Transcoding - select audio stream

[mardibloke]

Some BBC HD Freesat channels the default (first) audio stream is for NAR (narrated audio), and the second audio stream is what I want.

I think that when using the server transcoder, i'm only getting the NAR audio stream.

When I don't use the server transcoder my client (openelec) can select either audio stream.

Is there any way the server transcoder can be configured to select a preferred audio stream, per TV channel?

Yes, you can select needed audio stream in DVBLink PVR options. Just enter language like on screenshot and if this audio track exists it will be selected.

Thanks, we poked around the setting you pointed to, without much success, we still get the NAR stream with transcoding enabled.

With transcoding disabled in the Add-On, I see two audio streams

Stream 1 - is the one we don't want:





Stream 2 - is the one we want for this channel





From the above, what do you suggest we put into the box for 'Audio Track' in the PVR Add-on.

Also when we do this, how will impact other TV Channels, as for most channels they are working ok now.

Thanks

Strange, i have doublechecked it and it work great for me.
(I have tested audio streams with Euronews channel, because i know that there are 10 audiostreams and all 10 streams work great with enabled transcoding. But be sure that you wrote Audio track name exactly at PVR Addon-> stream tab )
In that case all channels would play with English audio, if there is no English stream for channel, it would play first audio track from list (in your case "Nar")

[the_man]

What version of PVR addon do you use?
The latest is 1.9.13
viewtopic.php?f=66&t=28989

[mardibloke]

Thanks again for checking.

We are on 1.9.13 - have tried 3 different PC's

In PVR Add-on stream settings we have tried : English, Eng, eng, AC3, English - AC3

For my channel in the screen shots above, should it be the - English - AC3 (like I see in name when not transcoding for the audio stream), or eng ?

As i know you must enter only three chars, like in dvblink web-client for the transcoded stream

[Oberon]

If you can record a minute of the stream with DVBLink and then open it in TSReader - what are the language tags of audio streams that you see there?

[mardibloke]

Do you have a recommendation for something like TSReader than runs on Ubuntu?

Here is what a recorded file looks like in VLC


Here you can download a recording:

Set message level to 2 in Messages window of VLC, start playing file and paste here Messages window output.

Thanks, sorry for the long post, hope this helps.....

Wondered if you had time to look at this and/or need additional information from me.

From the log file i can see that English audio stream must work, but sorry at the moment i cann't understand why it isn't.

[mardibloke]

Maybe its only related to us using OpenElec v5.0.8 (PVR Service says Kodi 14.2 Git: 7cc53a9 Compiled: Mar 31 2015), DVBLink PVR Client add-on is 1.9.13.

Its interesting that it works for you.

If I open a stream though the web interface - http://my.server.name:8100/tvguide/ - then click a channel name over on the left, to show Live TV stream - window opens and plays stream, right click on video and 'copy video location'
open VLC and choose Media/Open Network stream, and paste the link in I only get 1 audio stream, and its the eng one as expected (not NAR). So looks like the DVBLink Server transcoding settings are working great?

http://my.server.name:8101/dvblink/dire ... 84&lng=eng

You see eng in the link generated above.

For OpenElec/add-on its not selecting the eng audio stream for me still.

Perhaps I'm not the only one seeing this issue:

viewtopic.php?f=66&t=29536

Looks like other TV add-ons have had this challenge with the BBC HD channels NAR (visually impaired) audio stream, and have had to fix/update their code:

Thanks for any help/advice you can give.

Thanks for your help via PM. I think you see the problem now.

Do you have anything else you need me to try/test?
