Video Conversion down-mix 5.1 to Stereo

(1/2) > >>

Couch:
When watching movies from MC via DLNA on my Roku 3, Movies with 5.1 audio are silent. I've used the command line utility ffmpeg to copy the movie and down-mix the audio channel in the process. These play with audio.

I've looked at Options > Media Network > Video Conversion and found was this thread:
NEW: Video to Audio Conversion
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,109822.0.html


I know MC can transcode per zone but since I'm hitting MC from the Roku - I don't think that will work here.
Is there a way I can play movies from the Roku and down-mix to stereo on the fly?

JimH:
Take a look at the conversion options for the DLNA server you use.  The setting is a little buried.  It's in the Media Network area.

blgentry:
You will want to alter the profile for the DLNA server you are using.  Find the DLNA profile that you have associated with your Roku.  Then:

Tools > Options > Media Network > add or configure DLNA Servers ...
(Click on the correct profile) > Audio > Advanced > DSP Studio
Select output format, then configure channels to be 2, and downmix to be JRSS.

That should do it, plus or minus.

Couch:
Thank you Jim and Brian,

I Found the DLNA Settings - MC is my DLNA Renderer - thanks for the direction Brian;

Tools > Options > Media Network > ... add or configure DLNA Servers ...
(Seuss Media Center) > Audio > Advanced > ... DSP Studio...

Options selected:
Output Encoding: None.
Sample Rate: Left defaults.
Channels: 2 Channels (stereo)
Mixing: JRSS mixing (recommended)
[x] Detect Stereo Sources in Surround (psuedo - surround)

Still no audio on 6 channel movies.

blgentry:
Is Output Format checked on the left hand side of DSP Studio?

Is "Seuss Media Center" associated with your DLNA renderer? Right click on it and see what the association is set to.

I wish there was a way of seeing the Audio Path when using DLNA, but I don't think there is...

Brian.
