[FFmpeg-user] HLS Streaming - FFMPEG: Program date time of older segment also changing in playlist.m3u8 when re-streaming after discontinuity.

2020-11-11 Thread Suriya Velusamy 
HI,

Following is the ffmpeg command used to stream the data.

ffmpeg -re -f avfoundation

-framerate 30 -i 0

-codec:v h264_videotoolbox -x264-params keyint=120:scenecut=0

-codec:a copy -f hls

-hls_list_size 60

-hls_time 10

-hls_flags delete_segments

-hls_flags +append_list

-hls_flags +discont_start

-hls_flags +program_date_time

-strftime 1

-strftime_mkdir 1

-hls_segment_filename

'%Y%m%dT%H%M%S%z.ts' playlist.m3u8



Following is the playlist.m3u8 content which generated for a few seconds.



#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-VERSION:3

#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10

#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0

#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY

#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY

#EXTINF:10.00,

#EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME:2020-11-09T22:07:53.000+0530

20201109T220803+0530.ts

#EXT-X-ENDLIST



When the re-stream happens(in case of restarting the streaming service),
the program date time of older segments(before #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY) also
get changed like below which is unexpected.



#EXTM3U

#EXT-X-VERSION:3

#EXTINF:5.40,

20201109T221322+0530.ts

#EXT-X-ENDLIST



Why does the program date time of older segments change? Should we add any
arguments explicitly in ffmpeg command to handle this?

Suriya V.

you mean the names of segments are the same, not "program time"... would
make sense to me if the idea was related to kicking the last couple of ts
out from caches (you may need to read src code for understanding why it's
happening)... what if you delete all m3u8 before restart... ?

*Did some digging into the code base and found the below behavior:*

1. The initial_prog_date_time gets set to the current local time
2. The existing playlist (.m3u8) file gets parsed and the segments present
are added to the variant stream
3. The new segment is created and added to the variant stream
4. The existing segments and the new segment are written to the playlist
file.
   The initial_prog_date_time from point 1 is used for calculating
"#EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME" for the segments,
   which results in incorrect "#EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME" values for existing
segments
