Quick Start

Basic Usage

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming

Working with Different Disks

HLS with Encryption

See AES Encryption Guide for complete documentation.

Dynamic URL Resolvers (HLS & DASH)

Serve encrypted streaming content with S3 signed URLs:

HLS Example:

DASH Example:

Use cases for URL resolvers:

• 🔐 Generate signed URLs for secure content delivery
• 🌐 Integrate with CDN services
• 🏢 Support multi-tenant applications
• 🔄 Implement dynamic key rotation
• 📊 Track media access patterns

See Documentation for more details.

Available Methods

Disk Management

• fromDisk(string $disk) - Set the disk to use

• getDisk() - Get the current disk instance

Media Management

• open($paths) - Open one or more media files
• get() - Get the MediaCollection
• streams() - Get auto-generated Stream objects

Stream Configuration

• addVideoStream(string $input, string $output, array $options = []) - Add video stream
• addAudioStream(string $input, string $output, array $options = []) - Add audio stream
• addTextStream(string $input, string $output, array $options = []) - Add text/caption/subtitle stream
• addStream(array $stream) - Add custom stream

Output Configuration

• withHlsMasterPlaylist(string $path) - Set HLS master playlist output
• withMpdOutput(string $path) - Set DASH manifest output
• withSegmentDuration(int $seconds) - Set segment duration
• withAESEncryption(string $keyFilename = 'key', ?string $protectionScheme = 'cbc1', ?string $label = null) - Enable AES-128 encryption
• withKeyRotationDuration(int $seconds) - Enable key rotation for encryption
• toDisk(string $disk) - Set the target disk for output
• toPath(string $path) - Set the target output path (subdirectory)
• withVisibility(string $visibility) - Set file visibility (e.g., 'public', 'private')

Execution & Utilities

• export() - Execute the packaging operation (returns result object)
• save(?string $path = null) - Save outputs to disk (optionally to a specific path)
• getCommand() - Get the final command string (for debugging)
• dd() - Dump the final command and end the script
• afterSaving(callable $callback) - Register a callback to run after saving

DynamicHLSPlaylist:

• new DynamicHLSPlaylist(?string $disk) - Create HLS playlist processor
• open(string $path) - Open a playlist file
• setKeyUrlResolver(callable $resolver) - Set resolver for encryption key URLs
• setMediaUrlResolver(callable $resolver) - Set resolver for media segment URLs
• setPlaylistUrlResolver(callable $resolver) - Set resolver for sub-playlist URLs
• get() - Get processed playlist content
• all() - Get all processed playlists (master + segments)
• toResponse($request) - Return as HTTP response

DynamicDASHManifest:

• new DynamicDASHManifest(?string $disk) - Create DASH manifest processor
• open(string $path) - Open a manifest file

Acknowledgments

This package was inspired by and learned from:

• Laravel FFmpeg - Architecture patterns and Laravel integration approach.
• quasarstream/shaka-php - Shaka Packager wrapper implementation and command building logic.

Much of the existing logic and design patterns from these excellent packages helped shape this implementation. Many thanks to their authors and contributors!
