GStreamer HTTP Live Streaming Plugin

A GStreamer HLS sink plugin. Based on the "hlssink2" element.

The "hlssink3" is feature-equivalent to the "hlssink2" element. Any pipeline that uses "hlssink2" can use the "hlssink3" element and the result should be the same.

The "hlssink3" element has a playlist-type property used to control the behavior of the HLS playlist file. The available values for this property are:

  • null (default): The tag #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE won't be present in the playlist during the pipeline processing. The playlist will be updated in sync as new segments are available, old segments are removed, keeping N segments as defined in the property playlist-length. This is the default behavior, and is compatible with how "hlssink2" works;
  • "event": The playlist is updated as new segments are available, and the tag #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:EVENT is present during processing. No segments will be removed from the playlist. At the end of the processing, the tag #EXT-X-ENDLIST is added to the playlist;
  • "vod": The playlist behaves like the event option (a live event), but at the end of the processing, the playlist will be set to #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD.
