NWW 5 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I think this may have been overlooked on the other thread, and is a pretty big improvement in the Web client if I'm understanding this correctly. Per this blog post : https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/05/26/announcing-dolby-audio-for-high-performance-audio-in-microsoft-edge/ Edge supports DD and DD+ (AC3) in HLS streams. This would mean that it'd be the only webclient where transcoding shouldn't (?) be necessary for most media. Please advise and correct me if I'm missreading this. Regards.
Luke 42077 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 it still is limited by the containers that it supports. so for example, are your files mostly mp4? if so then great, this will really help you.
NWW 5 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 You told me the same thing about the Chromecast (it doesn't support natively .mkv's, yet it still doesn't transconde H264/AC3 in .mkv's!). Wouldn't this work the same way?
Luke 42077 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 chromecast can handle mkv by masquerading the response headers to disguise it as something else. that's how we also have mkv support in the chrome browser. but i have not been able to get that to work in edge.
NWW 5 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks that clarifies it! Keep up the good work
