HLS Client using FFMPEG

Question

I am a beginner to FFMPEG. Currently building a client application for HLS (Http Live Streaming) using FFMPEG. For this I find some useful functions in /libavformat/hlsproto.c and other hls related files. But not sure what are the APIs which are for clients use and how to access them for a simple HLS client. Any small examples or documents will help a lot for this.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can look at ffplay.c (or avplay.c in the libav project) to see an example player.
