Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Use .meta files correctly for Blu-ray muxes A .meta file is a small text file that tells tsMuxeR which video and audio streams to combine. Put MUXOPT on the first line and separate settings with commas, or tsMuxeR can't read the file and the mux won't start. source
  • Project Status tsMuxeR is no longer under development as of version 2.7.0 (April 2025). Existing Docker container images remain functional for current use cases. source
  • Maintenance The project is no longer under development as of version 2.7.0. source
  • Project status The project is no longer under development; 2.7.0 is the latest release. source
  • Install Deploy via the jlesage/tsmuxer Docker image or the Unraid Community Application and open the built-in browser or VNC interface, or download a native Linux binary from the GitHub releases page. source

Common questions

Why does a Blu-ray mux fail to start with a .meta file?

The .meta file must tell tsMuxeR which video and audio streams to combine. Put MUXOPT on the first line and separate settings with commas, otherwise the file can't be read and the mux won't start.

Is 'tsMuxeR.exe not found' a known issue in 2.7.0?

At least one forum user reported that adding files in tsMuxeR 2.7.0 can trigger that message.

Can tsMuxeR adjust an out-of-sync audio track?

Yes, tsMuxeR supports shifting sound tracks.

What known limitations should I expect when muxing?

It does not support MPEG-4 ASP or Opus audio, and it has issues with 24-bit DTS Express. It also has issues with 3D plane lists when MPLS and M2TS mismatch.

Why did installing tsMuxeR on Linux stop after adding the repository?

After the repository installation instructions, run apt update first, then install it with apt install tsmuxer.
