Is it possible to use the wowza engine transcoder to change audio sample rate and number of channels?
More specific: AAC 1 channel 44100Hz -> opus 2 channels 48000Hz
Thanks
Yossi
Yes, we now support resampling of sample rates and channels.
You’ll need to go to this document and scroll down to the section for Set up an RTMP source for a transcoded video and audio stream and click on " SEE THE STEPS."
You’ll see this in that section:
That is the correct way of setting the channels to 2 & adjusting the sample rate.

Thanks! Yet it doesn’t work for me.
After following the document and adding the relevant parameters to the existing audioonly.xml, when I’m trying to play WebRTC I’m getting stream is not ready error.
I also see error in the logs: JNI:AudioEncoderOpus.initialize[_defaultVHost_:live/_definst_/test:opus]: Sample rate is not supported [8KHz, 12KHz, 16KHz, 24KHz, 48KHz]: 44100
Log lines added at the end.
- I can play the original stream with WebRTC without audio of course.
- If I resample + stereo before sending to the engine - the transcoder (without the extra parameters of resampling in the transcoder) works fine and I can play it with audio on the WebRTC player.

Thanks

Well that stinks, I don’t see anything jumping out at me as far as why not in the logs and why it doesn’t like that 44100Hz. It will require the change to stereo as well for the audio to work, did you change that as well?
If your source isn’t configured to send stereo audio, in the <Decode> / <Audio> container, set the default.scaleChannels parameter to 2 to force any mono audio frames to stereo by duplicating the mono stream for both the left and right channels.
WebRTC can be a complicated protocol for a lot of reasons that aren’t always your fault. The engineers are requesting a support ticket so they can further investigate this issue.
They’ll need to replicate and test which means uploading your files and logs through a ticket here:

They can quickly identify what the problem is here @Yossi_Dar
I think I am seeing it is only 1 channel though in the logs, it needs to be stereo for webrtc audio to work. Also disable B frames in the encoder settings for a better WebRTC stream, it doesn’t like B-frames.
