Where are MAC OSX HTTP Live Streaming Tools

Question

I am trying to install mediastreamvalidator, mediastreamsegmenter, mediafilesegmenter tools for my mac machine version 10.6.8.

Answer 1

Here is a copy make from lastest version of HTTP Live Streaming Tools on ADC.

https://github.com/creeveliu/HTTPLiveStreamingTools

Download: $ git clone https://github.com/creeveliu/HTTPLiveStreamingTools

To install it, you just need to double-click the StreamingTools.pkg and follow the instructions.

Once installed you will have these tools

/usr/local/bin/mediastreamsegmenter /usr/local/bin/mediafilesegmenter /usr/local/bin/mediasubtitlesegmenter /usr/local/bin/variantplaylistcreator /usr/local/bin/mediastreamvalidator /usr/local/bin/hlsreport.py /usr/local/bin/id3taggenerator

Answer 2

As mentioned by Stuart, you must be a member of the iPhone Developer Program in order to access these tools via the http://connect.apple.com link provided in the official documentation. More specifically, you must be a paid member. This fact caused me to lose several hours searching for the tools as I was a member of the iPhone Developer Program, but my annual membership had lapsed and the tools were consequently no longer available to me. What really got me was that the tools were still unavailable within the first few hours of renewing my membership. It took approximately 12 - 24 hours after I paid to renew my membership for them to show up in the list. Hope this helps someone down the road!

They seem to be well-hidden for whatever reason, but after a few wild goose chases, I found them.

You can start at the public-facing streaming page: https://developer.apple.com/streaming/

There is a "Downloads" link along the side. You'll be prompted to sign in to your Developer account, and then finally you get the actual download page here:
