Stream HLS (Android) to DLNA clients on LAN

Currently, I want to stream a movie which are TS files in a m3u8 playlist format from my Android smartphone to on-LAN DLNA supported clients (such as my Samsung TV).

I had search but could not find any good starting point.

Any helps would be appreciated!

For android gui you can use DLNA Server or something that can stream playlist contents to DLNA-enabled devices. Basically it perform actions, that can be done by hands:

  1. Download and parse m3u8, then download ts segments (m3u8-dln)
  2. (optional) Transcode chunks to A/V format known to TV. For my Samsung I use ffmpeg -vcodec libx264 -profile:v main -level 3.1 -preset medium -crf 23 -x264-params ref=4 -acodec mp3 -movflags +faststart . Your best settings may differ.
  3. Glue chunks to stream (ffmpeg -f concat -c copy)
  4. Cast result to DLNA enabled TV (dlnanow)
  5. Repeat from 1 - you'll get new m3u8 with next chunks. Do it in a streaming way, not step-by-step. Also you can take a look at Peerflix, it also can play to dlna/chromecast/airplay TVs.

Happy casting!
