How to play MKV with AC3 on VLC (android)?
The question sort of says it all, it seems VLC on Andoid can play almost anything i thow at it exept MKVs with AC3 sound (and maybe DTS, not quite sure).
The video shows up in the server but just wont play. I would prefer to assign a profile to these devices to transcode the sound emediatly, but then i guess i would loose skip forward, rewind etc? Not optimal but i would rather the kids could at least play the file than not at all. Any other options? If not, could someone help me with a profile for this? I have tried to assign the hidden Android and Android Legacy, but neither can play the file. The ServiiGo profile did nothing, and I would prefer to not use the app on the kids pad but rather do the job on the server side.
Here's the info of the specific file, almost anything else seems to work fine. Have I misunderstood anything? Any tips`?
