 frankwalter | Don't you think it's efficient to try to implement shaka player? | 14:27:20 |
 MrTimscampi | It was already half-done in a PR of mine, I can find it for you | 14:27:57 |
| MrTimscampi | I think only the event binding was left | 14:28:05 |
| MrTimscampi | Things have changed a bit since then, but that'd probably be the easiest route, yeah | 14:28:30 |
| MrTimscampi | This one: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/1209 | 14:29:13 |
| frankwalter | Yes I think I'll do it this way, thanks | 14:30:21 |
| MrTimscampi | You're welcome :) | 14:30:30 |
| MrTimscampi | The code in that PR should get you to playback | 14:30:41 |
| MrTimscampi | But you won't have resuming or a most of the events associated with the player | 14:30:55 |
|  @paz64:matrix.org left the room. | 16:00:55 |
 Blom | Dash support would be amazing 🤩 | 17:11:46 |
 mr.chip53 | Is dash something that would have to be done server side before clients could use it? | 17:14:58 |
| Blom | yeah it would | 17:16:33 |
| mr.chip53 | Yup just looked it up. Looks like it would be taxing on a server to transcode multiple qualities at the same time. | 17:17:45 |
| mr.chip53 | Could maybe help with syncplay if a client has to buffer though | 17:18:12 |
| Blom | it would but we can cheap out and do it like we do HLS | 17:18:41 |
| Blom | (only list one quality) | 17:18:51 |
| mr.chip53 | I dont get it. If you only list one quality, what is the benefit? | 17:20:19 |
| mr.chip53 | I have a p200 so im for it if clients can get better syncplay compatibility with it 😛 | 17:21:23 |
| Blom | I believe one of the benefits is that client seeking actually works. When transcoding to anything other than HLS (and DASH soon) the server restarts the transcode everytime the client seeks | 17:27:56 |
| Blom | Should help it be a little smoother :p | 17:28:03 |
| Blom | Dash also supports more formats than HLS iirc so that's a huge benefit | 17:28:27 |
| mr.chip53 | Does HLS seeking restart the transcode? | 17:50:42 |
| mr.chip53 | Lmao i didnt read what you said right | 18:44:18 |
| mr.chip53 | * Lmao i didnt read what you said right | 18:44:30 |
| mr.chip53 | But if dash could be used to do syncplay and drop people down in quality instead of pausing the group to wait for the buffer that would be cool. Ive only tried syncplay once and results were subpar because buffering would cause desync | 18:46:45 |
 dkanada | I think the main issue with SyncPlay right now is a lack of a strictness setting? can't think of a good term | 19:02:44 |
| dkanada | I tried a stream as well, and it kept buffering because of extremely minute differences in playback position | 19:03:09 |
| mr.chip53 | Yes exact same experience. One would stop or something and try to correct but the other would keep going so the other would correct to an incorrect spot or something like that. It was when it was first released that I tried. Eventually it quit but one was behind by 30-60 seconds | 19:13:02 |
| mr.chip53 | Does HLS seeking happen server or client side? | 23:47:35 |
