So the're available to the world subject to what browser/os you
use, but not to me who pays the licence fee.
Why must MPEG-DASH be used for this?
It's not like it's some UHD Video that may need bitrate
considerations.
Why not just do a 4ch version of the 320kbit ADTS R3 stream, which
works fine with pretty much anything, and also gives users the
choice of aac decoders.
i'd guess auntie is as much interested in testing mpeg-dash as in 4.0
:)
adaptive streaming has its nice aspects, both from the content
provider's and the listener's point of view.
I agree dash may well be the future, though from the links in Ruperts
other post I see it's not adaptive for this test.
My issue is really just the limited browser/OS choice currently, maybe
if mine worked I wouldn't care :-)
I all for the future - just this content is unique and could be easily
made available as a normal stream in addition to the trial.
