many m4s in django media directory

[kasir-barati]

Hey @aminyazdanpanah

I hope you're doing well, I was just wondered why you did not mentioned that this dash.output generates too much m4s file

which is normal and maybe it is better to use specific directory for each video to keep things more structured and organized. BTW TBH I am worried about inode and what if we wanted to upload many videos. Obviously saving in FS is not a wise and rational decision AFAIK. BTW I guess I should try to use MongoDB GridFS in conjunction DASH.

But I really appreciate your work and I like to connect to you in LinkedIn if possible. Check my GitHub profile and please send me a connection request.

It is how dash works! MPEG-DASH works by breaking the content into a sequence of small segments and m4s files are the small segments. See dash Doc and its wiki for more information. You can separate streams by making a new directory and creating dash files in that directory. for example:

dash.output('/var/media/FIRST-STREAM-/STREAM-NAME.mpd')
dash.output('/var/media/SECOND-STREAM-/STREAM-NAME.mpd')
dash.output('/var/media/THIRD-STREAM-/STREAM-NAME.mpd')
