Audio passthrough: Add option to transcode not supported by receiver audio formats to AC3 #430

Useful for formats like multichannel AAC or Dolby Digital Plus and old receivers. Ideally it should be possible to manually specify list of formats for AC3 transcoding.

It is indeed the only universal robust passthrough option. It is on the todo list...

Came here to request this. This would make Nova the complete solution for video library management and playback!

Please add the option to transcode on the fly AAC 5.1 audio to Dolby Digital/AC3 5.1 Its one of the main things missing to make it the ultimate player! Kind Regards

Also note that some Android TVs (mine, for example) only support EAC3 - not regular AC3. Because EAC3 is backward compatible, you can send an unaltered AC3 stream as EAC3 (as long as you tell Android it is EAC3).

So, if you do add transcode to AC3 support, please also add the ability to send it as EAC3 if that is all the TV supports.

I recently added functionality to Kodi for this:

I second this motion. Option to transcode AAC into AC3 and/or EAC3 would be amazing.

I vote for this with two hands. Hope it is not too difficult to implement.
