Selecting language when transcoding audio

Hi!

I've an mp4 file with two languages - portugese and english in that order. I only want the english stream, but there doesn't seem to be any way of selecting the language according to the transcoding instructions. Any suggestions apart from re-encoding the file?

ffmpeg audio stream output:

Stream #0.1(por): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 262 kb/s
Stream #0.2(eng): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 163 kb/s

Thanks!

Kheldar.

Re: Selecting language when transcoding audio

the search box at top of the page would be a good start as this has been descussed before.

Re: Selecting language when transcoding audio

OK Thanks- I'd already found that topic. I guess I hoped someone might have a better way of dealing with it than recoding, since I don't want to have to recode several files just because the audio streams are the wrong way around for me.

Thanks anyway...

Re: Selecting language when transcoding audio

Rather than transcoding the file you could remux it using TSmuxer. It's very quick, but yes - it's a feature that many people want to see in a future version of Serviio.
