TrueHD Passthru coming out at as aac_lc
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 4:14 am
I am using Synology and Fire TV to watch my movies. First I use Make MKV to get rid of everything but the movie and all of the sound tracks except for typically 5.1 and 7.1. ( I get rid of all the foreign language and commentary tracks) Then I use handbrake to create a Dolby pro logic II version for use on my other TVs that don't have a sound system as well as convert all DTS tracks to AAC as Fire TV and Synology won't pass DTS through to my receiver, which is annoying but not much I can do about it. When I have Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 available, I simply us the passthru option in handbrake. Sometimes the 5.1 is AC3 and I have not had any problems playing this on my setup. However, sometimes the 5.1 is TrueHD and I am getting an error whenever I try and watch one of my movies with the TrueHD track. Both Synology and Fire TV say they support TrueHD, but the error I am getting from Synology is telling me that they don't support aac_lc even though the track was a TrueHD passthru from handbrake. I am not an expert in this area, but after doing some research, aac_lc seems to be different then TrueHD and I was wondering is even though I am selecting TrueHD passthru, some sort of change is happening to change the track. The container is still a MKV file and I have reached out to Synology and created a ticket to make sure that it's not messing things up, but I also wanted to reach out for some help here just in case something is happening when I process everything with handbrake. Thanks in advance.
