AdobeHDS is a php script to join HDS fragments into flv file. you can either use manifest switch or use any download manager with batch capabilities to download the fragments. f4f extension is optional.

if you fragments are serially numbered without a base filename (1.f4f, 2.f4f.......99.f4f) then you can run the script without any parameter and it will look for the fragments in current directory and output will be saved as Joined.flv.

However if your fragments are named with base filename (MyVideo-Seg1-Frag1.f4f, MyVideo-Seg1-Frag2.f4f.........MyVideo-Seg1-Frag99.f4f) then you can pass the base filename with fragments parameter to the script and it will look for the fragments starting with this name and output will be saved as MyVideo-Seg1-Frag.flv.

Usage:

php AdobeHDS.php --manifest "your_manifest_url" --delete

1.f4f, 2.f4f.......99.f4f

php AdobeHDS.php

MyVideo-Seg1-Frag1.f4f, MyVideo-Seg1-Frag2.f4f.........MyVideo-Seg1-Frag99.f4f

php AdobeHDS.php MyVideo-Seg1-Frag
