Suggestion: Support video playback for .mts and .m2ts (AVCHD) clips

[wechsler42]

Hi there,
besides the support videos in mp4, ogg, ogv, webm format I would like to suggest adding support for .mts and .m2ts video clips. These two formats are used by some cameras and camcorders of e.g. Sony, Lumix, etc. (see: AVCHD).

Hi,

Unfortunately, only mp4, WebM and Ogg files are supported in the browser. More details here. I cannot really do anything to fix it.

A more detailed answer tho this issue here: #66 (comment) .

In short:
I'm actually planning to make it possible to reconvert original photos/videos, so that I can support more extensions (like raw photos, .mov-s, etc..).
Read more about this idea here #66 and here #50 .

Best,
Patrik

Hi,

The app now supports video transcoding with ffmpeg.
Therefore more video formats are supported.
See the full list here:

pigallery2/src/common/SupportedFormats.ts

Lines 21 to 39 in f2faa4c

	TranscodeNeed: {
	Photos: <string[]>[],
	Videos: [
	'avi',
	'mkv',
	'mov',
	'wmv',
	'flv',
	'mts',
	'm2ts',
	'mpg',
	'3gp',
	'm4v',
	'mpeg',
	'vob',
	'divx',
	'xvid',
	'ts'
	],

Please note that transcoding should be done manually in the settings. (or schedule it in advanced setting mode)

Best,
Patrik
