laravel-ffmpeg VS hlsdl

So I'm trying to troubleshoot why my ffmpeg isn't outputting video and checking error logs - I'm using Laravel FFMPEG library - https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg and you can find the code I'm using here in Laravel for what it's worth for my route - yes everything is installed (e.g. ffmpeg on the server etc.) - https://gist.github.com/HeadStudios/7882c310fef27ef6c09a7b12143fbb25

I opened a ticket on GitHub what else can I do? https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg/issues/446

Edit 2: Font changed - just looking for pink background fix but I've asked on ffmpeg php wrapper here: https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg/issues/445 any input from community much appreciated, thank you

Nice, thank you.. all though slight problem - the issue is I'm using Laravel FFMPEG PHP wrapper so.. it has to be converted in some way... https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg - but yeh I think um... I'll just figure out what the font path is, I'll work it out i'm sure. Thank you once again I really appreciate your help.

So... that works - it basically concats some videos, adds a logo image, draws some text you know the deal - makes everything look good... now I need to do the same thing but in PHP... because I would eventually pass a dynamic value to the middle video and all that jazz... so I found this Laravel FFMPEG library (https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg)... and tried to replicate it... so... I tried this

Into a Laravel FFMPEG wrapper thingie using this library - https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg - not as easy as it sounds... here's what I have so far:

Stuff like this works on my Route when I test and uploads and everything but when I move to Job Queus those weird errors come up - this is for this repository as well: https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg

I have looked at the documentation, and I can only see information about optimising images. If you want to optimise videos, you could try this package https://github.com/protonemedia/laravel-ffmpeg. I have never used it, but it seems to be maintained.

HLSDL worked great for me, but you need to edit the .m3u8 first.

First of all, I used hlsdl which makes the process much simpler. You can use the also ffmpeg, but I'm not sure. The issue is quite simple, the key used to decrypt the ts files is not correct.

I haven't done anything related to this before but you might want to try another tool instead of m3u8DL-CLI, I found this via Google https://github.com/selsta/hlsdl
