o

 

basename_XXXX.ts: 

These will be the bitstream encoded files.  XXXX is an 

increasing count.  For the example above, the encoder will create files named 

live_1.ts

live_2.ts

live_3.ts

live_4.ts

, and so on.  At any 

given point in time, there will be five or six consecutive files in the configured 
directory if the encoder is configured to remove older files. 

 

Segment (sec): 

Number of seconds per segment.  This defines the approximate size (in 

seconds) for the above bitstream encoded files.  The valid range is from 1 to 20 seconds.  
Note that the clients will experience latency approximately equal to the segment size 
times the number of segments.  The recommended value is 10 seconds.  Setting the 
segment size to less than 3 seconds may cause performance issues with the FTP/SFTP 
server (especially Windows servers running FileZilla); the result will be a non-zero count 
of dropped segments. 

 

Number of Segments:

 This defines the number of bitstream segments advertised in the 

playlist.  The minimum number, as per the HLS specification, is 3.  Some set-top boxes 
require 4 segments.  Apple devices (iPads, iPods, etc.) work well with 3 segments. 

 

Extra Server Compatibility:

 Check this box if the encoder has problems renaming files 

in the server.  This is typically required for Windows FTP servers.  Linux-based servers 
do not need this.  ImmediaTV recommends checking this box only if your server requires 
it. 

 

Keep Segments on Server:

  Normally, when a segment falls out of the playlist file, it is 

automatically deleted by the encoder.  If you check this box, the bitstream is left in the 
server. Clients will still start playing from the first segment in the playlist. 

 

Program Name:

 This program name is placed in the playlist file.  Whether or not it is 

shown depends on the client.  This is an optional parameter. 

 
Using the settings above, if the directory 

/var/www/TV

 is published on server 

www.example.com

 as 

http://www.example.com/TV

, the URL for the video will be: 

 

http://www.example.com/TV/live.m3u8 

 
When using the built-in server in the IP360, the options are: 
 

 

 

 

Server Location: 

Select 

Local

 to use the local server in the device itself. 

 

Segment (sec): 

Number of seconds per segment.  This defines the approximate size (in 

seconds) for the above bitstream encoded files.  The valid range is from 1 to 20 seconds.  
Note that the clients will experience latency approximately equal to the segment size
