can you add option to automatically ignore .m2ts in playlist if number of audio channels is not constant. In this example also frame rate is different in first file.

Hmmmmm... This is a difficult one. Sometimes there might be a small intro with different channels before the real movie which I could easily ignore without doing any damage. But then there might be movies where actually different parts have different audio tracks (e.g. seamless branching theatrical cut vs. director's cut). How can eac3to know? E.g. if the first m2ts file is 10 minutes long, shall I still cut it away? For an intelligent human it's not so difficult to find out whether an m2ts file can be dropped or not, but for a computer program it's much more difficult. I fear that if I simply drop the first m2ts file if it has different audio track properties, then I might damage some real movies.

Thoughts?

(BTW, the frame rate is not different, eac3to is more or less "guessing" the m2ts framerate, it's sometimes wrong. The video track framerate is reliable and it's identical.)
