Video Profile Config - Command Line Options
Hi,
The info on how to format the command line in the video options seems to be missing/removed. Can't find it in search.
Using a i9 with 64gb ram & 3090ti suprim x (24g) card, 5.1 onboard audio
Here's what I want: MKV Container, H.264 w/AAC
Video: 1080p, original framerate, bitrate exact vbr100 gpu bitrate exact vbr100
Audio: AAC 24bit / 48khz 640kbps or equal (no point to lossless when you can't receive lossless audio from video stream sites, just fills up space with empty data to no benefit), original channels (5.1).
I've gotten all these settings to work fine and record the audio in 5.1, but it's 44.1/16-bit.
Netflix supposedly delivers audio in 24-bit 48khz at 640kbps, I'd like to have the ability to either record at the very least 24/48 or whatever we're actually receiving at 640kbps.
Is this doable in the current 2025 audials one?

You say you don't support the command line, but you have the command line sitting in the options in audials one 2025 when you set up the codec you want to record in...
Looking for syntax on how to fill it out to make it work for 1080p 48000Hz 5.1
Lots of old posts on this forum linking to a how-to post that you don't have online anymore.
the 24-bit/640kbps doesn't matter - that was a side note on what netflix actually sends.

@... what does that have to do with the ffmpeg command line settings in Audials One 2025 for the video streaming options? There's no crashing going on here...are you a bot?
Mirela Radu to circle back around to the previous post - Audials One 2025 absolutely supports the ffmpeg command line settings, I experimented with them after looking up what the system uses in the EncodingBackend.txt under the system logs on my PC.
If they weren't supported, there wouldn't be a box there to enter custom command line entries.
Currently, the log in the system shows Netflix streaming the audio in AC3 5.1 (listed as AC 6 in the log under the incoming stream record) in 48000, then the system turns around and dumbs it down to 44.1khz AAC 320 (which is what I chose in the settings as it's the best Audials offers right now).
I was able to manipulate the command line and get the system to record the audio in AC3 48000 640 5.1 as a passthrough, but it isn't capturing the video at the same resolution because I don't have full visibility to the ffmpeg command line settings that are set by "default" for the video and am not a coder or ffmpeg power user.Someone in the Audials coding staff knows how to manipulate this to stop the audio downgrade without losing the video capture settings (because that's what it is, it's a downgrade in quality).
Maybe someone can put in a ticket to add a third option in the video streaming settings for audio format to include AC3 48000 5.1 640kbps (which is what netflix is sending anyway, it would be LESS work on the system to just set it as a passthrough).
Give people to option to have the best sound they can get recorded with the video - AAC and MP3 are both lossy codecs, and being stuck at 44.1kHz when we're actually getting 48kHz is downgrading the quality even more, even at AAC 320kbps.
