FLAC to AAC transcode won't play on iOS about jellyfin-audio-player HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi there! Thanks for submitting this issue. I'll need to take a closer look later, but the following is true for iOS:

• iOS doesn't have native support for playing FLAC files
• Including a native decoder for FLAC is non-feasible due to the stack of dependencies we need for making it work with React Native
• iOS does support ALAC, but Jellyfin cannot transcode to ALAC at this point in time.
• Change is promised for the next Jellyfin major release in terms of encoding, but we'll have to see what sticks in terms of features
• Because of all of the above, we force Jellyfin to transcode FLAC to M4A AACs.

I've developed the playback with demo FLAC files and for me locally, it appeared to work. I'll see if I have the time to do a deep dive with how everything works out on iOS. Maybe I can take a look at catching playback errors and reporting them somehow so these issues become easier to debug.

At the very least, thanks for submitting the detailed issue!

This issue should now be solved with FLAC support introduced in v1.27. Do let me know if you into any additional issues!
