BATC livestream site is converting stereo to mono

[greg]

Hi all

I have 2 video streams on my stream, one of which has the audio on the left channel and the second on the right channel.

When watching the videos via RTMP rtmp://rtmp.batc.org.uk/live/M0ODZ the output is in stereo as expected and each ear has one video.
When watching the videos on the BATC site https://batc.org.uk/live/m0odz the audio is merged and plays through both ears.

Is this the intended behaviour? If so could it be changed to keep the stereo channels as intended? If anything this would mean less processing at your end, the audio tracks could be copied rather than mixed.

As an aside, I have just written a batch file that uses ffmpeg to resize videos, convert them to a single format such as MP4 and convert their audio from stereo mixed to stereo left or stereo right.

Interesting as this doesn't happen on SQ or HV.
