Transcoding when not necessary?
How do I fix the following:
A Movie has 8 audio streams. The second and third streams are DTS and AC-3. The FIRST (default) stream is TrueHD.
My Samsung TV is NOT capable of any of the newer formats. It plays back DTS and AC-3 just fine though. The Video track is also OK to be played back natively.
However, for some reason Serviio decides to TRANSCODE everything. I think it's because it realises the TV cannot handle the TrueHD track.
The video becomes more choppy, and the audio is simply terrible. Very muffled.
How can I stop Serviio transcoding and simply feeding the whole thing through to the TV with one of the DTS or AC-3 tracks?? If I choose not to transcode it says codec not supported on the TV (which I'm sure is caused by the TrueHD track), so Serviio can't leave the file alone, but instead of transcoding, a simple remuxing with another supported audio track should do the trick and lose NO QUALITY.
I need Serviio to be smarter. Obviously if there's DTS or AC-3 tracks available, can we not simply send those through instead of the default track? There really should be no need at all to transcode if the tracks are available, just not as track 1 or marked as default...
Any way to get around this?
