Try to add "truehd" to audio codecs to the line

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mkv	v:h265|mjpeg	a:ac3|lpcm|adpcm|aac-lc|he-aac|wma|eac3|mp3|dts	m:video/x-matroska	w:4096	h:2160	b:640000000
like

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mkv	v:h265|mjpeg	a:ac3|lpcm|adpcm|aac-lc|he-aac|wma|eac3|mp3|dts|truehd	m:video/x-matroska	w:4096	h:2160	b:640000000
and test it.
