From 5c7d650827cc471a03e7fa18362bcbcbe5d30838 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: frankdelange Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2019 02:06:19 +0100 Subject: Add audio-only option to transcoders and player This patch adds an audio-only option to PeerTube by means of a new transcoding configuration which creates mp4 files which only contain an audio stream. This new transcoder has a resolution of '0' and is presented in the preferences and in the player resolution menu as 'Audio-only' (localised). When playing such streams the player shows the file thumbnail as background and disables controls autohide. Audio-only files can be shared and streamed just like any other file. They can be downloaded as well, the resulting file will be an mp4 container with a single audio stream. This patch is a proof of concept to show the feasibility of 'true' audio-only support. There are better ways of doing this which also enable multiple audio streams for a given video stream (e.g. DASH) but as this would entail a fundamental change in the way PeerTube works it is a bridge too far for a simple proof of concept. --- server/middlewares/validators/config.ts | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'server/middlewares') diff --git a/server/middlewares/validators/config.ts b/server/middlewares/validators/config.ts index 1db907f91..d86fa700b 100644 --- a/server/middlewares/validators/config.ts +++ b/server/middlewares/validators/config.ts @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ const customConfigUpdateValidator = [ body('transcoding.enabled').isBoolean().withMessage('Should have a valid transcoding enabled boolean'), body('transcoding.allowAdditionalExtensions').isBoolean().withMessage('Should have a valid additional extensions boolean'), body('transcoding.threads').isInt().withMessage('Should have a valid transcoding threads number'), + body('transcoding.resolutions.0p').isBoolean().withMessage('Should have a valid transcoding 0p resolution enabled boolean'), body('transcoding.resolutions.240p').isBoolean().withMessage('Should have a valid transcoding 240p resolution enabled boolean'), body('transcoding.resolutions.360p').isBoolean().withMessage('Should have a valid transcoding 360p resolution enabled boolean'), body('transcoding.resolutions.480p').isBoolean().withMessage('Should have a valid transcoding 480p resolution enabled boolean'), -- cgit v1.2.3
