hi everyone, I am recently undertaking a project about http live streaming. When I read ffmpeg code, I see both hls.c and hls_protocol.c are included in ffmpeg－0.11. It looks like that hls.c implement http live streaming as a demuxer, while hls_protocol.c implement http live streaming as a IO protocol. I have no idea which implementation is better.
Then I see a log in ffmpeg: "Using the hls protocol is discouraged, please try using the hls demuxer instead. The hls demuxer should be more complete and work as well as the protocol implementation. " It seems like that the ffmpeg developers considers hls demuxer as the better implementation. In my point of view, the structure of hls protocol is more clear. I am confused about this. So would anyone explain the advantage of hls demuxer? Is it more powerful or efficient? or just because it is with less bugs and more stability?
