Could it be ALL, except the livestream itself ? Or is the livestream also available via HLS ? If yes, then you’ll have to encode this one as well. This can only be achieved if the source stream is encoded with the same version of the encoder you’re using your self. I can imagine that different encoders could behave slightly different. BTW what is your source ? Is it predictable like DVB-S from the same broadcaster ? From the top of my head BBC broadcast has an I-frame every 12 or 13 frames. Another potential issue could be the delay between the video and audio stream, which would force you to also encode the source stream. Hope it helps. > > On Sat, May 2, 2015 at 2:48 AM, Henk D.
