As I said, I'm not a PHP Wizard but I could look into it.

Waiting for this feature as all my collection is in flac, but implementing flac is not easy as browsers doesn't support it natively. So the flac decoding should be done by javascript side with for example : https://github.com/audiocogs/flac.js/tree/master.

Good luck
Thanks

Ampache (a similar project) transcodes files on the fly https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Transcoding

Transcoding might be a better solution than playing FLAC in the browser. Smaller file sizes and less work for the browser to do.

I honestly don't see wav supported – we don't want too stream those big-ass files anyway do we?
FLAC on the other hand sounds like something in higher demand, so I'll be thinking about it. Although, personally I don't stream them either, for the same reason as wav's.

See also mp3fs, a FUSE-based transcoding filesystem from FLAC to MP3.

Yeah saw that too. Certainly worth giving a try.

The reason to stream FLAC is because many people have archival quality backups composed of FLAC which they need to be accessible, but still high quality.

Transcodibg can be a solution if it is done on the fly and doesn't consume disk space by generating a file on each transcode...

I think both transcoding and raw FLAC streaming would be suitable for the most part of the people since if someone has a quite good connection can listen to the original FLAC files, otherwise he/she could enable the transcoding and download lightweighter files. Pretty interested in both the features anyway.

Unfortunately, upon further investigation, it only seems to work on ChromeOS and Chrome on Android. Sorry for the false alarm. github.com/Fyrd/caniuse@d664b43456

At least it's a sign that FLAC would be natively supported eventually 👍

Transcoding is a nice feature to have. I can't switch to koel from subsonic because my collection stored in FLAC files and subsonic transcodes them on the fly to MP3.
