Tdarr_Plugin_a9hd_FFMPEG_Transcode_Specific_Audio_Stream_Codecs - 7.1 tracks lose a channel (5.0)

[gurpalw]

when converting a DTS 7.1 track to EAC3, the output file is only 5.0(not 5.1)

The same thing does not occur to DTS 5.1 tracks when they are converted to EAC3.

settings for plugin are DTS --> EAC3 @ 640k

That's odd, can see the command here: https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr_Plugins/blob/27f0f3196b8a7a5d210ae70cb49c023229fc4a69/Community/Tdarr_Plugin_a9hd_FFMPEG_Transcode_Specific_Audio_Stream_Codecs.js#L112

So no -ac command to set the audio channels so would assume it uses the same as the input which it usually does.

indeed. the same thing happens when converting from DTS 7.1 to FLAC. it always results in 5.0. i had to add -ac 6 to fix it.
