I have a hard drive full of movies, most of which play just fine when the drive is plugged directly into my tv. One set of films, that I've downloaded from one particular vendor, won't play nice, unless I plug the drive into my computer and then plug the computer into the tv. I'm guessing there's a <a href="https://vermont.masto.host/tags/codec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>codec</span></a> incompatibility of some sort. Is this something I can fix? Can I convert the film file into another format that will play nice? Thanks for your help!</p>
Casey Reeves<p>So, I've been recording the audio of my binaural dummy head when I stream into opus format, because it's both good quality and requires much less storage space than typical mp3 (a 8 hours long stream is only 230 MB or so at 64 kbps).</p><p>Liquidsoap which is the software I use does the proper thing, and actually encodes each song, or in this case, each stream of audio in its own stream of opus data, so when I move around and decide to alternate between streaming my phone and streaming the audio from the dummy head, then end with terminating liquidsoap, it goes like this:</p><p>header, metadata, audio data, new stream metadata, audio data, metadata, audio data, end of stream</p><p>It took 6 years for ffmpeg to handle this properly. That is, before, ffmpeg would choke to death when seeing an opus file encoded this way, because it didn't expect it. <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audio</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/codec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>codec</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ogg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ogg</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/opus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opus</span></a></p>
