Dolby D+ not supported in TransportStream

[StephenBurgos]

What do you want to do with Hls.js?

I'm trying to play this playlist using Hls.js, but the demo page won't play the playlist.

I'm not sure why?

What have you tried so far?

I have tried playing the URL directly in Safari and it plays out fine with audio and video.
I have tried playing the URL on the hls.js demo page (in the same Safari browser) with version 1.5.11 and it produces multiple Parsing error:Failed to find demuxer by probing fragment data error messages.

I get [warn] >"parsing error: Unsupported EC-3 in M2TS found". HLS.js does not support Dolby Digital Plus in MPEG-TS. If you want to play ec3 audio with HLS.js, deliver it via fragmented-mp4.

@robwalch Shaka Player supports it, if you want you can use its implementation to do the same in hls.js. (I implemented this transmuxer, so I give permission for you to copy it).

Thanks @avelad, 👏

We've accepted contributions for HEVC in MPEG-TS and would give EC-3 in MPEG-TS the same consideration and support. I have no plans to directly contribute additional support for formats in MPEG-TS. You are welcome to file a PR.
