mStream doesn't do any transcoding. Instead I've focused on support for all common file formats. The webapp includes a fallback to Aurora JS if the the browser doesn't support the filetype. Typically this is only needed for FLAC but recently Firefox and Chrome have added FLAC streaming
- stirner 9y agoThanks for the info. The main reason I transcode the streams before transmitting is for size, not compatibility. There are a lot of situations where you really, really don't want to stream a 20 MB FLAC file. Lossy codecs like Opus at 128-192 kbps or MP3 V3/V4 can achieve transparency at a much smaller size, which is vital if you have a slower or metered connection.
- mStreamTeam 9y agoThat's a good use case. People typically ask me about trans coding as a why to stream unsupported file codecs. When I have the time I'll take another look into transcoding
