| Input | Output | Supported | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live | HLS | Single Period MPEG-DASH | Yes |
| Live | HLS EXT-CUE | Multi Period MPEG-DASH | Yes |
| VOD | MP4 | Single Period MPEG-DASH | Planned |

Start DASH packager listening on port 3000:
docker run -d -p 3000:80 --restart=always --name packager eyevinntechnology/packager:0.1.2
Verify it is up and running by entering http://localhost:3000/ in your web browser and you would see something like this:
Now configure an encoder to post HLS to:
http://localhost:3000/ingest/event/
If you don't have an encoder you can test the packager with the hls-relay script. First install it:
pip install hlsrelay
Then run it:
hls-relay http://example.com/event/master.m3u8 http://localhost:3000/ingest/event/
And you would then access the HLS here
http://localhost:3000/live/event/master.m3u8
which should be playable in a Safari web browser.
The MPEG DASH stream is found here
http://localhost:3000/live/event.mpd/manifest.mpd
and a multi period MPEG DASH variant is found here
http://localhost:3000/live/event.mpd/multi.mpd
You can also see the available streams in the admin page, in this case on http://localhost:3000/admin/. Default username is "admin" and password is "eyevinntechnology"
To stop the packager you run:
docker stop packager && docker rm -v registry packager
You could also use a Docker compose config:
packager:
restart: always
image: eyevinntechnology/packager:0.1.2
ports:
- 3000:80
volumes:
- /tmp/data:/data
And simply start it by running:
docker-compose up -d
Shut down the packager by running:
docker-compose down
