Any app I can run on Android TV to convert the audio track of MKV files?

by FezVrasta

I use my SHIELD TV as Plex Media Server and player and sometimes I need to convert some audio tracks to make them work fine with Plex.

(It has a bug that prevents correct playback with 4K HDR and AC3 to AAC transcoding)

Is there any app I can directly run on the SHIELD TV that can convert the audio track of MKV files? (specifically from AC3 to AAC)

Thanks.

Plex should be able to convert most audio tracks itself, including AC3. What sort of issues are you seeing that lead you to believe this is necessary?

Kodi doesn't convert, it just plays the file and if its multi track, it will let you select which one and set it as the default track.

Plex should be transcoding for you in realtime. If you're wanting to convert a file then you're not going to do that on a Shield. You're going to open the file on a PC and use the appropriate software.

PMS is designed to do what you want automatically. Unless you have turned off or on some setting that would stop it from doing so.
