heimer 10 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Hi, I recently discovered that the content encoded with AAC LC audio doesn't direct play through Firefox even though it's a very compatible codec. I get No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details. Safari works fine, no errors there. I've attached embyserver and transcoding logs. I'm happy to provide more info if necessary! macOS Catalina 10.15.1 Firefox 71.0 Safari 13.0.3 Edit: safari works embyserver.txt ffmpeg-directstream-50cbbcd8-71f8-4db2-b242-36ce01c09f98_1.txt ffmpeg-directstream-06b86afc-0191-4f8c-8a74-41e30d4cfd2e_1.txt Edited December 14, 2019 by Mannerheim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi there, did you check the stats feature inside the video player to learn why it wasn't direct playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heimer 10 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi there, did you check the stats feature inside the video player to learn why it wasn't direct playing? Not possible as it doesn't play at all. But for you I again enabled audio transcoding for my user to take a screenshot of the stats for nerds on firefox.

Luke 36881 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Well the answer is it tried to direct play but the Firefox video player raised an error with the file. Then we tried to automatically switch to other methods of playing but those had problems too due to the fact that you've restricted transcoding access.

Alright, any ideas why direct playing the file works in Safari? The issue only occurs with Firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36881 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Unfortunately the error codes they give us are very vague. Media decode error is as specific as we get from the browser video player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, this is what I was looking for. I'll report this to mozilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8139 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I would assume you would get this response. As a patent-encumbered format, AAC support is somewhat less predictable. For example, Firefox only supports AAC if support is provided by the operating system or an external library. Due to patent issues, Firefox does not directly support AAC. Instead, Firefox relies upon a platform's native support for AAC. This capability was introduced on each platform in different Firefox releases: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Audio_codecs What does html5test.com show in Firefox?
