AAC podcast can be either ADTS (which is AAC but setup for MPEG2 streaming) or MPEG4. ADTS podcast are rare but it is same as http/AAC streams and HLS streams in the simple format and TS2 formats. There are two sorts of MPEG4 (and I don't mean MP4) format - one of which is setup for streaming (i.e. all the indexes etc are up front). Some AAC podcast incorrectly use the non-streaming MPEG4 format which works if podcast is downloaded but not if it streamed - so itis case of incorrectly/ignorently used technology which is giving MPEG4 podcast a bad name. SB player can play ADTS AAC and some types of streamed MPEG4 AAC streams. For transcoding ADTS is safest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
