Youtube VP9 streaming

[shaglord]

Hello!

Bs player is by far the best player out there. A very useful feature is to be able to use the new youtube codec. Not only does it bring a better quality but also at a far lower bitrate which enables significantly improved quality relative to the bandwidth available.

Some devices/androidversions do not natively support VP9 and it would be great if BS Player could enable support for them. BS player would then even more become the "go to player" for youtube and potentially gain an even bigger market share.

Even if playback is not guaranteed it would be great to at least have the option to try the codec. Other codecs aswell...

Keep up the good work.

Here is an update on the matter.

Using the youtube downloader app here [APP][4.0+] YouTube Downloader v4.3.2 | Android Development and Hacking | XDA Forums it is possible to send and open vp9 streams in bsplayer. Great.

There is a huge BUT though and it's that those streams contain video or audio only. So how do we get bsplayer to open two streams and play them simultaneously?

One big advantage to keep the streams separate is that it's possible to choose freely among the available streams and combine.

If anyone has any input on the issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers /Mike
