Hello,

after upgrading FFmpeg from 4.0 to 4.1 I noticed that temp files in HLS 
muxed stopped working.
It looks like a regression introduced by 
223d2bde22ce33dcbcb6f17f234b609cb98f1fb6. I've prepared a patch and 
tested it cross-compiling for my project's target platform (ARM, 
Buildroot) and it seems like everything is in order. I ran regression 
tests and nothing seems to be broken.

Please review it and possibly include this patch.

Regards
Adrian Guzowski

Looks like it, though I've fixed some inconsistencies in file checking 
too (i.e you're renaming file A, but checks file B for being able to be 
temp file) + added checking flag for HLS_SINGLE_FILE (it doesn't make 
sense to have HLS_TEMP_FILE | HLS_SINGLE_FILE).

My bad I didn't check pending patches - sorry!

Greetings!

Adrian,
with your variant of patch in case of '-hls_flags +temp_file+single_file' no .tmp logic will be used.
not sure what is better, but all previous versions was doing so.

and also, i'm still sure, that for backward compatibility with all previous versions, index.m3u8 should always be written via .tmp file.

ps:
i noticed this bug such way: i do not use +temp_file, but rely on atomic rename of index.m3u8.

IMO temp_file+single_file should be mutually exclusive - why would you 
want to have temp file when you're using only one file anyway? In this 
mode you would either pool for file changes or just get updated playlist 
with new byte range (and that one should be updated after video file). I 
believe this restriction was already in place anyway, because there 
already were checks for HLS_SINGLE_FILE not being set, before doing 
actual rename, so this was just a simplification of those conditions.

As for playlist file - I'm not sure I follow, I've changed only places 
where temp files were already used, so I don't think I broke something 
in that matter. From repeat+level+trace I believe I saw that playlist 
file actually was using a temp file, so if that's the thing you are 
concerned about, it seems like it's all good.

not me to decide, please ;)
if playlist will always be done via .tmp, we will have a choice.

not you, it was introduced by 223d2bde22ce33dcbcb6f17f234b609cb98f1fb6

Could you clarify what choice you're talking about? And the purpose of 
this choice - frankly you got me lost with this. Regardless, I feel 
we're getting off topic.

Not quite, temp files were already a feature, this commit narrowed 
conditions where they are used. If you're referring to change in 
hls_window about not checking TEMP flag - that is unrelated to current 
state (before commit introducing regression, check was ignoring TEMP 
flag, after commit it does take it into account - probably should be 
discussed with person responsible for original change as to why it was 
changed that way, so that's out of scope of this patch. Issue at hand is 
not using TEMP files at all and that is fixed by this patch.

Evening!

First of all, about playlist writeout:
before 223d2bde22ce33dcbcb6f17f234b609cb98f1fb6 - playlist was always(!) creating via .tmp file.
after 223d2bde22ce33dcbcb6f17f234b609cb98f1fb6 - playlists .tmp logic become dependent on +temp_file flag.

I suggest to return to original logic. 
Non-atomic playlist writeout - is a disaster to just any hls player. This way we will force everyone (except offline VOD) to start using +temp_file. Always! 
Also, if somebody relying on this - they will get broken streams just after upgrade (It seems to me, that it can be a lot).

So, here maintainer should decide how to be.


and about single_file:
if it will be decided to stay with current way (playlist's .tmp logic controlled by +temp_file flag), you are right - temp_file+single_file case become unreal.
if it will be decided to return original behaviour (playlist always via .tmp), someone can choose how to writeout media file (despite i understand temp+single is very-very rare case).

Thanks!

Hey Aleksey,

I'm not sure the best thing to do here is to switch to the original logic. The temp file is only necessary if you are doing LIVE or EVENT streams; it has nothing to do with VOD; where streams are pre-generated. I don't see why you would ever want tmp files there.
Before this commit; ffmpeg used to take more than a week to fragment a 2.2 GB Audio File in VOD mode. With this change; it takes less than 1 minute. Other competing tools take less than 1 minute.

Also, if you want temp files, you should be supplying the temp_file option - the documentation clearly says that: https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#hls-2. If you do not want temp files; then you should leave this option out. If you are forcing folks to always accept the temp file, then why have an option? You should delete the option and do it based on the playlist type.

Ronak

Patch

From 41a7a0d24942ab21338be6a74eec2c7a329d610f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Adrian Guzowski <adrian-007@o2.pl>
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 14:23:48 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] Fix usage of temp_file flag in hls_flags option.

This is a regression introduced by 223d2bde22ce33dcbcb6f17f234b609cb98f1fb6.
It appears that regression was introduced in 4.1, 4.0.x does not share
this behaviour.

Temp files were not created for MPEG-TS segments options - HLS_TEMP_FILE
flag was never set on AVFormatContext, it is however set on HLSContext object.
In order to fix this issue, proper flags field must be checked. In addition,
renaming code was messed up and apparently was working only for MP4 files.
