I've honestly had much better luck using ffmpeg, especially now that it can generate both HLS and DASH manifests for the same encoded content.

Next major release will support a zmq pub-sub source/destination which will make dynamic creation of multiple publishing streams from the same live MPEG-TS source be cake.

Do you have an example command line to do this?

The DASH-IF group just finished a work item with the FFMPEG maintainers to build in all the functionality necessary for low latency DASH streaming. The parameters necessary have been documented in the standing "Low Latency Modes for DASH" CR: https://dashif.org/docs/CR-Low-Latency-Live-r8.pdf

Section 9.X.6.3.6 Example: FFmpeg Configuration will give you a full sample command.

Thanks!

Documentation for dash format output: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#dash-2

There is an argument "hls_playlist" documented there that also generates an hls_playlist in addition to the dash manifest. They use the same segment files.

Thanks!
