Kacper Michajłow 0616685b1e avformat/hls: reuse the open connection for contiguous byte-range segments
CMAF and other EXT-X-BYTERANGE playlists address consecutive segments as
contiguous byte ranges of a single resource. Each segment was fetched with
a separate bounded request, paying a request/response round-trip per
segment even though the connection was kept alive.

Keep the AVIOContext open across segments of the same resource and seek to
the next segment instead of reopening, for contiguous ranges the seek
targets the current position and issues no request in practice.

Non-contiguous, encrypted and non-seekable cases fall back to the
previous reopen behaviour.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
