Is it possible to only transcode audio? I'm assuming my difficulties are tied to an unsupported audio codec.

Sure. What's your device> Post details of the file (ffmpeg -i)

IIRC, only transcoding the audio to something the D5300 understands and I'm set? However, if I could save time and effort, only transcoding the audio of the content would probably be a better idea.

I assume the file is not even added to the library? Truehd is not supported yet so I think it won't be added to the library. When it does it should play natively according to your list.
