📝 Usage

Basic HLS Conversion

use Juzaweb\HLSConverter\HLSConverter;

$input = storage_path('app/videos/sample.mp4');
$output = storage_path('app/hls/single');

app(HLSConverter::class)->convert($input, $output);

Convert with multiple resolutions

use Juzaweb\HLSConverter\HLSConverter;

$input = storage_path('app/videos/sample.mp4');
$output = storage_path('app/hls/multi');

$resolutions = [
    '360p' => ['w' => 640,  'h' => 360,  'bitrate' => '800k'],
    '480p' => ['w' => 854,  'h' => 480,  'bitrate' => '1200k'],
    '720p' => ['w' => 1280, 'h' => 720,  'bitrate' => '2500k'],
];

app(HLSConverter::class)->convert($input, $output, $resolutions);

This will generate:
