no audio with aac using chaneru or RMP
Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2015 3:08 amHello,
I searched the forum and didn't see anything like this, so hopefully I'm not just repeating an old problem. I have a roku 3 and I'm trying to play a .mp4 with audio encoded as aac (see first mediainfo printout below). When I try to stream this with either Chaneru or RMP I get no audio (I've tried setting the profile as both Chaneru and Roku). Most of the files I have are encoded with AC3 audio, and so I used Handbrake to re-encode the movie as a .mp4 with AC3 (see second mediainfo below). This worked fine, and I get audio.
It seems like it should be pretty easy to edit the profiles.xml file to have Serviio just transcode from aac to ac3, but I cannot seem to figure out where I should put those commands. Hopefully this is a pretty simple addition?
Thanks in advance!
