Currently we don't have custom device profile config which means you have to enforce this downmix to stereo option to avoid compatibility issues like this.

    I created a plain mono AC3 track, and my PC, phone, TV media player, and Jellyfin have no issues. I created a MKV with the same info (minus subtitles), no issues again.

    If I transcode the issue media with Handbrake and keep everything the same (at least everything VLC Codec Info shows me), there's also no issues anywhere.

    So I believe my systems support AC3 Mono, and I'm stumped at where to look next. Does it seem likely that an original encoding error is at fault, and is there actually a way to investigate that?
