Samsung UE48JU7500 Series TV - DTS to AC3
Because my AMP is not 4K capable I have plugged my devices into the TV and using ARC to relay all the audio to the amp. The TV is set to BitStream and Dolby Digital as the format - you can choose PCM/DTS/Dolby Digital from the TV's menu. I usually use MediaPortal on the PC as my choice for all my Movies/TV playback - I use the Audio Renderer that MediaPortal has and that converts everything in surround to Dolby Digital so the above setting on the TV works perfectly.
I've played about with the DLNA on this TV, and found that anything with Dolby Digital works absolutely fine, but anything with DTS Audio just comes out as PCM 2CH unless I go into the TV's menu and change it to DTS. To make life easier it would be great to use something like Serviio to transcode the audio only from DTS to AC3 - would this be achievable with Serviio as obviously the Video doesn't need transcoding as I believe the TV can play most formats natively.
I found a blog where somebody had a simple configuration that converted any file with DTS into another format and just muxed the video but my Samsung TV just came up with "cannot play this content" so I'm not sure where to go from here.
The configuration I tried was this:
<Profile id="Test" name="Test" extendsProfileId="1">
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="ac3">
<Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>
It would be great if anyone could assist me.
Thanks
