Is there a method to identify the audio channel layout? - audio

A video file has many channels, and each channel is contained in a stream, e.g.
libavutil 52. 38.100 / 52. 38.100
libavcodec 55. 18.102 / 55. 18.102
libavformat 55. 12.100 / 55. 12.100
libavdevice 55. 3.100 / 55. 3.100
libavfilter 3. 79.101 / 3. 79.101
libswscale 2. 3.100 / 2. 3.100
libswresample 0. 17.102 / 0. 17.102
libpostproc 52. 3.100 / 52. 3.100

Is there a method to identify which stream represents the left channel, and which represent right channel, and so on.
Thanks for reviewing my question.

ffmpeg - 2nd audio stream added to video won't play

I have a video that already contains an audio stream. I'm trying to add a second audio stream to that same video.
ffmpeg -i input1.mkv -i input2.mp3 -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy output.mp4
This seems very straightforward. But when I try to play the video, I can only hear one of the audio streams. This happens even if I reverse the order of the inputs, and regardless of whether I output to an mp4 or mkv file. It also happens if I map all of the streams from all of the input using -map 0 and -map 1, and it still persists if I use a wav file for the second input instead of an mp3
When I use ffprobe to examine the output video, it's clear that there are three streams:
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'output.mp4':

How do I get this video to play both of the audio streams? This seems so simple, and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure it out.

ffmpeg - how to pass all streams audio/tmcd, etc from input->output unchanged

Please help me, with hopefully specific ffmpeg arguments to include in my video encoding.
My work is only related to video stream, so this is the only one I'm changing.
I receive a .mov file(s) that have already been pre-compiled for a specific broadcaster, some of those selfcontained videos have 4 streams (1 video, 2 audio, and some other timecode stream). Others have up to 17 streams: 1-video, 15-audio streams and the final one is unsupported tmcd.
My process pipeline includes only re-encoding/re-processing video stream, and everything else I need to pass along to the output file - all other streams without any changes or alterations.
During this step of encoding, I insert icon.png into position 5:21 from sec 2-3, from 4-5, and from 6-8. To achieve this, I use map option, so my encoding string looks like this:
ffmpeg -i in.mov -i icon.png -i icon.png -i icon.png
-filter_complex " [0][1]overlay=5:21:enable='between(t,2,3)'[v1];
[v1][2]overlay=5:21:enable='between(t,4,5)'[v2];
[v2][3]overlay=5:21:enable='between(t,6,8)'[v3]" -map '[v3]' -map 0:a
-c:v dvvideo -pix_fmt yuv422p -b:v 115084915 -maxrate 115084915 -minrate 115084915 -r 29.97 -top 1 -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc bt709 -colorspace bt709 -vtag dvh6
-c:a copy -c:s copy -y out.mov
The problem is that the out.mov only shows with 2 streams instead of 17 (1-video, and 2-audio). All other 15 streams are truncated completely.
Reading some other stackoverflow posts I found a way to transfer all other streams, is by using -map 0:
But as I tried adding -map 0 on my last line:
...
-map 0 -c:a copy -c:s copy -y out.mov
but this doubles the number of streams from 17 to 34 - also double in output file size.
If I remove map '[v3]' -map 0:a from my original encoding string and only include -map 0, I get correct number of streams, but, of course icon.png is not getting inserted at the right time. What should I do?
If there's a way to re-map my -filter_complex to overlay images without using this -map option? Or, be specific at what each -map referring to?
If not, what other arguments/parameters can I use, if such option even exists, to copy all streams, subs and all other audio, potentially some other signal for audio impairment, if such exists.
Please help, so I can finally wrap my output and submit my work.

Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 17

Map all non-video streams conditionally (i.e. include if present). Outputs from complex filtergraphs are automatically mapped to the first output so manual mapping is not required. Copy all streams except the video. You can use a single overlay instance for multiple time ranges.
ffmpeg -i in.mov -i icon.png -filter_complex "[0][1]overlay=5:21:enable='between(t,2,3)+between(t,4,5)+between(t,6,8)'" -map 0:a? -map 0:s? -pix_fmt yuv422p -r 30000/1001 -c copy -c:v dvvideo -b:v 115084915 -maxrate 115084915 -minrate 115084915 -top 1 -color_primaries bt709 -color_trc bt709 -colorspace bt709 -vtag dvh6 -y out.mov

I would like to transform them into one 5.1 audio channel
I try this line of code:
D:\test-remapping>ffmpeg -i "MelleParadis_PART1_CONSTANTE.mov" -c copy -c:a ac3 -map 0 mlle5.1.mov
the console replies "NOT ENOUGH SPACE" and stop...
of course there's still some space in my hard drive...
How could I map all the 6 mono streams into 5.1 ?
thanks in advance.

ffmpeg error when cutting video (aac bitstream error)

I'm trying to use ffmpeg to cut out a 5 minute chunk from a video. For some reason on this particular video I get an error "aac bitstream error". The resulting video is 5 minutes long with no audio or video.
ffmpeg -i testvideo.mp4 -ss 00:05:00 -t 00:10:00 -c:v copy -c:a copy testvideo_5min_test.mp4
