[Feature request] playback mp4 ISO multiplex files #843

Currently player is really nice, functionality is lovely. It does playback ISO packaged mp4 files, however the functionality of the multiplexed media is not available via player. It would be brilliant if the player was enable to select multiplex features, such as multiplexed audio (various soundtracks), video (various bitrate renditions) and presentation data (including subtitles) from mp4 packages in the ISO media. MP4box does a nice job of preparing ISO media mp4 files and it helps to keep personal library of videos tidy and to package adaptive bitrate mp4 files, unfortunately ISO package functionality is lost to player and it plays the highest rendition of adaptive packaged files. This ability to playback ISO media files and to carry multiplex functionality to player would be a wonderful addition. Thanks again for a great project ;-)

It would indeed be great, but that functionality is bound on the browser implementations. If you want support for multiple audio/video streams you have to annoy mozilla and the google chrome team into implementing it. Streama is only using features provided by the browsers, it doesn't really do anything with the media itself.
