Leaving fork network

[dio-az]

Hey everyone!

I want to announce an important update regarding our project. We're officially transitioning from the fork network to operate as a standalone repository. The upstream project has slowed down, while this fork has made significant improvements, allowing us to forge a new path.

This isn't a hard fork; we'll continue to incorporate relevant upstream fixes and features, and hopefully, the upstream will adopt our changes as well.

What’s new?

• Support for DASH role and HLS CHARACTERISTICS.
• Dropped support for HDS and MSS (deprecated formats).
• The documentation has been reviewed and reformatted for clarity and consistency.
• DASH label is now compliant with the specification.
• Customizable HLS #EXT-X-MEDIA attributes: AUTOSELECT, FORCED, and DEFAULT.
• Basic DASH support for multi-stream manifest (e.g., multiple camera angles, multi-language videos, sign-language tracks).
• sequenceId is now used as representation ID for DASH, similar to HLS.
• A fully operation CI pipeline.

Full comparison for all the details.

What’s next?

• Plans for CMAF support, beginning with WebVTT delivery.
• CBCS encryption support for Widevine and PlayReady.

I'm looking forward to your feedback on the latest changes and ideas for future improvements. Feel free to open issues or drop me a message on video-dev Slack.
