Hi,

Can we decrease TS Segment size for Video On Demant HLS packaging?

I have video file around 90mb and first TS file is 70 mb for 10 seconds segment duration. it’s taking long time on first load.

Thank’s for support.

Yes you sure can. In regular HLS, it still uses the .ts segments and while we have it as default of 10 seconds, it’s quite common for customers to go in and change/reduce the segment duration.

Here is the doc for HLS segment settings:

Here is the doc for Dash segment settings should you ever stream over that protocol:
