OPUS support

[hyperion]

Please add OPUS support : it's the de facto standard for audio coding in 2023 and the best quality codec.

Most media servers are using OPUS by default.

Thanks

I have the impression many have posted but few have upvoted the topic itself

Thanks - I hadn't spotted the upvote button. Now done.

Also submitted feedback within the app requesting this.

Going back to Gerbera configuration and transcoding, I can see this in my config:

<transcoding enabled="no">

So I'm not sure if my Gerbera is transcoding. I have not seen any confirmation in this forum thread from Wiim support that Opus is in fact not supported. Not sure if capturing network traffic between the DLNA server and the Wiim would help to determine that.

If you're on Android, install BubbleUPnP and browse to a track, then select the vertical ellipsis on the right hand side and choose Show Metadata. This will show you the streams that Gerbera is offering.

I think it said "ogg" last time I checked. Maybe I can raise a ticket to Gerbera, just for my understanding.

That's interesting as I would have expected to see the transcoded streams in addition to the original, it's then up to the control point to choose which one given the renderers capabilities.
To see a list of the supported formats, in BubbleUPnP select the vertical ellipsis next to the WiiM renderer and choose Info.

Makes sense

OK, I see OPUS for local renderer, but not for Wiim. Thanks.
