I am trying to play a 4k mkv on a Samsung TV. The audio is the one causing the issue. It has both a TRUEHD 7.1 and AC3 5.1. The Samsung TV supports AC3 (even on mkv), yet when I play this file it transcodes the AC3 to AAC. This ruins the stream as it needs to buffer every 5 seconds or so. The file alos has a lot of PGS subs, which Samsung TV can’t handle well, and so even with the off it transcodes the audio.
I tried converting all audio to AAC, which works like gold every time with ffmpeg -i movie.mkv -c:v copy -c:a aac movie.mp4. This works fine but for some reason this specific file won’t take any subs on PLEX. Whether I “search” or upload them, PLEX won’t even acknowledge I have selected a sub file. The file plays fine, and I can do without subs in this movie, but i would highly prefer to have them.
Ideally i would just be able to play the AC3 version and select SRT subs.
All the file info will attached on a text file from ffmpeg -i movie.mkv
