Additional Notes

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera GX tried Digging into the logs and the produced .ts files, there does not appear to be any audio stream, ffprobe output below:

  Duration: 00:00:05.67, start: 6050.846000, bitrate: 46 kb/s
  Program 1
    Metadata:
      service_name    : Service01
      service_provider: FFmpeg
  Stream #0:0[0x100]: Data: bin_data ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006)
Unsupported codec with id 98314 for input stream 0```
files.txt looks good and i have no clue about the playlist files but they look "right" at first glance

[sharinganthief]

ok, tried a on off that happened to work, investigating the files - working are AAC and broken are Vorbis audio

[sharinganthief]

ok, fixed for my local primary docker instance - Stream.js

get codecsToForceAAC() { return [ 'alac','vorbis' ] } get isAACEncodable() { return ['mp4', 'm4a', 'm4b', 'mka'].includes(this.tracksAudioFileType) }

i could pr but i have some other changes i dont want to get in and im probably in the minority of mka with vorbis users
