Apple added OPUS and FLAC support to AudioToolbox a while ago (iOS 17), but for some reason AVPlayer does not support it.
While I appreciate it, it feels very half ass. It’s like they want to use it internally (iMessage Audio Messages are using OPUS), but they don't want to incentivize a larger adoption of it.
So if you want to use OPUS to play audio, you need to build the whole HTTP Streaming mechanic on your own.

Das #Xiph Directory ist wohl gerade nach Bad Gateway umgezogen.
Hat jemand einen Status? Wann das wieder läuft?
Never mind that I saved this to the wrong place.
I like #PhonographPlus because I can edit the tags. There are so many tag fields! I decided for full albums, some are worth writing the tracklist in a [custom] field. Perhaps there is a better choice, I'm not sure yet but, this will do.

He documented the process on his blog, joining the tracks as a single stream and compressing it down to 6.7 kbps until it fit a single 1.44 Mio 3½-inch disk.

rav1e is an AV1 encoder written in Rust and assembly language from the Xiph.Org Foundation.
FFmpeg librav1e is the Xiph encoder for AV1. Compile with --enable-librav1e. Rav1e claims to be the fastest software AV1 encoder, but that really depends on the setting.
AMD, or the Advanced Media Framework, provides developers with optimal access to AMD GPU for multimedia processing. AMD AMF AV1 Encoder is designed to meet the individual needs by ajusting the resolution, bit rate, frame rate, encoding quality, and more.
Opus is a completely open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec. Opus is unmatched for interactive speech and music transmission over the Internet, but is also intended for storage and streaming applications.
@liaizon Maybe @alcinnz or someone writing about #xiph?
Also #Castopod: @Castopod and @benjaminbellamy of https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/podcasting20/ fame.
According to xiph, rav1e is the fastest and safest AV1 encoder.
According to their GitHub page, "For the foreseeable future, a weekly pre-release of rav1e will be published every Tuesday."
This video on digital sampling is still extremely relevant: https://www.xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml
I again saw a video today claiming that the quality of a digital signal degrades as you approach the Nyquist frequency (half of the sampling frequency). No. That's just not true. A band limited signal, containing information of to a frequency f, can be captured *exactly* by sampling it at any frequency larger than 2f. If you sample a band-limited signal according to this limit and then pass it through a digital to analogue converter you get *exactly the same thing* as you started with. Even if it contains data at 22 kHz and you sample it at 44.1 kHz. (But you really want it to contain nothing above 22.05 kHz or it will be aliased and you will definitely lose data).
I've recently become a big fan of the Opus audio format. Before this week, I'd probably never knowingly used it. I started using it because I was using youtube-dl, and using the default for highest quality for which .opus is often the format. #opus #Xiph #XiphOrg #freesoftware
This is the stuff that gives me hope for humanity. The level of technical and advanced stuff that goes into this and makes something truly useful and astonishing and inspiring. Always amazed whenever I read stuff from #Xiph Fountadion .

Monty did it again: Create awesome video material explaining theoretical stuff behind digital media. Makes me love #Xiph even more. ❤️
