go-ts-segmenter

This tool enables you to segment (create HLS playable chunks) a live transport stream that is read from stdin or from a TCP socket. It also creates in real time the the HLS manifest (the chunklist). The output can be sent to files in local disk or pushed using HTTP to any webserver you have configured as a live streaming origin.

This segmenter also implements "periscope" LHLS mode. This low latency mode is used in any output type (local files and HTTP).

This code is not designed to be used in any production workflow, it has been created as a learning GoLang exercise.

Examples output to disc

  • Generate simple HLS from a test VOD TS file in ./results/vod:
cat ./fixture/testSmall.ts| bin/go-ts-segmenter -dstPath ./results/vod
  • Generate simple HLS from a test live stream in ./results/live (requires ffmpeg):
ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i smptebars=duration=20:size=320x200:rate=30 -f lavfi -i sine=frequency=1000:duration=20:sample_rate=48000 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -b:v 180k -g 60 -keyint_min 60 -profile:v baseline -preset veryfast -c:a aac -b:a 96k -f mpegts - | bin/go-ts-segmenter -dstPath ./results/live
  • Generate simple HLS from a test live stream with overlay data (frame number + date) in ./results/live (requires ffmpeg):
ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i smptebars=duration=20:size=320x200:rate=30 -f lavfi -i sine=frequency=1000:duration=20:sample_rate=48000 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -b:v 180k -g 60 -keyint_min 60 -profile:v baseline -preset veryfast -c:a aac -b:a 96k -vf "drawtext=fontfile=/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf: text=\'Local time %{localtime\: %Y\/%m\/%d %H.%M.%S} (%{n})\': x=10: y=10: fontsize=16: fontcolor=white: box=1: boxcolor=0x00000099" -f mpegts - | bin/go-ts-segmenter -dstPath ./results/live-overlay

Note: The previous snippet only works on MAC OS, you should probably remove (or modify) the fontfile path if you use another OS.

  • Generate LHLS with 3 advanced chunks from a test live stream in ./results/live (requires ffmpeg):
ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i smptebars=duration=6000:size=320x200:rate=30 -f lavfi -i sine=frequency=1000:duration=6000:sample_rate=48000 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -b:v 180k -g 60 -keyint_min 60 -profile:v baseline -preset veryfast -c:a aac -b:a 96k -f mpegts - | bin/go-ts-segmenter -dstPath ./results/live-lhls -lhls 3

Note: To serve the LHLS data generated by this application you need to use webserver-chunked-growingfiles. The stream will play in any HLS compatible player, but if you really want t see ultra low latency you will need to use a player that takes advantage of chunked transfer.

Examples output to HTTP

  • Generate multirendition LHLS with 3 advanced chunks from a test live stream and broadcast that stream as a chunked transfer (requires ffmpeg and go-chunked-streaming-server).
  1. First start the go-chunked-streaming-server
./go-chunked-streaming-server
  1. Start the multirendition test source multi-rendition-pipe-to-http.sh:
cd scripts
./multi-rendition-pipe-to-http.sh
  1. Play the resulting stream (playback URL: http://localhost:9094/pipe-http/playlist.m3u8) with a player that supports LHLS, or you can also play it with any HLS player such Safari. In both cases you will see a latency reduction. In the case of an LHLS player you will probably see <1s latency, in regular HLS players you will see a latency similar to target duration.

Examples output to S3

  • In this example we will send ONLY the resulting media segments to S3.
  1. Start the following script single-rendition-media-tcp-to-s3.sh:
cd scripts
./single-rendition-media-tcp-to-s3.sh NAME-OF-DEST-BUCKET

Note: By default it will use the default AWS credentials of the current user

  1. You should find the media files in the following place in the specified bucket results/720p_00000.ts

Docker

Pulling image from docker hub

  1. Ensure you have docker installed
  2. Type: docker pull jcenzano/docker-go-ts-segmenter

Creating the docker image locally

  1. Ensure you have docker docker and make installed
  2. Type make build_docker

Testing the docker image

  1. You can test the image with this command (you should see the help):
docker run --rm -it jcenzano/docker-go-ts-segmenter
  1. To segment TS via TCP, using localhost port 2022 as input for TS
docker run -i -t --rm -p 2002:2002 -v ~/Movies/testTsSeg:/tmpdata jcenzano/docker-go-ts-segmenter:latest -inputType 2 -dstPath /tmpdata -chunksBaseFilename source_ -chunklistFilename source.m3u8

On another terminal you can send a test video to the previous docker:

ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i smptebars=duration=20:size=320x200:rate=30 -f lavfi -i sine=frequency=1000:duration=20:sample_rate=48000 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -b:v 180k -g 60 -keyint_min 60 -profile:v baseline -preset veryfast -c:a aac -b:a 96k -f mpegts "tcp://localhost:2002"
