Not sure why you would want to do it though.

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy -f hls output.m3u8

in fish you can automate (I'm sure there's a bash approach in windows, but I'm not bothered with windows. And I don't want to find out.)

for video in *.mkv;
       ffmpeg -i $video" -c copy -f hls "${video/.mkv).m3u8"
end

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy -hls_list_size 0 -f hls output.m3u8

The code works, but there are 2 srt files in the Mkv that I want, when I use this code, it gives the error that the webvtt is requested. For this, how do I convert srt to webvtt and output as hls? It takes a long time to extract srt and convert webvtt one by one. Can you help me if there is an easy way for this?

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy -hls_list_size 0 -f hls output.m3u8

The code works......

Being the curious sort I ran this code on 2 of my own .mkvs (no subs)


The first was 31 secs in length and produced 5 files >> output.m3u8, output0.ts, output1.ts, output2.ts etc.


The second was 95 mins in length and produced over 390 files >> output.m3u8, output.0.ts.........


In both cases, ALL the files were required since the m3u8 file is simply a text file with a playlist for the others with each .ts file having a runlength of approx. 10 secs. (If I am not mistaken)


Now the issue for me might be the construction of the source files but they do appear to me to be standard. If this is the case then the number of files increases substantially.


Or the code is not quite right.


Or am I missing something vital ? (I am aware that streamed .ts files are typically segmented)
