Serviio

I'm using a Samsung UN55B8000 as my DLNA client and a Sony STR-K840P as my audio receiver. The only transcoding I'm doing is dts to ac3. The video plays perfectly but the audio drops out and loses sync with the video. I noticed the audio drops out in the same places consistently.

This is the profile I'm using:

<Profile name="My Samsung TV" id="un55b8000" extendsProfileId="1">

<Video aBitrate="640" targetACodec="ac3" targetContainer="mpegts">

</Video>
</Transcoding>

My audio receiver is very old. I got it many years ago before blu rays even existed but it handles blu ray disc audio fine. My computer should be fast enough. I'm running an i7 2600k at 4.7 GHz with over 8 GB of RAM. What is problem here?

UPDATE: I've been messing around with it a little more and I noticed if I leave the bitrate at the default 192 I have no audio issues but 192 sounds noticeably bad with my setup. Could this be a limitation with my tv or receiver? It plays the video fine at full quality.

maybe try dropping aBitRate to 320 or 160?

Anything above 192 has audio drop outs. 192 already sounds pretty bad so going to 160 won't make it any better.

After giving up many months ago I came back to this problem today and tried a new container and codec combination and found one that works flawlessly with my TV. Here is the custom profile I'm using:
