An M3U8 parser / dumper in PHP.

PHP M3u8

An M3u8 parser / dumper.

Now it fully supports for RFC 8216, and it can support for non standard M3U(8) with little effort.

Installation

Use composer to require it, version 3 above is recommended.

composer require 'chrisyue/php-m3u8:^3'

Quickstart

Setup the demo project and install PHP M3U8 with it:

mkdir demo
cd demo
composer require 'chrisyue/php-m3u8:^3'

Create a PHP script demo.php in project root

touch demo.php

Copy the code below to demo.php:

<?php

use Chrisyue\PhpM3u8\Facade\DumperFacade;
use Chrisyue\PhpM3u8\Facade\ParserFacade;
use Chrisyue\PhpM3u8\Stream\TextStream;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$parser = new ParserFacade();
$dumper = new DumperFacade();

echo '*** Parsing media playlist... ***', PHP_EOL;

$m3u8Content = <<<'M3U8'
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:77949999999
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:15

M3U8;

/**
 * @var ArrayObject
 */
$mediaPlaylist = $parser->parse(new TextStream($m3u8Content));

// Now you can get some data from the playlist easily
/**
 * @var ArrayObject
 */
$firstSegment = $mediaPlaylist['mediaSegments'][0];

// EXTINF tag is a Chrisyue\PhpM3u8\Data\Value\Tag\Inf
// for more information about tag value data type, please check the docs
echo 'The 1st segment\'s duration is ', $firstSegment['EXTINF']->getDuration(), PHP_EOL;
echo 'and the key URI is ', $firstSegment['EXT-X-KEY'][0]['URI'], PHP_EOL;
echo 'The version of this M3U8 is ', $mediaPlaylist['EXT-X-VERSION'], PHP_EOL;

// check what the whole result looks like
var_export($mediaPlaylist);
echo PHP_EOL;

// change some values before dumping
$firstSegment['uri'] = 'http://chrisyue.com/a.ts';
$firstSegment['EXTINF']->setTitle('hi');

echo '*** Dumping media playlist... ***', PHP_EOL;
$text = new TextStream();
$dumper->dump($mediaPlaylist, $text);

echo $text, PHP_EOL;

// MEDIA PLAYLIST DEMO END

// MASTER PLAYLIST DEMO START

echo '*** Parsing master playlist... ***', PHP_EOL;
$m3u8Content = <<<'M3U8'
#EXTM3U

M3U8;

$masterPlaylist = $parser->parse(new TextStream($m3u8Content));

var_export($masterPlaylist);
echo PHP_EOL;

echo '*** Dumping media playlist... ***', PHP_EOL;
$text = new TextStream();
$dumper->dump($masterPlaylist, $text);

echo $text, PHP_EOL;

And run:

php demo.php

As a "Facade" hides too much details, if you take a look of those facade classes, you'll notice that the real parser/dumper will take a "tag definitions" and a "parsing/dumping rules" as it's dependencies. "definitions" and "rules" are actually "configuration". All these "configuration"s are written in PHP. You may want to modify those configuration files to meet your needs. For more information, see

• How to Make A Parsing/Dumping Rule
