DashMe

DashMe is a frontend for DASH content generated, if necessary, on the fly from any supported format.

Supported Formats

Any format supported by FFMPEG is supported by DashMe as FFMPEG is used for parsing and demuxing. The only requirement is that the codec used is H264.

We can however cite some format :

• MP4/MOV
• AVI
• MKV
• SmoothStreaming
• DASH
• ...

Installing

Requirements:

• GCCGO installed
• make installed
• gcc installed
• go installed (for cgo)
• FFMPEG (or LibAV) only for libavutil and libavformat
