Console script to monitor that HLS links are accessible (supports adaptive streaming)

## Install via Composer
```
composer require lezhnev74/hls-monitor
```

## Usage
Package comes with a console file located at `vendor/bin/hls-monitor`. Check that playlist is available and all it's streams are accessible from the Internet (in 10 simultaneous connections)

```
vendor/bin/hls-monitor playlists --log log.txt --concurrency=10 https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8
```

Output will be something like this:

```
#---------------------------------------------------
Executed on node:
Date of execution: 29.11.2016, 10:04 UTC
#---------------------------------------------------

Concurrency level:50
Playlists fetching is over in 0.7s
Streams fetching is over in 0.68s
Chunks fetching is over in 255.22s
```

The console command will return code `0` if no problems found.

## Reporting
At this version library has no reporting capabilities.

You will have to write a wrapper for this tool which will capture all of the failed output and will email it to you or report to somewhere.

Pseudo code looks like this:

```php

$playlists = [...many playlists to check...];
$failed_reports = [];

// for each given playlist - make checking
$output = [];
$return_code = 0;
exec('vendor/bin/hls-monitor playlists '.implode(",",$playlists), $output, $return_code);

if($return_code) {
// there were problems with this palylist
$failed_reports[] = $output;
}


// then report if anything is not good
if(count($failed_reports)) {
// mail reports to somewhere
}

```
