maximumentropy 34 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Is SHN (shorten) lossless audio compression format supported? I have quite a few music files in this format, and would prefer to not convert all of them to FLAC. I tried playing one in Emby without any luck. FFMPEG apparently supports this format, so I'm hoping it can be added to Emby (if not already supported). Thanks!
Luke 42528 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I've never even heard of that. Is it a new file extension?
maximumentropy 34 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Posted May 18, 2018 No, it's a lossless audio codec similar to FLAC and has been around for years. It's probably not as popular now as it was before FLAC gained traction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorten_(file_format)
Luke 42528 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 So they are shn files? They are already a supported file extension in emby. log from playback?
Solution maximumentropy 34 Posted May 9 Author Solution Posted May 9 This seems to have been fixed some time in the intervening years, as I was able to play some of these old SHN files today. Thanks! 1
