How I learned to stop overcomplicating things and just edit text files
Those of us that are deep in the weeds on Video Stuff™ often forget that HLS starts (ends?) with a bunch of text files. Text files are a lot easier to fiddle with than video files.
This talk is a deep oversimplification from hacking together a list of examples of fun things you can do with pure manifest manipulation before ever touching video bits.
