[FFmpeg-devel] FFmpeg's HLS muxer's deprecation of the hls_wrap option

[Dennis Mungai]

Hello,

Is there a valid technical reason as to why FFmpeg's HLS muxer dropped the
hls_wrap option?
There are many cases where the hls_wrap option remains critical so as to
preserve the set of output file names without increments. This deprecation
breaks that.

For now, this behavior can be worked around by switching to the segment
muxer and then setting the -segment_wrap option therein, but its' not an
ideal solution.

Kindly review this deprecation, with an appeal to revert the patchwork that
removed the hls_wrap option.

Warm regards,

Dennis.
