Audio transcoding

To transcode audio from AC-3 to AAC while keeping the video stream unchanged, you can use the ffmpeg profile

First, you need to add a profile for audio transcoding.

  1. Start adding a new profile.

  2. In the profile command input, paste the following command and save:

    Terminal window
    ffmpeg -re -i ${i} \
    -c:v copy \
    -map 0:a -c:a aac -b:a 128k \
    -f mpegts ${o}

    Where:

    • ${i} - input stream/file
    • ${o} - output stream/file
    • -c:v copy - copy video without re-encoding
    • -map 0:a - map all audio tracks
    • -c:a aac - transcode audio to AAC codec
    • -b:a 128k - set audio bitrate to 128 kbps
  1. Start adding a new stream

  2. Set the input and output stream variables.

  3. Save and start the stream.
