Description Spies Steven 2009-04-23 14:55:00 UTC

Unfortunately the sparc based readyans does not have enough power to transcode aac using faad in real time.  Because of this some changes need to be made to custom-convert.conf to keep AAC support running on these systems by falling back to use the mp42aac and aac2wav tools provided by netgear.

I suggest adding the following lines:

mp4 wav * *
	# F
	[mp42aac] $FILE$ -stdout | [aac2wav] -wav -stdin -stdout

mp4 flc * *
	[disable-flac]

aac flc * *
	[disable-flac]

We may wish to remove or comment out the following line:

mov wav * *
	# F
	[mp42aac] $FILE$ -stdout | [aac2wav] -wav -stdin -stdout

Sadly I was unable to get aac to wav to work properly. I tried with the following line:

aac wav * *
	# IF
	[aac2wav] -wav -stdin -stdout

The result was that the AAC stream would play but at a very fast speed and than rebuffer than play very fast and so on over and over.  Not sure if that can be fixed so we may not be able to support aac streams on sparc readynas at this time.

Done in change 26209. Please test.

Note 1: I added a space between "[aac2wav]" and "-wav"
Note 2: I have left "mov wav" in place. I do not know if aac2wav can decode genuine ".mov"-format files.
Note 3: The "wav" targets will need to be changed to "pcm" in the SC 7.4 line once this change has been merged.

Steven, please can you test this change with a new 7.3.3 readynas-sparc build?

Looks good to me with Version: 7.3.3 - 26228 on sparc based ReadyNAS Duo.

In 7.3.3 AAC streams do not work. 

When I go to the File Types page all options for Transcoding AAC are greyed out.

Comment 6 Spies Steven 2009-07-16 10:18:57 UTC

Alan, I have no idea how to get AAC streams to play properly on the Sparc based  ReadyNAS with the provided tools mp42aac and aac2wav.  Do you have any ideas?  Please see the first post for more information.
