Serviio

The software is amazing and has everything I want for my setup to my samsung BD-C6500. The only thing Im missing is being able to use DTS-MA. I feel this trancoding option for uncompressed audio would be a massive upgrade for those of us who have to have the best! Theres nothing like DTS in a 5.1 enviornment, but DTS-MA on my 7.1 just blows the standard out of the water. Please let me know if this is going to be possible.

FFmpeg does not support transcoding of audio, untill it does theres nothing serviio can do..

do you have a file with that audio track?

Yes, I have dts-ma sample demo tracks, as well as a few MKV movies with the dts-ma track. For now I just use mkv merge to rip out everything except standard dts audio and video for my library purposes. But the ability to send the main audio uncompressed would be a huge bonus. I can do this with my pc currently as my card supports it, but I love the simplicity of the media server on my BD player. Family and friends have much ease with this setup, since i cannot always be home to stream from my pc and do all the fancy stuff I like to do using VLC, or MP-HC, especially when I deploy. My wife could never figure that out if ya know what I mean. Oh and the ability to delete all those folder....genius, looks so much cleaner.

can you post ffmpeg -i <file>

The first is a TrueHD sample file, and second is DTS-MA 7.1 sample (even though it says 5.1). I think ffmpeg just sees the core dca and is not able to decipher the dts-ma audio. I had Avatar as well as Watchmen with DTS-MA tracks but ripped them down to dts core for the server. Any ideas how to pass this audio stream in its true form? Maybe another codec that could be incorporated as an option?
