Keep Original audio No effect in DTS to AC3 Samsung B

Hello,

I reach seriio lookin for on-the-fly transcoding server to my "old" Samsung B serie TV, after going through other software I think I've finally found.

The problem I have is with the files with DTS audio, my TV does not support them and for some reason with the profile of Samsung B DLNA the audio not work.
Looking at the log file I see that, despite having activated "keep original" in audio channels and saved, serviio transcode DTS 5.1 channel in AC3 2ch I guess the TV does not support this.

This is the command line for ffmpeg on the serviio.log file (I add aBitrate aSamplerate to profiles.xml for testing)

  Code:

[ProcessExecutor] Starting C:\...\lib/ffmpeg.exe -fflags +genpts -threads auto -i C:\...\720p.x264.mkv -y -c:v copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -mpegts_m2ts_mode 1 -c:a ac3 -b:a 448k -ar 44100 -ac 2 -map 0:3 -map 0:0 -sn -f mpegts C:\...\TEMP\Serviio\transcoding-temp-21-2-ORIGINAL.stf

and the profiles.xml of Samsung B is

            </Audio>
        </Transcoding>

Another hint to see that the audio channel parameter does not work is that every time I restart the service, the parameters of audio channels and cpu back to its initial state as if I had never saved.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks and sorry for my english-google.

Looks like it could be the same issue I reported here: https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... -channels'

Should be fixed in the next version of serviio.

Hi,

I probably came up with the same issue.
I have Philips 2012 Home Theater and it plays all movies I have. But it has one strange limitation. Player plays .mkv with DTS 5.1 track as 2.0 stereo. But everything is fine with AC3 tracks - it produces 5.1 sound.
So, I am using Serviio with very simple profile for my Philips. It simply transcodes DTS to AC3 and does nothing else.

But the issue is that transcoded audio gets downmixed by Serviio from 5.1 to 2.0. The profile is good, because player shows that the audio is "Dolby Digital Multichannel". I think this is because of the setting "keep original" not getting saved.

Ok, so I wait for the new version comes out.

Thanks to all.
