Introduction
This package connects Laravel to Google's Shaka Streamer. Shaka Streamer takes a video file and packages it for adaptive streaming — HLS, DASH, or both. This package wraps that tool in a fluent, chainable API that feels like the rest of Laravel.
use Foxws\Streamer\Facades\Streamer;
Streamer::fromDisk('s3')
->open('videos/input.mp4')
->addVideoStream('videos/input.mp4', 'video.mp4')
->addAudioStream('videos/input.mp4', 'audio.mp4')
->withHlsMasterPlaylist('master.m3u8')
->withSegmentDuration(6)
->export()
->toDisk('export')
->save();
