VLC iPad transcoding & AC3 audio

[Paul]

Thanks Paul. I'll follow up with Silicon Dust & see what they say.

OK - let us know their thoughts.

In the interim, is there any way I can manually add a stream address to my Mezzmo library?

The upcoming Mezzmo v5.0 has URL streaming and you can manually add your own URLs into your Mezzmo library. However, Mezzmo still interrogates the URL stream using FFmpeg to determine it's codecs, resolution, bitrate, attributes, etc. So you will still have the same problem as you have now due to the HDHomeRun's firmware response.

Or are you aware of any way to adjust the default headers sent by FFmpeg?

You can adjust FFmpeg's HTTP headers. See this documentaion - https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-protocols.html#http. However, Mezzmo's use of FFmpeg to interrogate audio/video files is internal within Mezzmo's application code and (at the moment) cannot be modified externally by users.
