How to transcode 5.1 AAC to AC3?
I've been searching forums but I can't find the working code (profile) for this.
So I'm using Serviio to stream video files to WD TV Live. BUT the audio is being played through older generation Sony STR-DB930QS AV 5.1 Receiver, which doesn't support decoding AAC stream (and has no HDMI connectors). So I need to transcode AAC audio stream into "standard" Dolby Digital AC3 audio stream (or DTS, whatever is doable).
HELP!
I've tried the solution from this link but it didn't work - I added this line
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="aac" />
BUT after adding it, some of the video files stopped working! WD TV Live started reporting "filetype not supported" - I think that happened with all the files that use H.264 video encoding.
Currently my profile looks like this:
Serviio: 1.4.1.2
WD TV Live: WDBAAP0000NBK-01 (first generation)
Connected via optical audio cable to Sony STR-DB930QS AV 5.1 Reciever (supports Dolby Digital and DTS, but not AAC, mp3 and other "modern" codecs).
THANK YOU!!
