01:01 <jafa> does ffmpeg support ingesting hls m3u8+segments from within any archive format files (cpio, tar, zip, etc)?

04:32 <bpmedley> jafa: You can make a wrapper script that allows for ingesting an m3u8 + ts segments. I just did so. I could provide the details, if you're still there. The gist of it is I set the seek byterange to 0, the same filename for every segment. The segments filename is a fifo. I wrote to the fifo with dd. And slept more the duration time after each dd invocation.

04:32 <bpmedley> The wrapper script could extract and translate the archive file as needed.

04:38 <bpmedley> I suppose it's not the duration time the sleep matters. It's the processing time of the segment, I feel.
