Description

Online transcoding converts high-bitrate audio files (such as FLAC, DSD) from your server to lower-bitrate formats in real-time, adapting to different network environments and device requirements.

---

How to Use

1. Go to Settings → Audio Quality (or Player settings)
2. Select the target transcode format (MP3, AAC, OGG, etc.)
3. Set the maximum bitrate (e.g., 128kbps, 320kbps)
4. Optionally set a separate bitrate limit for mobile data

Notes

• Transcoding consumes server CPU resources; performance may be affected under high concurrency
• Local network (Wi-Fi) is recommended to use the original format without transcoding
• Set a lower bitrate on mobile data to save bandwidth
• Some formats (such as DSD) may fail during transcoding
• Transcoding capabilities vary by server platform
