Not playing high bitrate M4A #366

Closed Geksaida closed 2 years ago

Geksaida commented 2 years ago

Some high bitrate FLACs are not played. Most of 700+ kbps wont work but there are files around 900 kbps that are played for some reason.

Sonixd is on Win10 and connected to the Jellyfin server. Other apps work fine with those files.

Tried turning on and off the transcoding option but result is the same.

EDIT: Sorry it was M4A not FLAC

Are the FLAC files that don't work ALAC encoded by any chance? There's currently a limitation of the current player component in that it won't properly play transcoded files.

Sorry, updated it. It was M4A not FLAC.

Is it possible to play ALAC files?

Unfortunately the web player component that Sonixd uses doesn't support transcoding from Jellyfin. I don't have time to redo the implementation on the v.0.x.x version, but the rewrite will (and currently already does) support it.
