unarr/internal/engine/hls.go

// Package engine — hls.go implements the HLS streaming pipeline.
//
// Browser ↔ daemon over plain HTTP (LAN / Tailscale / UPnP). The daemon runs
// ffmpeg in `-f hls` mode, writing fragmented MP4 segments to a per-session
// tmpdir. Master + media playlists are pre-rendered from the probed source
// duration so the player knows the full timeline before any segment exists.
//
// One HLSSession == one browser playback. Sessions are registered in a
// process-wide map keyed by session ID; the StreamServer routes
//   GET /hls/<id>/master.m3u8
//   GET /hls/<id>/video/index.m3u8
//   GET /hls/<id>/video/init.mp4
//   GET /hls/<id>/video/seg-<n>.m4s
//   GET /hls/<id>/subs/<lang>.vtt
// to the matching session.

// 2 s before seg-0 lands. For software encodes on 4K this is ~1 s instead
