Help with ffmpeg

[davidb]

I am using ffmpeg in my client for IOS. All media for IOS has to sent using HLS. I am creating this using ffmpeg like this:
""c:\SageRemote\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -ss 00:00:00 -i "H:\hdvpr1video\60006_292_1214_1753-0.ts" -profile:v high -level 4.2 -b:v 1500K -preset superfast -c:v libx264 -strict -2 -ac: 2 -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -f hls -hls_list_size 0 -hls_time 10 "c:\SageRemote\EncodedMedia\5055417\5055417.m3u8""

I have been using this format for over 2 years now and it works fine this way. The problem is Apple has a requirement that I must also provide a 192 kbs or lower stream when used over cellular. For my app this is an absurd requirement as you can't provide video at such a low rate. I can do an audio only stream to meet this data rate. I know how to make a audio only stream but don't know how to generate both at the same time. In real use you wouldn't use the app if you can't view video! But I must do it to get it on the app store! I actually have hired two different people on the web site freelancer but haven't got a solution yet. I know ffmpeg can do it I just don't know how to ask it to do it! Anybody used ffmpeg that might know how?

FFmpeg novice here... perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question but is this what you're looking for?

Yes I have seen that and tried to get it to work. I am able to use that to generate an audio only rendition in addition to the video/audio rendition but can't get ffmpeg to generate the master playlist for both streams. I know it can do it though!

In case anyone is lurking and needs the same thing I think I figured it out. I think this does it:
""c:\SageRemote\ffmpeg1\ffmpeg.exe" -ss 00:00:00 -i "H:\hdvpr1video\60006_292_1214_1753-0.ts" -i "H:\hdvpr1video\60006_292_1214_1753-0.ts" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -var_stream_map "v:0,a:0,agroup:audio_video_high a:1,agroup:aud_medium" -profile:v high -level 4.2 -b:v 1500K -preset ultrafast -c:v libx264 -strict -2 -ac: 2 -codec:a aac -b:a 128k -y -fflags +genpts+discardcorrupt -f hls -g 10 -master_pl_name 5055417.m3u8 -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 0 -hls_wrap 10 "c:\SageRemote\EncodedMedia\5055417\5055417%%v.m3u8""
