Audio Transcoding: why not AAC

Hi,

In Audio Transcoding profile, we can only transcode in mp3 or lpcm, why other formats are not allowed ?

Ex: Vorbis or even better AAC far more efficient than mp3 for lower bitrate.

With those codec audio transcoding should be more usable notably for mobile usage

regards,
Tom

Since you can use AAC for the target audio when transcoding video, this is a strange limitation. Just curious, have you tried AAC? Perhaps it's been added and the help page wasn't updated.

I reopened the ticket, looks like some progress has been made in ffmpeg to make this possible: https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... ams-to-aac

Edit: hmm, no, it still won't work
