>You can use hls_ts_options to set the mpegts metadata. I am sorry, but won't this simply copy the metadata to the resulting mgets segments - but if the stream metadata is not updated following the initial copy, wouldn't that be the same (initial) metadata, and not the updated one as it comes in on the input stream?
