Force remux - jelectric - 2025-06-18

I'm using the Roku client and I see there is an option to force transcoding or play normally. I'm wondering if there's a way to force it to just remux the container and leave the video and audio streams untouched instead. I have some files using the ts container and Roku attempts to direct play them. It is capable of playing the video but other features don't work correctly such as seeking forward or backwards. I'd like the server to just remux this to another container format to correct this problem. Forcing a transcode also works but is more of a burden on my server.

There is not an option to force remuxing. You can remux it yourself with:

Code:
ffmpeg -i <INPUT.TS> -map 0 -c copy <OUTPUT.MKV>

I guess I can do that as a workaround but ideally the server should recognize that the ts container isn't fully supported on roku and automatically remux.
