FLAC 5.1 is not supported #46

Closed pfrenssen closed 5 years ago

pfrenssen commented 5 years ago

According to https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media#audio-codecs FLAC audio up to 24-bit/96kHz should be supported, but this does not seem to be the case for a movie that contains a 6 channel (5.1) FLAC stream.

The documentation doesn't mention a limitation on the number of channels, but we can perhaps automatically convert FLAC audio streams that have more than 2 channels.

This can be closed since there is now the --stereo option which can be used to recode to 2 channels.
