There have been several occurrences (none recently that I have logs for) where I am transcoding a recording, and when the new video file is played, the primary audio channel has been replaced with the audio descriptions for the blind. This may be great for some, but it makes the show unwatchable in…

This has been addressed in today’s 2.6.2 beta build. It will now automatically select the best audio track even when using handbrake.

If you can attach your conversion logs for the 2 conversions, the one that selects the correct track and one that doesn’t, I can see what’s going on. MCEBuddy tries to pick the best track (if you’ve selected the option for Choose best track) based on various parameters but sometimes if the metadata …

Thanks for taking a peek. I finally have two conversions which ran on the same day (and were even from the same broadcast channel). The first, Ghosts_UK, transcoded the descriptive audio channel. The second, NCIS_Sydney, transcoded the “normal” audio channel. I did pipe them through Beyond Comp…

You’ll need to set your log to Debug in the Settings → System settings page and then rerun the conversions. The currently log level doesn’t provide any insight into what’s going on. Feel free to upload the original WTV video files to the server and I can take a look at then to see what’s going on.

OK. Here’s the DEBUG log for you. Looks like it is picking Audio Channel 0, which is a MONO stream, over 1 (5.1 Surround). Let me know if you want to see the entire source file, and I can upload it. Ghosts UK_WMEUCD3_2023_12_07_19_57_00.wtv-Convert to MP4-2023-12-15T11-01-44.log (4.6 MB)

I did opt to upload the files , along with a second show from 12/14 that ran OK. Let me know if you see what I see.

Thanks, I was able to replicate the issue. I see what’s going on, the profile you’re using uses Handbrake and handbrake is picking the 1st audio track by default (which in this video has the mono audio). I’ll see if we can addresses it in the next release. Meanwhile, you have 2 options Turn off t…

Thank you for your efforts, kind sir! The product is so good that I have only ever used a default install, so I’ve not even looked any further at the special configuration options. I opted to make several changes: Put FFMPEG first, leave all audio tracks in the file, and NOT drop the audio to stra…

Ik heb ervoor gekozen de bestanden te uploaden, samen met een tweede show van 14/12 die zonder problemen verliep.
