How it works
Separate audio streams
When encoding your video, our system allows the audio stream to be encoded as a separate stream of chunks. This approach is highly recommended as it ensures the audio is in a separate stream and is loaded independently. This separation not only improves loading times but also ensures a seamless and flexible viewer experience.Respecting original files
If your original file already contains multiple audio streams, our system will respect this and display the available audio tracks in the player. This means viewers can easily switch between different audio tracks, such as different languages or dubbing options, enhancing the flexibility and accessibility of your content.Automatic HLS output format
The entire process, from encoding to playback, is streamlined and efficient. All audio tracks and their associated descriptions are automatically transferred to the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) output format, which is the format we support. This ensures a smooth and consistent viewer experience across all devices and platforms.Enabling multi-audio support
