There is a manifest living on the server (index.m3u8) containing data about child manifests (for different video qualities) which in turn contain segment names. Is it possible to provide to ffmpeg (or any other tool) url of index.m3u8, to get all index.m3u8, child manifests and video segments, preserving playlist structure and files as is (that means without recoding, etc.)?

Thank you in advance!

I tried searching for different flags. There is an option to download segments without recoding, but the names and manifests are not preserved. Tried to find a tool to generate manifests from existing segments based on different rules - didn't find any. I think I can always reserve to writing manifests generation from scratch, but would like to avoid it :)

  • No it is not possible. Unless you intend to ignore the downloaded media, you will have to recode the urls inside the manifests as local filenames. – jhnc Dec 23 '22 at 19:02
