PHP HLS Streamer

A minimal PHP streaming backend with FFmpeg and HLS output for iframe-ready playback.

PHP HLS Streamer is a focused backend for preparing and serving video through FFmpeg and HTTP Live Streaming. The project explores the boundary between media processing, storage, and browser playback.

What It Does

  • Processes video into HLS output.
  • Provides playback that can be embedded in another page.
  • Keeps the implementation small enough to study and extend.
