Here's a scenario I've encountered recently when testing what the HDR Fox T2 will and will not play correctly.
I have a TV show episode originally in a MKV container. It has 1080p level 4 H264 video and 640k E-AC3 audio.
I can use ffmpeg to remux it to a TS or M2TS file and it'll play correctly on the HDR Fox T2, no issues (I forgot DD+ is supported). The webif [sidecar] fails to generate the correct NTS file as it moans about lack of H264 SEI units however so I can't add episode info.
TSmuxerGUI won't remux files with E-AC3 as it can't handle them. AV2HDR-T2 won't either, I assume because DD+ is an AAC derivative.
Is there any way to get H.264/E-AC3 files to remux to a TS with sidecar files? I mean, I can get ffmpeg to transcode E-AC3 to AC3, then remux to TS with TSmuxerGUI, then remux again with AV2HDR-T2 but it's a bit convoluted. There must be a flag I can use to make ffmpeg build a M2TS that [sidecar] will happily build compliant HMT/NTS files for.

Another one.
If I use TSmuxerGUI to remux a file with H264 video and AAC audio then use webif [sidecar] to generate the HMT/NTS this works fine, plays with no issues.
However, if I use TSmuxerGUI to remux a file with H264 video and AC3 audio, the bare file itself will play on the HDR Fox T2 but as soon as [sidecar] generates the HMT/NTS files it plays without audio.
Yet the same file if remuxed with AV2HDR-T2 will play both audio/video correctly with generated sidecar files present. I traced the fault to the [sidecar] HMT files because if I interchange the one made by AV2HDR-T2 on the same video file the audio works again. All for the want of a 2KB file eh?

Any tips appreciated. I was trying to find the right command line options with ffmpeg into the wee small hours of the morning lol...
