Support for Custom Transcoders about gonic HOT 3 CLOSED

if I read this right, you're looking for two things

1. support for binaries other than ffmpeg
2. support for client transcode rules based on filetype

did I get that right? at least for number 1 this is already covered by #244 since if you can provide your own transcode commands it can be any command not just ffmpeg

from gonic.

Yep that's correct then.

I didn't think 244 covered transcoders other than FFmpeg so it should cover it if so. Airsonic requires you to symlink a transcoder to the /transcode folder for it to be used. I wasn't sure where Gonic was pulling it's instance of FFmpeg from to do something similar. I'll probably have to play around with the transcode.go file some more then.

from gonic.

for baremetal installs it shouldn't matter, gonic just starts a subprocess of the first element in the transcode command string. you just need to have ffmpeg (or whatever the future command may be) in your $PATH

for docker, we can just optimistically install a bunch of encoders in the image. right now just ffmpeg but it's easy to add whatever. feel free to open issues or pull requests for those

regarding point two mentioned earlier, also feel free to open an issue there - not sure I fully understand it anyway

thanks!
