mp4 to high, low and medium bitrates and appropriate resolutions mp4 files

2. Genrate segments (HLS transport segments) using mediafilesegmenter

3. Generate master m3u8 or playlist using variantplaylistcreator
