To enable streaming in HDS format, add the /media=hds/ parameter to the link. The link will return an xml manifest to the .f4m file.
Various options are available::
- /media=hds/ – segment size is 10 seconds, without keyframe alignment
- /media=hds2/ – segment size is 2 seconds, without keyframe alignment
- /media=hds5/ – segment size is 5 seconds, without keyframe alignment
- /media=hdsA/ – average segment size is 10 seconds, keyframe alignment enabled.
The actual segment size will vary, if there are more than ten seconds between keyframes – there may be empty segments.
