MinimStream transcode HLS to what format ? - james - 10-01-2018 06:05
Just confused with the live streaming format, how MinimStream transcode the HLS m3u8 to speaker/player supported format ? I want to known what format of MinimStreamer output exactly? Is this same with vTuner stream format ( http://113fm-edge1.cdnstream.com/1728_128 ) ?
I am a developer want to use the transcode, is any open source alternative of MinimStream? Or icecast / sox /ezstream /ffserver also can do this ?
Thanks.

The output from MinimStreamer's transcoding of an HLS AAC stream is an ADTS AAC stream. The AAC audio data isn't changed, just the way this data is encapsulated in the stream.
The open-source ffmpeg program can do the same thing. For example, the command
ffmpeg -i http://streamurl.m3u8 outfile.aac
transcodes the HLS stream http://streamurl.m3u8 to an ADTS stream in the file outfile.aac.

Thanks very much. The ADTS AAC stream seems not much open source library yet.
