Which version of FFMPEG supports HLS v4

Wanted to know which version of FFMPEG library supports Http Live Streaming (HLS) V4.

Specification for this protocol is at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-08

Please clarify.

Solution

  • FFmpeg does not yet support HLS version 4.

    As of 2013-07-29 (commit c44191039944526dd7eb6e536990b555837961f5), libav/ffmpeg have supported version 3 of the protocol. There's not yet a numbered release including this patch.
