[Question] Is the FFmpeg aac encoder can't be used for streaming? #73

Open Mishasama opened 2 years ago

Mishasama commented 2 years ago

I'm using 7.1 channels for streaming. When I try to use FFmpeg aac for streaming, the web player seems can't load the stream. Only CoreAudio AAC works.

And I notice the FFmpeg aac seems like using VBR as rate control, but not for CoreAudio AAC. Is there possible to use VBR for the CoreAudio AAC? And choose other modes like HE-AAC-v2?

that's odd; i'll check; it could be an issue with the various 7.1 formats (7.1 side, 7.1 back, 7.1 wide side, 7.1 wide back)

And I notice the FFmpeg aac seems like using VBR as rate control, but not for CoreAudio AAC. Is there possible to use VBR for the CoreAudio AAC? And choose other modes like HE-AAC-v2?

he-aac is not available for licensing reasons. As to VBR, no it should be CBR. I'll check all that. No promises though on the timetable for the fixes. No idea if it's easy or not to solve. And first I need to repro.

Try this one. But sorry, that's a streaming platform like Twitch. It can't show you any 7.1 contexts without me online... But maybe you can try to grab the player......

Only LC is free from licensing? Is it mean that can't be VBR for streaming? Or just not recommended for normal use? Because I don't want to waste bits when I have limited bandwidth and traffic. Especially when my music stops. I don't care about the delay.

No problem, just do it when you want. And sorry for can't help with the coding works.
