Installation

Install the package

composer require foxws/laravel-shaka

This also installs foxws/laravel-media, which opens the media, runs Shaka Packager and saves the result. Its own settings (temporary files, logging, disks) live in config/media.php.

Publish the config file to change the binary or the timeout:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="shaka-config"

This creates config/shaka.php. See Configuration.

Install Shaka Packager

The package doesn't ship the binary. Download it from the Shaka Packager releases page, for example on Linux:

curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/packager \
    https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager/releases/latest/download/packager-linux-x64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/packager

If the binary isn't on your PATH as packager, set its location:

SHAKA_PACKAGER_BINARY=/opt/shaka/packager

Package with Shaka by default

shaka() always packages with Shaka Packager. To use it for laravel-media's package(), exportAsHLS(), exportAsDASH() and exportAsStreams() too, make it the default driver:

MEDIA_PACKAGER=shaka

Check the setup

php artisan media:info

This lists packager next to ffmpeg and ffprobe, with the path and version it found. php artisan about shows the same paths.

AI agents

The package includes a Laravel Boost skill. Run php artisan boost:install (or boost:update) after installing, and your AI agent learns how to package, encrypt and test with it.
