This library requires a working Shaka Packager binary. Be that the binary can be located with system PATH to auto get binary file in PHP. You can also give the binary path on load.
There are several ways you can get Shaka Packager.
- Using Docker. Instructions are available at Using Docker.
- Get prebuilt binaries from release.
- Built from source, see Build Instructions for details.
For users who get prebuilt binary: Please rename packager-'OS' to packager and add the path of shaka packager to your system PATH.(e.g. 'packager-win.exe' to 'packager.exe')
Use Composer to install this library from Packagist:
Run the following command from your project directory to add the dependency:
composer require aminyazdanpanah/php-shakaAlternatively, add the dependency directly to your composer.json file:
"require": {
"aminyazdanpanah/php-shaka": "^1.0"
}The best way to learn how to use this library is to review the examples and browse the source code as it is self-documented.
It is highly recommended to read Shaka Packager Documentation.
Shaka PHP auto-detect packager binary. An associative array of config can also be passed to the initialize method to give binary path and timout explicitly:
$config = [
'packager.binaries' => 'path/to/packager/binary',
'timeout' => 3600
];
$shaka = \Shaka\Shaka::initialize($config);There can be multiple streams with input from the same “file” or multiple different “files”.
$stream1 = \Shaka\Options\Streams\Stream::input('/the/path/to/the/file');
$stream2 = \Shaka\Options\Streams\Stream::input('/the/path/to/the/file');
//...you can add options to your streams
$stream1->streamSelector('video')
->output('video.mp4');| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| streamSelector() | NULL | Required field with value ‘audio’, ‘video’, ‘text’ or stream number (zero based). |
| output() | NULL | Required output file path (single file). |
| initSegment() | NULL | initialization segment path (multiple file). |
| segmentTemplate() | NULL | Optional value which specifies the naming pattern for the segment files, and that the stream should be split into multiple files. Its presence should be consistent across streams. |
| bandwidth() | NULL | Optional value which contains a user-specified maximum bit rate for the stream, in bits/sec. If specified, this value is propagated to (HLS) EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH or (DASH) Representation@bandwidth and the |
| language() | NULL | Optional value which contains a user-specified language tag. If specified, this value overrides any language metadata in the input stream. |
| outputFormat() | NULL | Optional value which specifies the format of the output files (MP4 or WebM). If not specified, it will be derived from the file extension of the output file. |
| trickPlayFactor() | 0 | Optional value which specifies the trick play, a.k.a. trick mode, stream sampling rate among key frames. If specified, the output is a trick play stream. |
It can be used to inspect the content of a media file and dump basic stream information:
$export = $shaka->streams($stream)
->mediaFileAnalysis()
->export();The $export is instance of StreamCollection. For more information, please see examples.
It can be used to extract streams, optionally transmuxes the streams from one container format to another container format.
$stream1 = Stream::input('/the/path/to/the/file')
->streamSelector('video')
->output('video.mp4');
$stream2 = Stream::input('/the/path/to/the/file')
->streamSelector('audio')
->output('audio.mp4');
$export = $shaka->streams($stream1, $stream2)
->mediaPackaging()
->export();Please see examples/Basic for details.
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is an adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high quality streaming of media content over HTTP.
Besides Stream Options and DRM Stream Options, you can add DASHRoles() method to your DASHStream object. You can pass roles to the method. The roles can be separated by colon or semi-colon. The value should be one of: caption, subtitle, main, alternate, supplementary, commentary and dub. See DASH (ISO/IEC 23009-1) specification for details.
$stream1 = $stream1 = DASHStream::input('/the/path/to/the/file')
//->other optionsThis library supports DASH content packaging.
$export = $shaka->streams($stream1, $stream2, ...)
->mediaPackaging()
->DASH('output.mpd')
->export();You can add options to your DASH object using a callback method:
$export = $shaka->streams($stream1, $stream2, ...)
->mediaPackaging()
->DASH('output.mpd', function ($options) {
return $options->generateStaticLiveMpd();
//->other options;
})
->export();| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| generateStaticLiveMpd() | FALSE | If enabled, generates static mpd. If segment_template is specified in stream descriptors, shaka-packager generates dynamic mpd by default; if this flag is enabled, shaka-packager generates static mpd instead. Note that if segment_template is not specified, shaka-packager always generates static mpd regardless of the value of this flag. |
| baseUrls() | NULL | Comma separated BaseURLs for the MPD: [,]…. The values will be added as element(s) immediately under the element. |
| minBufferTime() | NULL | Specifies, in seconds, a common duration used in the definition of the MPD Representation data rate. |
| minimumUpdatePeriod() | NULL | Indicates to the player how often to refresh the media presentation description in seconds. This value is used for dynamic MPD only. |
| suggestedPresentationDelay() | NULL | Specifies a delay, in seconds, to be added to the media presentation time. This value is used for dynamic MPD only. |
| timeShiftBufferDepth() | NULL | Guaranteed duration of the time shifting buffer for dynamic media presentations, in seconds. |
| preservedSegmentsOutsideLiveWindow() | NULL | Segments outside the live window (defined by time_shift_buffer_depth above) are automatically removed except for the most recent X segments defined by this parameter. This is needed to accommodate latencies in various stages of content serving pipeline, so that the segments stay accessible as they may still be accessed by the player. The segments are not removed if the value is zero. |
| utcTimings() | NULL | Comma separated UTCTiming schemeIdUri and value pairs for the MPD: <scheme_id_uri>=[,<scheme_id_uri>=]… This value is used for dynamic MPD only. |
| defaultLanguage() | NULL | Any audio/text tracks tagged with this language will have <Role … value=”main” /> in the manifest. This allows the player to choose the correct default language for the content. This applies to both audio and text tracks. The default language for text tracks can be overriden by ‘default_text_language’. |
| defaultTextLanguage() | NULL | Same as above, but this applies to text tracks only, and overrides the default language for text tracks. |
| allowApproximateSegmentTimeline() | NULL | For live profile only. If enabled, segments with close duration (i.e. with difference less than one sample) are considered to have the same duration. This enables MPD generator to generate less SegmentTimeline entries. If all segments are of the same duration except the last one, we will do further optimization to use SegmentTemplate@duration instead and omit SegmentTimeline completely. Ignored if |
Also you can add some Chunking and MP4 output options to your DASH Object(before using these options, please read the Description):

