clone this repo: git clone git@github.com:cambackup/m3u8-generator.git

This is made using the draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-08

How to use

Let's say you have some video you want to serve

You will need :

• the path to the media (can be relative depending how you serve it)
• duration

You need to create a list containing one or more dictionaries :

from m3u8_generator import PlaylistGenerator
playlist_entries = [
                        {
                        'name':  "Awesomevideo_001.mp4",
                        'duration' : '10.04',
                        }

        ]

playlist = PlaylistGenarator(playlist_entries).generate()

The idea of this is to use no dependecy and be as fast as possible, here at cambackup.com we generate a lot of playlist, they need to be as fast as it can be. any suggestion please let us know.
