Transcode audio only

Hi,

Using the WMS transcoder add-on, i want to set up an encode to ‘stream out’ an audio-only stream. What i did in my trancoding template was the following:

  • Set the tag with the value 'aac:audio’

  • Within the

  • Setted up audio tag to AAC and tag to 64000

    I’m using an edge/origin configuration, where the origin WMS is used as the transcoder. I created a text file (in the edge server) with the ‘.stream’ extension, pointing to the audio-only transcoded stream. It works.

    I have a couple of questions regarding to this scenario:

  • I’m getting A LOT of logs like this one -> TranscoderWorkerVideoEncoder.run[videoEncoderAddFrame][audio]: 4294967295

  • I added the audio-only stream to a smil file this way -> . However, this stream does not appear nor in the manifest nor in the playlist.m3u8
