    I’m in the process of setting up a new computer with BreakawayOne to replace an older computer, so I’m still running the ‘trial version’ on this new computer before I request a license transfer.

    I’m trying to setup the streaming feature. My stream server uses the HE-ACC codec. However this codec doesn’t seem to be available in the current version of BreakawayOne 3.32.55. Is it a separate download or have I done something incorrect?

    I found this link from another post. I hope it still works.

Thanks Milky, I had seen that post and downloaded and played with the files. Basically what they give me is 2 executables and a bunch of command line options which are well above my skill level to try to get to work with BreakawayOne. Thanks anyways.

About a million years ago Jesse Graffam provided a zip file of additional encoders. I did a search here and couldn’t find it. Audio_Encoder_Codecs_Archive (or_Setup).zip. I don’t have a great way to share it. But maybe that will trigger something.

Here’s some bits and pieces I found on my Breakaway box. I’ve posted them at this link.

  • I believe it will install HE-AAC if you run the exe file.

    I just figured this out! I downloaded the 64-bit version of fdkaac from rarewares.org. Extracted that to an accessible folder. In the Streaming Module, I selected Custom under Encoder.

    I entered the following for a 64kb/s HE-AAC stream:
    (path to file)\fdkaac.exe –profile 5 –afterburner 1 –bitrate 64000 –transport-format 2 –raw –raw-channels 2 –raw-rate 44100 –raw-format S16L –ignorelength -o – –

    I opened another encoder and selected Custom and entered this for a 128kb/s AAC-LC stream:
    (path to file)\fdkaac.exe –profile 2 –afterburner 1 –bitrate 128000 –transport-format 2 –raw –raw-channels 2 –raw-rate 44100 –raw-format S16L –ignorelength -o – –

    This all works perfectly and is a much more modern and much better AAC codec from the ancient Winamp (CT) AAC Encoder included in many encoder packs. You have to be sure you enter 64 or 128 in the bitrate fields and select 44100 from the sample rate dropdown in the Custom encoder config screens.

    Thank you for your input, timmywa!

    Oh, those are double-dashes before each item in the command-line above. I hope that helps.
