AC-3 Codec supported or not? README is misleading

[jamesst20]

Hi,

I am not sure if AC-3 codec is supposed to be supported. There are 2 PRs about it:

https://github.com/xqq/mpegts.js/pull/99 https://github.com/xqq/mpegts.js/pull/103

But then the README says

Versus

----------------------------------------------------

From my testing I am getting the same error as this issue: https://github.com/xqq/mpegts.js/issues/115

But looking at the v1.7.3 release:

The support is supposed to be added but then if you take a look at 97 commits to master since this release

You can see support for EAC-3 was added after release but AC-3 before release but then even trying a building the master branch and testing out I am still getting the same error.

Am I missing something?

Here is a video/audio file for testing purposes. Working perfectly in VLC, no audio in mpegts.js

Currently, ac-3 / ec-3 audio are supported by Safari (MacOS) / Edge (Windows), not supported by Chrome. mpegts.js using MediaSource Extension, but this API does not support these codecs by Chrome.

Thanks @monyone for the quick reply.

I can confirm it does work as expected in Safari on Mac OS. Editing the README could save a lot of confusion :)

Is it something that could be supported in other browser in the future or it's very unlikely? Why Edge and Safari? Because they are native to the OS?
