You should be able to just demux the HLS MPEG TS segments and mux into fragmented MP4 I think.<div> </div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Rob On Saturday, 19 April 2014, Sebastian Dröge <<a href="mailto:sebastian@centricular.com">sebastian@centricular.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Mo, 2014-04-14 at 09:08 -0700, Edward Cessna wrote: > I've been given the task to transcode and restream HLS to DASH.

You can do all that with the help of GStreamer but you will nonetheless still need to write some code to glue everything together. There is not ready-made solution for this (yet) but all the buildings blocks exist. For receiving and transcoding the HLS stream you can use the standard GStreamer elements, like uridecodebin (for receiving) and the relevant encoders and muxers to generate the MP4 fragments. For creating the DASH manifest and serving it you have a few options, take a like at gst-streaming-server and these bugs here: <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668094" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668094</a> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668091" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668091</a> -- Sebastian Dröge, Centricular Ltd - <a href="http://www.centricular.com" target="_blank">http://www.centricular.com</a> Expertise, Straight from the Source </blockquote></div>
