Adding audio only transcoding

[Sp3r4z]

Describe the problem to be solved

In the new v6.3 release, it is possible to stream audio only on client side, but not possible to just force, from server/admin side to just have audio only without any video content.

Describe the solution you would like

If we can have an audio only content, forced by server/admin side, it would be a good idea. This can helps to create podcast player. Maybe an URL parameter, to get an embed with only audio content.

Yes, would love this. Would like option of audio files to be automatically presented as audio files at the other end. This would encourage people to set up audio-themed instances to use for podcasts, as podcast RSS compatibility and ActivityPub following is already there.

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand the scope of this issue. @Sp3r4z Can you detail if:

• You want the admin have the ability to disable video transcoding on the platform? (so so only keep the "audio only" resolution)
• You want the viewer to be able to share the video with a custom resolution already set? (and so you would choose the "audio only" resolution

Yes, definitely that's my point.

* You want the viewer to be able to share the video with a custom resolution already set? (and so you would choose the "audio only" resolution

Not exactly what I meant, but I prefer your idea 😃