| transportStreamTimestampOffsetMs() | 100ms | Transport stream only (MPEG2-TS, HLS Packed Audio): A positive value, in milliseconds, by which output timestamps are offset to compensate for possible negative timestamps in the input. For example, timestamps from ISO-BMFF after adjusted by EditList could be negative. In transport streams, timestamps are not allowed to be less than zero. |
| segmentDuration() | NULL | Segment duration in seconds. If single_segment is specified, this parameter sets the duration of a subsegment; otherwise, this parameter sets the duration of a segment. Actual segment durations may not be exactly as requested. |
| fragmentDuration() | NULL | Fragment duration in seconds. Should not be larger than the segment duration. Actual fragment durations may not be exactly as requested. |
| segmentSapAligned() | TRUE | Force segments to begin with stream access points. |

HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) is an HTTP-based media streaming communications protocol implemented by Apple Inc. as part of its QuickTime, Safari, OS X, and iOS software. It resembles MPEG-DASH in that it works by breaking the overall stream into a sequence of small HTTP-based file downloads, each download loading one short chunk of an overall potentially unbounded transport stream. As the stream is played, the client may select from a number of different alternate streams containing the same material encoded at a variety of data rates, allowing the streaming session to adapt to the available data rate. At the start of the streaming session, HLS downloads an extended M3U playlist containing the metadata for the various sub-streams which are available.
Besides Stream Options and DRM Stream Options, you can add options below:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HLSName() | NULL | MP4 only: include pssh in the encrypted stream. |
| HLSGroupId() | NULL | For MP4 with DASH live profile only: Indicates whether to generate ‘sidx’ box in media segments. Note that it is reuqired by spec if segment template contains |

| iframePlaylistName() | NULL | Transport stream only (MPEG2-TS, HLS Packed Audio): A positive value, in milliseconds, by which output timestamps are offset to compensate for possible negative timestamps in the input. For example, timestamps from ISO-BMFF after adjusted by EditList could be negative. In transport streams, timestamps are not allowed to be less than zero. |
| HLSCharacteristics() | NULL | Segment duration in seconds. If single_segment is specified, this parameter sets the duration of a subsegment; otherwise, this parameter sets the duration of a segment. Actual segment durations may not be exactly as requested. |

A typical live source is UDP multicast, which is the only live protocol packager supports directly right now.
For other unsupported protocols, you can use FFmpeg to pipe the input. See FFmpeg piping for details.
UDP file is of the form:
udp://<ip>:<port>[?<option>[&<option>]...]
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| buffer_size | UDP maximum receive buffer size in bytes. Note that although it can be set to any value, the actual value is capped by maximum allowed size defined by the underlying operating system. On linux, the maximum size allowed can be retrieved using sysctl net.core.rmem_max and configured using sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=<size_in_bytes>. |
| interface | Multicast group interface address. Only the packets sent to this address are received. Default to “0.0.0.0” if not specified. |
| reuse | Allow or disallow reusing UDP sockets. |
| source | Multicast source ip address. Only the packets sent from this source address are received. Enables Source Specific Multicast (SSM) if set. |
| timeout | UDP timeout in microseconds. |
udp://224.1.2.30:88?interface=10.11.12.13&reuse=1
Please see examples/Live for details.
Shaka Packager supports fetching encryption keys from Widevine Key Server and PlayReady Key Server. Shaka Packager also supports Raw Keys, for which keys are provided to Shaka Packager directly.
Regardless of which key server you are using, you can instruct Shaka Packager to generate other protection systems in additional to the native protection system from the key server. This allows generating multi-DRM contents easily.
Besides Stream Options, you can add options below:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| skipEncryption() | 0 | Optional. If it is set to 1, no encryption of the stream will be made. |
| drmLabel() | NULL | Optional value for custom DRM label, which defines the encryption key applied to the stream. Typically values include AUDIO, SD, HD, UHD1, UHD2. For raw key, it should be a label defined in –keys. If not provided, the DRM label is derived from stream type (video, audio), resolutions, etc. Note that it is case sensitive. |
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| protectionScheme() | NULL | Specify a protection scheme, ‘cenc’ or ‘cbc1’ or pattern-based protection schemes ‘cens’ or ‘cbcs’. |

| signer() | NULL | The name of the signer. |
| aesSigningKey() | NULL | AES signing key in hex string. aesSigningIv() is required if aes_signing_key is specified. This option is exclusive with rsaSigningKeyPath(). |
| aesSigningIv() | NULL | AES signing iv in hex string. |
| rsaSigningKeyPath() | NULL | Path to the file containing PKCS#1 RSA private key for request signing. This option is exclusive with aesSigningKey(). |
| cryptoPeriodDuration() | NULL | Defines how often key rotates. If it is non-zero, key rotation is enabled. |
