6 months ago After doing some additional research, I found that HLS may not be natively supported by Firefox. If this is the case, I am unsure if I should make this a feature request or handle it differently. I found some HLS settings about:config. I enabled the options available to no avail.

6 months ago It's not the browser. Ffmpeg is showing an error Output format hls is not available
Did you provide your own Ffmpeg binary path?
HLS is only used if the audio file fails to direct play in the browser. Is this an m4b audiobook? Firefox has a specific issue playing some m4b audio files so it will fallback to transcoding in that case.

6 months ago I have not changed any of the defaults. Here is my /etc/defaults/audiobookshelf. user@server:/etc/default$ cat audiobookshelf METADATA_PATH=/usr/share/audiobookshelf/metadata CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/audiobookshelf/config FFMPEG_PATH=/usr/lib/audiobookshelf-ffmpeg/ffmpeg FFPROBE_PATH=/usr/lib/audiobookshelf-ffmpeg/ffprobe TONE_PATH=/usr/lib/audiobookshelf-ffmpeg/tone PORT=13378 HOST=0.0.0.0
This is an single M4B file. Essentially all of my library is a single M4B file for each book (with very limited exceptions for MP3s). The previous book that did work, via firefox was also an M4b.

6 months ago Is the M4B that is not direct playing in firefox an M4B from Audible?
These old audible M4B audio files don't play in firefox and a new issue gets opened every few weeks about one of those. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/2848#issuecomment-2053779811
However, Abs should still be able to play these bad files by transcoding them. I'm curious about that Output format hls is not available error you are getting.
Can you check if HLS is shown in the list of demuxers for ffmpeg by running:
/usr/lib/audiobookshelf-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -demuxers

6 months ago The M4B is from audible but converted to M4B using OpenAudible. The current book I am having an issue with was released in 2023. The first book series released in 2022 does not have the playback issue. I am happy to provide source files for testing/replication.
HLS is supported, no idea why it claims that when using Firefox vs Edge where it just plays.

6 months ago HLS is supported, no idea why it claims that when using Firefox vs Edge where it just plays.
Edge is a chromium based browser and doesn't have an issue direct playing these specific M4B audiobooks. It is only firefox. Also, HLS is ONLY used when the audio file fails to play directly in the browser, since firefox cannot play them Abs falls back to using HLS.
Good to know this is a recent Audible audiobook because I was under the impression that the poor encodings are from older Audible files.
To re-encode you should only need to run:
/usr/lib/audiobookshelf-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -i /path/to/your/audiofile.m4b -c:a copy output.m4b

6 months ago I believe I found the issue with "Output format is not available" and will try to patch it soon. https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/3029#issuecomment-2143493712
Turns out this is the same issue reported in #3029 so I'm going to merge these 2 issues.
It will still be helpful if you test re-encoding that M4B audio file so we can have more data on this firefox specific issue.
