[FFmpeg-user] How to hls without DTS error

[Hisli Termos]

Hello,
Objective: Hls stream (without transcode) of media files inside a directory
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic
FFmpeg version:
[CODE]ffmpeg version N-92190-gb2adc31 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 7 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04)
configuration: --prefix=/root/ffmpeg_build --pkg-config-flags=--static --extra-cflags=-I/root/ffmpeg_build/include --extra-ldflags=-L/root/ffmpeg_build/lib --extra-libs='-lpthread -lm' --bindir=/root/bin --enable-gpl --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-vaapi --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-nonfree
[/CODE]
Input: Multiple mp4 files with different dar,sar values
Output: Http - HLS
Codecs: Copy (video,audio,data)
Problem: When first video is come to an end, stream stops due to position of I frame etc.
I do not wish to choose transcode commands as it's cpu and time consuming process.
Would you please let me know what you recommend? May I accomplish this in ffmpeg?

Thanks
Ermos

Carl should also add that -hide_banner should not be used.

Hello,
Just to be sure, I have tested two videos with same sar,dar but different resolution. Result is the same.
Here you are:

My Script:
#!/bin/bash
channel=test
cd /home/ermos/public_html/$channel
kill $(cat /home/ermos/public_html/$channel/*.pid)
for file in /home/ermos/public_html/$channel/*.mp4
do name=`echo $i | cut -d'.' -f1`;
echo $name;
ionice -c3 nice -n 20 /root/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel info -hwaccel vdpau \
-re -y \
-i $file \
-threads 0 \
-map 0 \
-movflags +faststart \
-c:v copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -preset:v superfast -bufsize 6M \
-c:a copy \
-strict -2 \
-f ssegment -hls_flags delete_segments -segment_list_size 3 -reset_timestamps 0 \
-segment_list playlist.m3u8 -segment_list_flags +live \
-segment_time 8 -hls_allow_cache 1 "out%05d.ts" &
echo $! > "//home/ermos/public_html/$channel/1_`date +%Y%m%d_%H_%M_%S`.pid"
wait $!;
sleep 10;
mv $file played_files/ ; rm playlist.m3u8
done
exit 0


First video file:
$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i show.mp4
Output:
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'show.mp4':

Second video file:
$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i zdua.mp4
Output:

Metadata:

When I run myscript, even if both files have the same sar,dar but different resolution, I encounter the same problem. Please find attached output. (...as it is a bit long, I did not paste it here)

How to play:
First method: In Vlc, at the end of first video, it stopped.
Second method: In tvheadend system, I added url like (as I did many times for other stream formats regularly):
pipe:///home/ermos/public_html/test/playlist.m3u8
It accepted by the system, at the end of the first video, it stopped playing. When I restart playing, it started the second video. During this time, what I see on tvheadend console was below:
