pwhodges 1534 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It seems that Windows browsers vary in their handling of Flac audio files (I've not tested Flac audio tracks in video files, nor non-Windows systems): On my system, Firefox can play them and Chrome/Opera/Edge cannot. Emby assumes that they can, and so in each of the non-Firefox browsers I get "no compatible stream" when I try. The end of the attached log should be relevant.

Luke 37134 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hi, yes we've seen this over the years although usually it's Firefox with the errors and not Chrome. But each browser audio player seems to have certain things within flac encodings that it can't handle and we haven't yet added any detection to try and find and handle them.

pwhodges 1534 Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Are the browsers self-sufficient in this, or might this be affected by what codec packs I have installed (I use K-Lite, though my impression is that they all essentially load the same stuff)? Or any other audio software (I have a lot). Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37134 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Chromium based browsers have everything self-contained. I'm not sure about Firefox but probably the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 564 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hi, Flac audio tracks with Edge plays just fine on Win 10 and Win 11 on my devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
