RE: BBC R3 Lossless Stream

Actually what is needed is more than just the codec; it is a combination of the ability to use the MPEG-DASH (variable bit rate) streaming technique, plus the variant of FLAC in which the BBC stream is encoded (Cebolla's explanation at post #15 above refers). MinimStreamer doesn't use FFmpeg for any MPEG-DASH processing. It does all the processing for this itself. The only use of FFmpeg is to transcode FLAC to WAV if this is specified in the stream.transcode property. It is possible that different versions of FFmpeg might differ in how well they can handle the unusual mid/side BBC variant of FLAC encoding. |
