Samsung D6000 - 5.1 not working with serviio

Hi, I tested my TV's surround sound system with various youtube videos and it worked perfectly. Now that I am trying to play movies streamed by serviio, I only get stereo.

Under transcoding tab, in Audio Channels I selected Keep Original, saved and restarted the server. It didn't help. Also I checked to make sure that the videos I am trying to play are 3F2R/LFE.

I've been googling for a while now, and no luck. Any ideas?

depends on file type if surround sound is supported, by the device.

Here are some of the videos that I tried playing:

these should play natively, so if the TV supports surround sound it should work. Do you have it connected to your receiver via optical cable?
There might also be some option in the TV's audio settings about how it should pass through audio.

Yes, its connected through optical cable. I'm playing videos through samsung's smart hub. I accessed youtube videos through smarthub, and surround sound testing videos worked flawlessly. Then I accessed videos hosted on my computer, I connected to the serviio server on my computer using videos app on the smart hub, and the rear speakers aren't working.

Is it possible that the rear speakers are disabled for the video app, but enabled for the youtube app in the smarthub?

[Cerberus]

did quick google to confirm but it seems although Samsung say it SHOULD work, alot of owners have not managed to get the device to do 5.1 when streamed from a dlna server.

edit: after a bit more googling I found it will only work if audio is in a specific format " DD ac3 5.1 "

I tried running more videos and they appeared to work with the rear speakers. (Meaning the settings in the TV are set just fine!) Which is good, but I really want the other videos to work as well.

Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

[Cerberus]

please provide detail on file that works then maybe we can sort it out

but i have a feeling manually remuxing the file might need to be done.

Actually it seems like the files that worked were Stereo... (yet the rear speakers worked --which still proofs that they are enabled in the TV settings?) Here are the two files:

Hi, can you tell me how/what settings did you do to get 5.1 Surround from your D6000 please. I appreciate it.
