Video to m3u8 Converter (Node.js)

A simple Node.js application that converts any video format to .m3u8 (HLS) format using ffmpeg.

Features

• Upload any video format.
• Uses ffmpeg to convert the video to .m3u8 format.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• ffmpeg

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your_username/repo_name.git cd repo_name

   Replace your_username and repo_name with your GitHub username and repository name, respectively.

2. Install Node.js Dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the Server:

   node server.js

Usage

1. Using Postman:
   • Set the request method to POST.
   • Enter the URL http://localhost:3000/upload.
   • Under the "Body" tab, select "form-data".
   • Use the key video and set the type to "File", then select your video file.
   • Click "Send" to start the conversion.

Considerations

• This is a basic implementation designed for demonstration purposes. It uses multer's memory storage, which may not be suitable for large video files.
• Error handling and file cleanup are minimal. Make sure to delete any temporary files generated during the conversion process if they aren't automatically removed.
