LG TV (webOS) transcode only audio?
Posted: Thu May 12, 2022 10:49 am
Hey all,
My new LG tv can't handle DTS audio. I'm having trouble figuring out the settings so that a 4K mkv will play without transcoding the video, but with transcoding only the audio from DTS to a format the LG can handle.
My current LG-WebOS.conf is attached.
When I attempt to play the file from the main directory, video and audio play but it is definitely transcoding the video and looks very lossy. When I play the same file from within the Transcode folder and select 'No Transcoding' the video looks fantastic, but no audio plays.
What am I missing in the config to have it leave the video as-is, but transcode the audio to AC-3, or something similar?
the first attempt at playing is below:
