JuannyWang/video-segmenter-for-HLS
A simple video segmenter for HLS-- segment videos encoded in MPEG ts(Transport Stream) format
A bare-bones HLS segmenter written in C that splits MPEG-TS streams into fixed-duration chunks and writes the M3U8 playlist. It is a teaching example or a starting point, not something you'd run in production. Last touched in 2013.
Single-file C implementation makes the segmenting logic easy to read and understand without wading through layers of abstraction. Forks significantly outnumber stars, suggesting people actually use it as a base to build from rather than just bookmark it. The minimal scope means there is nothing unnecessary to strip out before adapting it.
Abandoned for over a decade — HLS has moved on (CMAF, fMP4 segments, X-MAP, low-latency HLS) and none of that is here. No error handling worth speaking of: a malformed TS packet or a write failure will silently corrupt output or crash. The NetBeans project files checked into the repo suggest this was written as a school or hobby project and was never hardened. Zero stars and no recent activity mean any bugs you hit, you fix alone.
