Transcoding Issues with maximum bitrate settings

Support
21

I found the resolution. When I was configuring this Navidrome server I removed the default transcodes and only left my modified mp3 transcode. My thinking was that sticking with MP3 would improve compatibility, so I removed the others.

This is why when Symfonium requests the transcode to Opus, Navidrome provides the raw format. It was no longer capable of transcoding to Opus and I was unaware that Symfonium is designed to request Opus.

Adding back a transcode command for Opus on the server side solved this issue:
ffmpeg -i %s -ss %t -map 0:a:0 -b:a %bk -v 0 -threads 0 -f opus -

Thank you very much for helping me work through this issue. I’m not sure how long it would have taken me to discover that it was requesting Opus had you not mentioned it. I’ll happily buy the app several times over for myself and my friends.

Hum Navidrome should error in that case and not return the raw files, this is risky for user with limited BW on mobile.

Risky if the Opus transcode does not exist and it still provides the raw format rather than erroring?

If you’d like me to test anything, feel free to let me know. However I am happy with this as a resolution.

This was just a message to Deluan. But in all cases with the new transcoding from OS this would not happen.

Nothing more for you here :slight_smile:

Ah understood. No problem, thank you again for your help!
