Convert Surround to AC3 5.1, keep original; on reprocess creates another AC3 from original about sickbeard_mp4_automator

[SenorSmartyPants]

I enabled this setting
stream-codec-combinations = ac3:eac3

And that seemed like it should do what I want, but failed with an error and still tried to convert EAC3 to AC3 again (log from second run).

Looks like the source bitrate wasn't being passed to the sorter when using the copy original option unintentionally which would cause the sorter to fail

See if this fixes

That fixes the crashing error. But I'm still not getting the behavior I want from the first comment.

Now on the second run, audio streams get deleted and I'm back with just 1 AC3 audio track.

Looking at this it does look likes its working as intended just not quite in line with what you're aiming to do

The script is trying to be as efficient as possible so it looks to eliminate audio streams that are functionality the same content if they share the same number of channels. In your scenario it finds an eac3 and ac3 channel that are paired as equals and both have the same dispositions and number of channels so it takes the higher bitrate one and drops the other

The stream-codec-combination option can help prevent duplicate audio streams but isn't quite intended for this exact scenario

The way I have intended and personally handled this is with a combination of these options

process-same-extensions
bypass-if-copying-all
force-convert

The relevant part of the python code is here

    # Check if video file meets criteria to just bypass conversion
    def canBypassConvert(self, inputfile, info, options=None):
        # Process same extensions
        if self.settings.output_extension == self.parseFile(inputfile)[2]:
            if not self.settings.force_convert and not self.settings.process_same_extensions:

The simplest option is by extensions, which is easy if you're always going from say MKV to MP4, in which case it won't remux or reconvert anything that's an MP4 (but it will retag/update metadata)

This isn't always an option so the script will then check if the file was previously encoded by SMA if process-same-extensions is enabled by looking at the 'encoder' metadata tag which SMA fills in on files that it has previously processed

And finally the bypass-if-copying-all option will analyze the file and run through the whole option generation process and if its determine that's its just remuxing everything anyway it will skip that step and just retag

Tagging is never impacted by these options (though writing individual stream metadata does require remuxing)

Force-convert just disables all these checks and converts everything

If none of these options work for you then custom functions is probably the way to go

Most of my files are MKV, so I am doing MKV->MKV conversions of audio, and dropping subtitles sometimes.

I thought this might be related to running a custom streamTitle and keeping the original audio. But I disabled that and it's still creating a new AC3 on every run. Here's the log from the 2nd run on a file with 1 EAC3 track originally.

[mdhiggins]

I believe the encoding tool metadata tag doesn't work on MKV files like it does for MP4 (ffmpeg limitation) and thus the check if it was previously encoded by SMA doesn't work on MKVs

You'll probably need a custom script to check for your scenario, though I'm open to suggestions

[SenorSmartyPants]

Which custom function should I look at to do this? Would I keep the settings that I have or change some of them?

Thanks.

[SenorSmartyPants]

Not doing it like this right now. But what I'm doing in #1692 might work.
