Subsonic going the absolute WRONG direction, Native VP9/Opu

[jayw654]

Where's the Native (meaning I can turn off transcoder and let the web browser do the playback work) support for VP9 (unlimited bitrate to be determined by the encoded video) and Opus support @ 510kbps? Sindres why the hell are you trying to reinvent the wheel? I see your attempt at better video and 3mbps is simply horrible it kills my eyes. Audio playback is still a 1980's MP3 so even though your updating to HTML5 its still a 1980's audio and 1990's video turd. Firefox, Chrome, Opera and this summer even Microsoft Edge will support both VP9 and Opus natively within the browser which means means all you got to do is change the look and alter a little scripting for each browser. The benefit is that is runs cleaner with much better audio and video. Opus is support by the Samsung Note 5, S5,S6 LG G4 and many others and if other still want MP3 its still natively supported with HTML5. I really don't see the need for the transcoder anymore because once the file is transcoded to correct bitrate and format, which is the best method to control quality and filesize for streaming, the transcoder really isn't a need. Transcoder only causes unneeded processor load and only limits the amount of people that can be streaming at a single time but if you insist on leaving then fine just make a way that Opus and VP9 can run natively without the need for the transcoder being involved in any way.

Anyway someone listened even if it wasn’t you. The writer of Concieva’s Mezzmo has it setup right. It still has some bugs and I’m working with the author to improve it but the software seems very promising. I recommend everyone trying it when the final is released but be warned it still has some minor and some moderate bugs but the writer is taking feedback to resolve them all. The web access portion of the software is a complete new add-in so be patient for everything to be fixed.

I don't know what kind of jerk you are, but if you want to promote some other streaming software you just could have done so without all this crap about Subsonic being worthless and how Sindre should have done things better.
By doing so you just lost all credibility towards the shit you're trying to promote.

I'm not the jerk I ask for these implementations over 4 years ago and consistently kept asking for them throughout that time. If I had simply wrote what I wrote without asking many times before then yes I would be a jerk but I know I have asked for the implementation at least 7-9 times and that's not counting the replying back to everyone else in those conversations as well. So I did give ample amounts of requests. If Sindre has no intentions of adding the features requested and someone else is in need of them then I don't feel bad about letting folks know as I'm sure I'm not the only person that is wanting such support. In fact look up Opus support in this forum and you'll find tons of requests for Opus support that go ignored. So this isn't something that just popped up overnight this has been ongoing for years.

BTW my posts is simply truthful and I actually hoping that Sindre comes back and adds the features because it would only benefit me and others. This really isn't meant to be an attack but more of a push for Sindre in the right direction. I really want him to prove me wrong but I don't see it happening. As far as credibility it was already lost as I was ignored for the requests for over 4 years so I guess credibility doesn't matter but for others I don't think its lost I think others feel the same way that Subsonic even though being update is still dated in its capabilities, which I have already explained. Lastly, I make nothing nor get any kickbacks for promoting the product and the only reason I am is because this product actually covers a need that Subsonic does not and again has been ignore even after many requests.
