Hi there!
Just want to let you know that an app exist that can bitstream MPEG-H audio from
a NVIDIA SHIELD to an AVR with MPEG-H decoding, like the new Marantz Cinema 50 etc..
Search for "iRZ MPEG-H Player".
At the moment it is only possible to "stream" mpeg-h from webserver with json config file. This is what I got from the developer of the app:
The current version of our MPEG-H player in Google Play allows the customer-encoded MPEG-H content playback (MP4, DASH, HLS) only from a web server.
Following steps needs to be done to add a remote “media source” to the app:
1. publish your content on your preferred web space
2. create your own “media source” configuration file. Attached pls find an example. It’s a simple JSON file containing description of the media items and grouping of the media items (see JSON minimal example in the attached pdf). The URLs in the config shall be absolute URLs.
3. publish the created “media source” configuration file on your web space (most probably in the same location as your content)
4. add a new “media source” to the app setting.
Instead of a web server in internet you can also:
- setup a local web server e.g. using “xampp” (XAMPP Installers and Downloads for Apache Friends)
- install and run a local web server on your Android TV device, e.g. “simple HTTP server” (Simple HTTP Server - Apps on Google Play)
We know that the described handling is not user-friendly and more suitable for an advanced User, therefore we’re working already to enable the local file playback support directly from the app.
