To minimise transcoding there can be a "hls aac" File Type setting which uses ffmpeg to handle the HLS protocol and pass the resulting audio byte stream straight to a player - this assume an URL has an AAC encoding but a HLS stream can contain MP3 or AC-3 so this is possible future issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
