MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by Markuza97 -potential of this encoder
What potential? Nobody is going to use this.
LAME's last quality update was over 10 years ago. Developers squeezed everything they could from MP3.
It is mature and stable encoder, tested by many experienced members here.
If you believe people will suddenly change to Helix you are wrong.
All I can see in this thread is developers wasting their time on something useless only to get yelled at in return.
We need golden eared peoplle like you to find out if there is a way to tell them apart.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: UPnP: How does the Media Library Tree work?
Last post by SimBun -Is there another UPnP component that allows this much control over the Media Library Tree?I guess it depends what your requirements are, as foo_upnp benefits hugely from having foobar as the backend e.g. the ability to handle CUE sheets, the playlist functionality e.t.c.
I use the licensed version of MinimServer on a Pi and I think it's just as flexible as foo_upnp (in terms of presentation). There's also AssetUPnP which does a few things differently to MinimServer, but I prefer MinimServer overall.
If you have anything specific you're looking for let me know.

Opus / Opus .ogg vs .mp4 container?
Last post by Marsu42 -I've been using both the ogg (for opus) and mp4 container (for aac) and the corresponding tools opusenc/opustags, mp4box. For my simple offiine encoding and tagging purposes, playing on mobile devices both seem to be sufficient - actually, gpac is a bit feature overkill.
Except for app support, is there a significant difference between these containers for an opus stream?
I'm just wondering and want to start a standards flame war - so please be kind :-)

Opus / Re: xHE-AAC : The Death of OPUS?
Last post by Marsu42 -What room for improvement?
I'd say Opus LACE/NoLACE seems like an improvement - and a pretty significant one, listening to the samples provided on https://opus-codec.org/demo/opus-1.5/
