[FFmpeg-user] MPEG DASH with Audio Only Adaptive Streaming

[Ronak]

Hi all,

I'd like to generate an MPEG DASH stream that would include all of the Representations/AdaptationSets inside of my mp4. I've mapped 5 separate audio streams into my input mp4.

However, no matter what I do with the command line arguments, I'm always only getting one Adaptation Set.

This is command I've tried:

a45e60e46a79:input ronakp$ ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -codec copy -f dash -single_file_name output.m4s -seg_duration 9.75238095238095 output.mpd

I've tried other commands like:

ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -codec copy -f dash -single_file_name output.m4s -seg_duration 9.75238095238095 -adaptation_sets "id=0,streams=a" -hls_playlist 1 output.mpd

But it doesn't seem to generate an MPEG DASH stream for all input streams either.

What is the correct command line I should be using for this? If this doesn't work, I'll file an issue to ffmpeg for this, and try to figure out how to fix this.

Thanks,

Ronak
