No audio transcoding possible?

Is it possible to config the profile to not transcode at all if the container has both an audio and a video stream that is compatible with the client?

More specifically, I love the fact that Serviio is not transcoding my carefully encoded AVC streams in my MKV containers. However I'd love it if it just muxed my pure AC3 streams as well since my Bravia supports them. If it did this it would just be a a pure transmux operation and my NAS could even do that... More importantly I am hoping a mux would lessen my small AV sync isues I have.

Possible?

Cheers,

Of course. whatever is specified as targetACodec will be used. If you don't provide it on the config or if the original codec is the same, it just copies the stream.

That is awesome. If I have both a DTS stream and an AC3 stream in my MKV, does it just mux in the AC3 as-is then, regardless if it's the first audio stream?

Serviio only knows about the first stream FFmpeg provides. Transcoding is triggered based on this track (so if there is another one that would make the file playable natively, it'll still transcode and mux the first track only)

Very good to know thanks. Going to remux my media and put a cheap 192k AC3 track first then.
