ffmpeg DTS is not transcoded for Media Server? PS4 Media Player says "Not supported audio format"

drej1 commented 6 years ago

For new Package Requests, see the guidelines

Setup

Package Name: ffmpeg Package Version: 3.4.1-9

NAS Model: DS218 NAS Architecture: rtd1296 (armv8) DSM version: DSM 6.2-23739 Update 2

Expected behavior

DTS encoded audio in mkv movies is transcoded for video station and also media server.

Actual behavior

After installing ffmpeg the DTS encoded audio now works in the video station, but my issue is, that I want to watch movies via Media Server on my PS4, but the media player v4.0 on the PS4 still says that the audio format is not supported.

Shouldn't the ffmpeg also transcode DTS audio for the Media Server? Or is there a way to configure it?

Steps to reproduce

1. play a mkv movie via PS4 Media Player which finds the NAS and its media server shared content.

same issue is with eac3 codec :(

@drej1 Yes. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with our ffmpeg package, but with Synology enforcing use of their own ffmpeg version, which does neither ship with eac3, nor with dts en-/decoders. There is a long thread on this issue in relation to Synology's VideoStation application here: #2952. I strongly assume that the same limitations apply to the Media Server as well. If this is still relevant for you, please read #2952 (or at least the conslusions at the bottom of that thread) to get more insights, and possible also stay up-to-date in the future. Closing this issue for now.
