Hope someone could help.
Objective: pipe out (stdout) a m3u8 from Internet to the console
ffmpeg command line I’m using:
ffmpeg -loglevel warning -fflags +igndts -fflags +genpts -i https://stitcher-ipv4.pluto.tv/v2/stitch/embed/hls/channel/5d93b635b43dd1a399b39eeelivestitch/master.m3u8?deviceType=plutotv&deviceMake=plutotv&deviceModel=plutotv&deviceVersion=unknown&appVersion=unknown&deviceLat=0&deviceLon=0&deviceDNT=%7BTARGETOPT%7D&deviceId=%7BPSID%7D&advertisingId=%7BPSID%7D&us_privacy=1YNY&profileLimit=&profileFloor=&profilesFromStream=true&serverSideAds=false -c copy -f mpegts pipe:1
Issue: the stream has multiple video streams that appear one after the other. Typically, when the program ands (video stream 0), the channel logo animation / ads enter (video stream 21) for 30 seconds and then the program is back (video stream 0). The screen gets black during the video stream 21 and gets back when video stream 0 comes back from the source.
What I would like to accomplish: pass everything that comes from the input stream to stdout, regardless of format, streams available, etc. If I open the input URL from the browser, it will load everything correctly (program, channel animation ads, etc.).
ffmpeg logs, right after the program ends:
