Xbox 360 5.1 channel transcoding problem

I'm having the exact same issue as this post here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7487&p=53101
However, either the ticket didn't come to fruition or the fix didn't work as I'm on the latest version of serviio. Windows 8 x64

The file I'm having issues with has the following ffmpeg -i output

  Code:

Since the error I'm getting from my xbox 360 is that the audio is the problem, and this is backed up by the above forum post, I manually transcoded with ffmpeg and the following command:

  Code:

ffmpeg -i "N:\file.mp4" -ac 2 -strict -2 "N:\file2.mp4"

The -strict -2 params are required because of an apparent experimental aac support in ffmepg.
Once I'd completed the transcoding (the default q=31 is horrible, but it proved the theory) the video played from my xbox.

Thanks zip, I had a feeling it was something you knew about
It's literally the only problem I've had with Serviio, so if you can crack it I'll be a happy camper (and I might even go pro even if I don't need those extra features! )

Cracking software, though. Much more stable than tversity...
