Introduction
This package runs Shaka Packager from Laravel. It turns video and audio files into HLS and DASH streams.
It's an add-on for foxws/laravel-media: it adds a shaka driver to laravel-media's packaging builder. You open media with laravel-media, and shaka() packages it:
use Foxws\Media\Facades\Media;
Media::fromDisk('media')
->open('videos/clip.mp4')
->shaka()
->addStreamsFrom()
->withHlsPlaylist()
->withDashManifest()
->toDisk('s3')
->save('streams/clip');
What it does, and what it doesn't
Shaka Packager packages. It cuts already-encoded video into segments and writes the playlists that players read. It does not re-encode, so it's fast, and the output is about the same size as the input.
To get several qualities, encode them first with laravel-media's rendition ladder, then add each file as a stream.
laravel-media's own native packager needs only FFmpeg. Use Shaka Packager when you need what the native packager doesn't do: cbcs encryption for Safari, key rotation, a clear lead, Widevine and PlayReady, live and low-latency DASH, or several audio streams.
Features
- Every packaging feature of laravel-media: any Laravel disk for input and output, DASH and HLS from the same segments, AES encryption with a generated key, signed playlists with
DynamicHLSPlaylist and DynamicDASHManifest, concurrent S3 uploads, events and temporary file cleanup.
- Shaka Packager's own options as typed methods with
ShakaOptions: DRM systems, Widevine and PlayReady key servers, live DASH, base URLs and segment numbering.
Media::fake() in tests, with FakeShaka writing placeholder outputs.
