PyDash2HLS

PyDash2HLS is a Python library for converting DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) manifest files to HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) format.

Features

• Convert MPD files to HLS format.
• Support for remote and local MPD files.
• Retrieve media URLs for a specific profile.
• Handle DRM (Digital Rights Management) information in MPD files.

Installation

You can install PyDash2HLS using pip:

pip install pydash2hls

Usage

Converter Initialization

To initialize the Converter class, you can use the following methods:

Initialization from a Remote URL

from pydash2hls import Converter

# Initialize Converter from a remote URL
url = "http://example.com/manifest.mpd"
converter = Converter.from_remote(url)

Initialization from a Local File

from pydash2hls import Converter
from pathlib import Path

# Initialize Converter from a local file
file_path = Path("path/to/manifest.mpd")
converter = Converter.from_local(file_path)

Building HLS Manifest

To build an HLS manifest for a specific profile, you can use the build_hls() method:

# Build HLS manifest for a profile
profile_id = "profile1"
hls_manifest = converter.build_hls(profile_id)

Getting Media URLs

To retrieve a list of media URLs for a specific profile, you can use the media_urls() method:

# Get media URLs for a profile
profile_id = "profile1"
media_urls = converter.media_urls(profile_id)

Exceptions

The following exceptions can be raised by PyDash2HLS:

• InvalidPath: Raised when the file path is invalid.
• InvalidFileContent: Raised when the contents of the file are not in DASH format or are incompatible.
• InvalidProfile: Raised when the selected profile is invalid.
• MissingRemoteUrl: Raised when a remote file URL is required but not provided.
