How to confirm that audio is being transcoded to 2 channels? - alyflex - 2025-11-30
I am trying to confirm that my audio is correctly being transcoded to 2 channels, and while I can see the following message on the activity page:
Quote:The video stream is compatible with the device, but has an incompatible audio format (DTS, Dolby TrueHD, etc.) or number of audio channels. The video stream will be repackaged losslessly on the fly before being sent to the device. Only the audio stream will be transcoded. Power consumed by direct streaming usually depends on the audio profile. Only the video stream is lossless.
It does not actually tell me whether it is correctly transcoded.
Is there anyplace else it might be written?
I'm guessing the information is in the logs, but I haven't been able to find it, so if anyone could point it out to me I would appreciate it:

It's transcoding to AAC as expected, and looking further down in the log it states stereo.
