hls output always starts at 1 even so you tell otherwise

[Vlad SD]

Summary of the bug:
One of the params is -start_number 1 for running HLS output like this:
C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -re -i "rtmp://bar/foo.flv" -y -c:v copy -c:a copy -hls_time 6 -hls_list_size 5 -hls_wrap 30 -start_number 1 "C:\Tools\Foo\stream.m3u8"

But if your -start_number 100000

It will still start with 1

This works fine here, if you want to reopen this ticket, please provide the command line that allows to reproduce the problem together with the complete, uncut console output and attach the m3u8 file.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Please also consider to read again the following sentence from the specification:
A media URI is not required to contain its sequence number.

But if your -start_number 100000

Confirm the bug. There is some confusion between URI sequence number (which may be cyclic) and the EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE number specified in the M3U8, which are two distinct entities.

Confirm the bug.

Then please add information on how it can be reproduced.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

As said, -start_number works fine here for hls.

After discussion with Stefano, this is a documentation bug.

[Stefano Sabatini]

Documentation should be clarified since:

commit f6707f0689e025e39f17c1e452f4033743079801
Author: Stefano Sabatini <stefasab@gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Jan 2 00:30:37 2014 +0100

    doc/muxers/hls: extend documentation
    
    In particular, reference segment muxer and clarify difference between
    segment filename number and playlist sequence number.
    
    Should fix trac ticket #2601.
