Transcoding Audio to MP3 2 Channels (Stereo)

[The_BMK]

Hi Community,

Im trying the Twonky server with my Samsung UE40B7090, I Use these client.db entry:

>>
NA:Samsung LED 7090 DLNA 1.5
HHLNADOC/1.50 <== HH:DLNADOC/1.50
HP:chunked
XMLNA10 <= XM:DLNA10
XMATETIME <= XM:DATETIME
DB:AUTO
DL:MP4DLNA
MT:mkv video/MP4V-ES
MT:avi,divx video/x-divx
MT:mp4 video/MP4V-ES
MT:mpeg,mpeg2,vdr,spts,tp,ts,m2ts video/mpeg
MT:ogg audio/x-ogg
MT:flac audio/flac
MT:mp1,mp2,mp3 audio/mpeg
MT:mp3 audio/mp3

All is working fine, but i need a stereo audio signal, because i have an optical analog converter for my 2.1 Audio System, and this converter only understand a stereo signal. I tryed the Wild Media Server and with this i can convert to Stereo.

Is it possible to transcode the audio to Stereo ?

Regards,

Do you mean for music files, or for the audio contained within a movie?

If it's for movies then you'll need to set up transcoding which seems quite complicated. Look in your cgi-bin folder under your twonky installation folder and take a look at the various files there to work out how to do what you want. You need to have ffmpeg and set up the ffmpeg.location files to point to the correct location. It then depends on what format your files are in currently as you'll need to create a file to do what you want. You probably only need to set up ffmpeg's -acoder parameter to transcode the audio but not do anything with the video.

Sorry it's not a definite answer as I have never tried this myself, but it's better than the other answers you've got!
