Intermediate HLS Destination

Specifying an intermediate destination in addition to a standard packaged destination when creating advanced HLS packages will create a separate file for each specified stream, and alternate source. Files are stored as MPEG transport streams. All features that need transcoding (overlays, burn-in closed captions, etc.) should be specified during the intermediate creation step.

Parameter	Description	Allowed Values	Default Value
intermediate_destination	Specify the destination stream URL for the intermeriate output files.	Valid URL.	None

❗️
When providing an intermediate_destination parameter
URL must contain the complete path including filename. Specifying only the directory path will not work.

Files uploaded to intermediate destination would have the same structure as for adaptive_intermediate output format.
