DTS to ACC

[Plexter]

Sadly, my new LG CX OLED doesn't support DTS audio. What are you guys using to convert DTS to ACC when using LG OLEDs to watch MKV files? XMedia Recode 64bit? In that case, that my LG CX doesn't support DTS, I want to leave video in MKV as it is and just add ACC audio file via MKVToolNix.

You could indeed always re-encode the audio. However, are you playing it from the TV itself? Do you have any other devices attached that can play it back or transcode on the fly instead?

I can use Plex, but why? It's only 5 minutes to add ACC to MKV file. After that, I copy MKV file to external HDD, connect it to LG CX and play video with native LG app. Also, HDR doesn't work correctly with Plex.

I just asked about external devices in case you had a receiver and android box or something hooked up that may have been capable of transcoding, in which case it would take you 0 minutes. HDR also works fine with Plex, I use it all the time on my Shield, so that might just be a problem with subititles (if on) or the webOS Plex app.

 

Anyway, what you describe should work I think. I've used ffmpeg in the past, but since I can Direct Play anything I haven't done something like this in a long time now.

Sadly, I don't have any external devices or android box. Yeah, I believe it's a problem with native webOS Plex app. It's a bummer that CX doesn't have DTS support, but 5-7 minutes for a two hours movie to convert DTS to ACC it's not a problem, or maybe you're suggesting to me to buy nVidia Shield? Is it worth it and everything, including HDR, works great? Thank you for answering.
