So, I'm trying to build a segmenter for Linux.

There are a few linked in this thread: HTTP Live Streaming, FFMPEG & FFSERVER, and iPhone OS 3

However, the only functional one seems to be for Windows. I've tried following this guide and the svn link: http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/ with no success either. I can't get that segmenter to work either.

Does any know of a good, stable, opensource segmenter. We're hoping to feed our rtmp(via Red5) stream into ffmpeg and crank it out over http, if that matters to anyone. Thanks!

This is not tested

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -c copy -map 0 -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -f segment -segment_time 10 -segment_list test.m3u8 -segment_list_type m3u8 -segment_format mpegts segment%d.ts

Thanks for the link/snippet. I imagine that will do rtmp conversions on the fly? For some reason I'm having major issues compiling that segmenter. – Publiccert Sep 28 '12 at 21:01
This is for vod streaming. Not for live streaming. FFmpeg can support rtmp input but if you need live try real streaming server: wowza or maybe earlyvideo. – RJS Sep 28 '12 at 21:08
Ya, it has to be live. Commercial isn't an option unfortunately. – Publiccert Sep 28 '12 at 21:14
