Describe the feature

Is there any way for playback of recorded fmp4's, maybe we can expose an stream url which converts an fmp4 file to mpeg dash or hls on demand

Just transcode it, it's supported out of the box and is in the README.md file.
As far as serving fmp4 in your scenario how does dash play in to this (rather than HLS)?

An API for serving recording segments is planned and that's one of the reasons why fMP4 was chosen as format, since it can be played by browsers.

I have this situation where the HLS h265 feed only plays on Apple Mac Safari and Chrome but not on Linux Chrome
Would this new fMP4 feature allow us to support H265 read in all browsers if it is closer to dash
Thanks

Is this table accurate?

So far I am unsuccessful in getting hls working on Linux chrome for example

@saket424 H265 is unsupported by Chrome on Linux, independently from MediaMTX. There's a section in the README that provides a tool that allows to find out which codecs are supported by your browser:

https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx#hls

DASH doesn't have particular advantages over Low-Latency HLS, they support the same codecs (that are imposed by browsers anyway), so there's no reason to add support for it yet.

Anyway, this feature request is related to a playback API, so HLS is off topic.
