Softvelum's Nimble Streamer now supports an expanded set of audio and video codecs over Enhanced RTMP, including VP8, VP9, Opus, FLAC, AC3, and E-AC3. This update, based on the Veovera Enhanced RTMP specification, allows these codecs to be received, pulled, republished, and played back directly within Nimble Streamer's RTMP modes, reducing the need for transcoding in certain streaming workflows.
Nimble Streamer can now carry more modern video and audio codecs natively across its RTMP modes, which reduces cases where operators have to transcode just to move content through the pipeline. The practical upside is clearest for WebRTC-originated VP8/VP9/Opus workflows, lossless FLAC ingest, and broadcast-style AC3/E-AC3 transport. It also extends Veovera’s Enhanced RTMP work beyond the earlier HEVC/H.265 and AV1 additions that Nimble already supported. What to watch: whether Softvelum’s RTMP capabilities page and release notes show broader output-path support, including the HLS and MPEG-DASH, SRT, and MPEG-TS options it already lists.
