Shaka Streamer offers a simple config-file based approach to preparing streaming media. It greatly simplifies the process of using FFmpeg and Shaka Packager for both VOD and live content.

Live documentation can be found at https://shaka-project.github.io/shaka-streamer/ and is generated from the docs/source/ folder, as well as the source code itself.

Sample configs can be found in the config_files/ folder in the repo.
