FLAC profile transcodes all audio?

Hi,

Basically when I choose the flac profile for LPCM audio it highlights all audio tracks instead of the one I want. Would it be possible to choose what audio track I'd want in flac instead of all audio tracks

If you are playing back via Plex, you should not have to convert to FLAC; Plex will do that as needed, if your device profiles are set correctly.

OK thankyou for the reply but if for any reason I wanted to convert the main audio to FLAC and leave the other audio as normal would their be a way to just do the main and leave the secondary audio?

With the FLAC profile, your only choice for an LPCM source seems to be FLAC.

Chose the AAC-stereo profile, though, and the AAC conversion is selected, but the original LPCM track is available for selection (in expert mode). So it is probably possible to add a rule to the FLAC profile to allow copying the LPCM track.
