Hi,
The recent update of VLC on IOS is not capable to decode AC3 audio.
Would someone have a profile to transcode AC3 to AAC?
Cheers,
Seb

add this at the end of profiles.xml above </Profiles>
- Code:
<Profile id="23" name="VLC for iOS" extendsProfileId="1">
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="aac">
<Matches container="*" aCodec="ac3" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>

Thanks,
it works. the audio is well converted.
I noticed that the subtitles and multi language options disappear.
Any idea?

When transcoding occurs, you lose the ability to select captions and multiple audio tracks. Nothing you can do about that unfortunately.

Thanks for the info.
That's pity because I have many mkvs with multi languages in ac3.

Modify audio tracks in mkv with "mkvmerge GUI" before playing.
You could try "burned in" subs by adding HardSubsTranscoding to Profile:
- Code:
<HardSubsTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="aac" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" />
</HardSubsTranscoding>
