@MarcusWichelmann MarcusWichelmann commented Aug 4, 2021

This PR adds an optional --hls_start_time_offset parameter, that, when used, adds EXT-X-START tags to the HLS media playlists.

The EXT-X-START tag allows to specify the location where the player starts playing, either from start (positive value) or from end (negative value).
This is especially useful in case of livestreams where this tag can be used to set the target latency of the playback.

Reference: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8216#section-4.3.5.2

The RFC says, that the EXT-X-START tag could also be added to the master playlist, but my tests have shown that most players only respect it when it's in the media playlists.

Fixes #970

I know this is very old, but we have added it to the list of things we'd like to finish and merge before v3.0.0 is released. I will rebase this and make some modifications before merging.

Now that we have modern C++ and absl flags, we can use std::optional instead of needing numeric_limits::lowest() to indicate an unset flag.
