transcoding not working with chromecast
Submitted by liam
Link to original bug (#729225)
Description
When using rygel as a MediaServer (with bubbleupnp as controller), I'm able to play media that chromecast accepts natively:
Image formats
BMP
GIF
JPEG
PNG
WEBP
Streaming protocols
MP4
WebM
Video codecs
H.264 High Profile Level 4.1, 4.2 and 5
VP8
Audio decoding
HE-AAC
LC-AAC
CELT/Opus
MP3
Vorbis
However, when it encounters codecs like ac3 it fails replay the sound (video still works fine). The config file for rygel lists a few codecs (mp3;lpcm;mp2ts;wmv;aac;avc) but not the one I need. In particular, it's not clear if those are codecs to target for transcoding, or if those are the options for a codec to get transcoded to.
Also, a question: would it be possible to add a plugin that searchs, and enables, subtitles? If possible I'd be willing to write it but I wasn't sure it was even possible, nor where to start if it were.
