Clarification needed on Chromecast supported video containers #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
On this page:  https://developers.google.com/cast/supported_media_types

It lists the following "containers" supported by Chromecast:

•Containers: MP4/CENC, WebM, MPEG-DASH, SmoothStreaming

However, MPEG-DASH and SmoothStreaming are not container formats.  They are 
streaming protocols, which allow for multiple containers.

So, for instance, is it possible to send and MPEG-DASH stream of segmented 
MPEG-2 TS (.ts) files (containing AAC audio and AVC video codecs)?

Or does the device only support MPEG-DASH streams of segmented files of WebM or 
MP4/CENC containers?

This should be a StackOverflow question.

Why should it be a stack overflow issue? 

The website is incorrectly listing multiple streaming protocols as container 
formats.

Shouldn't that be corrected as an "issue"?

What about the answer about MPEG2/TS ? IS that supported by Chromecast?
