RFC 8216 specifies: "Supported Packed Audio formats are AAC with ADTS framing [ISO_13818_7]; MP3 [ISO_13818_3]; AC-3 [AC_3]; and Enhanced AC-3 [AC_3]"

It's really not the purpose of this library to add any functionality outside of the specifications.

RFC8216 has been moved to draft-pantos-hls-rfc8216bis. It now allows the addition of FLAC, ALAC, and xHE-AAC in fMP4, which is also DASH compliant. Sample streams are listed below. We can supply ALAC if interested, but it only works in Safari.

HLS fMP4 Audio-Only with emsg id3v2.4 Timed Metadata Reference Streams

There has been much question on how this is to be implemented. This is how you do it.

These streams have been produced with StreamS HLSdirect(tm) Live Encoder.

AAC-LC https://la2.indexcom.com/player/pad/fmp4/hls/128k/program.m3u8

AAC-HEv1 https://la2.indexcom.com/player/pad/fmp4/hls/64k/program.m3u8

xHE-AAC https://la2.indexcom.com/player/pad/fmp4/hls/40k/program.m3u8

This issue should have been resolved by #4772.

Are you able to play your streams in dev https://hlsjs-dev.video-dev.org/demo/ ?

If not please provide a sample stream, and confirm which platform/browser you are running in and whether or not it supports FLAC in MSE.

Closing as there is not additional work required to support FLAC in v1.5.0. If you have an issue, you can comment, but a new issue using the Bug Report Template would be most helpful.

Yes, this is working correctly.

Here is another eval stream, complete with emsg id3v2.4 metadata:

FLAC HLS content seems to still have problems. I made a new ticket #5798
