This list describes Sapsan output; decoding support depends on the player. Tracks also need valid codec parameters for packaging in the selected container.

Sapsan muxes any stream into SPTS MPEG-TS and serves it over HTTP — convenient for set-top boxes, transcoders, and legacy systems.

AV1 in MPEG-TS uses the stream_type = 0x06 convention with the AV01 registration descriptor; the receiver must understand this form. This does not guarantee compatibility with every AV1-in-TS implementation. Opus is excluded from the list: recognizing or announcing a codec alone does not establish usable output, and the current path does not provide the required Opus TS/PES framing.

What is produced

  • Correct PAT/PMT/SDT with continuous continuity counters; the program number, PIDs, and service names are set by the mpegts section; conflicting and reserved PIDs are reassigned automatically.
  • H264/HEVC video, AAC/AC3/EAC3 audio, track language descriptors, teletext (teletext descriptor with pages and languages).
  • JPEG screenshot tracks never enter the TS.
