Allow mp4 as container format
When transcoding, the allowed container formats are asf, mpeg and mpegts. If it's possible, it would be nice to use mp4 as a container format as a transport stream.
(This is originally a workaround the "no skipping"-bug for Samsung D series.)

If I understand, streaming with MP4 format is not possible because ffmpeg process placed "moov-atom" information at the end of file (used for file size and seek information). But it seems that with an option you can move the "atom" at the beginning.

repo owner That is useful for playing the (pre-transcoded) file from web (so that it doesn't have to load the whole file first), but doesn't help for on-the-fly transcoding, because the file size will be written at the end of the transcoding process anyway.

It's not possible due to the design of the container
