Hercules C++ Fog App - ABR functionality for Dash

The Hercules Player is an application that allows customers to download videos to their computer or device for offline playback, along with streaming playback of videos for online playback.

The Hercules Fog project has stripped out some key portions of the Hercules Player application into a new test application for downloading videos from a server, modifying the manifest, and then playing back on various mobile and TV devices.

The current implementation is C++ and will run on:

• Windows
  Linux
  Mac

This challenge will update the MPEG Dash support with better ABR (automatic bitrate switching) during recording of live streams.

NOTE:  This is a very technical challenge and will require a fair bit of work in setup and testing.  You will need to use Linux to test the player.  Ubuntu 16.04 is your best bet.

Requirements:

The requirements are captured in these Gitlab tickets:
