Create Default HLS Manifest

post
https://api.bitmovin.com/v1/encoding/manifests/hls/default

A Default Manifest is the easiest way to create a manifest file. Its contents will be configured automatically, depending on what output your encoding creates (muxings, thumbnails, sprites, subtitles, DRM information). If you need more control, create a Custom Manifest resource instead. See documentation page for a comparison
