- <h1>Transcoding</h1>
- <p>
- Transcoding is the process of converting media from one format to another. Subsonic's transcoding engine allows for streaming of
- media that would normally not be streamable, for instance lossless formats. The transcoding is performed on-the-fly and doesn't require any disk usage.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The actual transcoding is done by third-party command line programs which are installed in:
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Windows</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>c:\subsonic\transcode</code><br/>
- <b>Mac</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>/Library/Application Support/Subsonic/transcode</code><br/>
- <b>Linux</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>/var/subsonic/transcode</code>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Note that two transcoders can be chained together. Subsonic comes pre-installed with ffmpeg which supports
- a huge range of audio and video formats.
- </p>
-
- <h2 class="div">Recommended configuration</h2>
- <p>
- The recommended settings for audio transcoding is:
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Step 1</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>ffmpeg -i %s -ab %bk -v 0 -f mp3 -</code><br/>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The recommended settings for video transcoding is:
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>Step 1</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;<code>ffmpeg -ss %o -i %s -async 1 -b %bk -s %wx%h -ar 44100 -ac 2 -v 0 -f flv -vcodec libx264 -preset superfast -threads 0 -</code><br/>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Note that "%s" is substituted with the path of the original file at run-time, and "%b" is substituted with
- the max bitrate of the player. "%t", "%a" and "%l" are substituted with the song's title, artist and album.
- </p>
-
-
- <h2 class="div">Adding custom transcoders</h2>
- <p>
- You can add your own custom transcoder given that it fulfills the following requirements:
- </p>
- <ul class="list">
- <li>It must have a command line interface.</li>
- <li>It must be able to send output to stdout.</li>
- <li>If used in transcoding step 2 it must be able to read input from stdin.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h2 class="div">Troubleshooting</h2>
- <ul class="list">
- <li>Is the transcoder installed in <code>c:\subsonic\transcode</code> (or <code>/var/subsonic/transcode</code>)?</li>
- <li>Is the transcoder activated for your player (in Settings &gt; Players)?</li>
- <li>Is the proper file extension added to the list of recognized file types (in Settings &gt; General)?</li>
- <li>If it still doesn't work, please check the Subsonic log.</li>
