My media renderer only recognises stereo audio files. I have some classical performances as 6-channel surround sound Flac which I'd like to playback. I know ffmpeg can do this conversion. How can MinimStreamer tell ffmpeg to do this?
Is
this what you want? If so, you should be able to do this by setting stream.options to:
convOut=-ac 2
You also need to set stream.transcode to:
flac:wav;
with the semicolon as shown to make sure the stream converter program (ffmpeg) is called.
I don't have any 5.1 files and I haven't tried this myself.
That is exactly what I needed. Thanks.
