Removing a Media Segment earlier than that can interrupt in-progress playback. The playlist length/duration can change without computation and modification to the -hls_wrap <num> argument. (2) Although not required in the HLS Internet-Draft, it can be useful to have the sequence number in the segment URI for tracking when logging and making modifications to playlists. Thank you for your consideration. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
