[Libav-user] streaming raw H.264 to HLS

[Evan Odabashian]

Well that is basically what I'm doing already, using the built-in HLS muxer
not manually creating the ts segments and playlist. I'm using the h264
parser because the samples I'm receiving from nvenc are not complete frames
so I'm using the parser to assemble the full frames then give them to the
muxer via av_interleaved_write_frame.

Presumably the HLS muxer (which I believe is the code located in hlsenc.c
right?) knows how to build valid HLS segments so I can only assume I'm
misrepresenting something to it about the frames I'm providing.
