Muted adaptive version?

[Konrad Piwowar]

Hey Guys,

When setting up adaptive streaming, we can set audio and video bitrate. Is there any way to make a muted version of the adaptive? For instance setting audio bitrate to 0 or something?

Our usage case is thumbnails of broadcasters, and when you mouse-over them it replaces the thumb with a muted preview of the video broadcast. We use 240p and low audio bitrate for this, but if there was a way to mute it entirely it might save a bit of bandwidth and some processing power.

If you are using WebRTC for thumbnails, you can check this line of code here https://github.com/ant-media/StreamApp/blob/master/src/main/webapp/player.html#L232

In your thumbnails page, you can use OfferToReceiveAudio : false, to not receive audio at all.

Best Regards,

Enes.

Hi - Thanks for your reply. This isn't entirely what i'm after - this is still creating the audio in the transcoder, but not playing it on the user end. I am asking about if it's possible to make one of the adaptive resolutions have NO audio at all.

I see that makes sense. I have created an issue on github. Check it here: https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/issues/3007

If it is not looking good and does not reflect your needs, please don't hesitate to comment.

Best Regards,
