Come on guys the answer is pretty obvious. You have to convert the file into a format that doesn't have A52 (AC3) codec. The best software I've seen that is supported on both Mac and PC is Handbrake. It is completely free and it already has presets for each device and it will usually convert it into AAC.
Handbrake is good but you should check out IMFE https://x265.github.io it's a really user friendly and surprisingly well made package. I quit handbrake and have been using this for a while

I had the same issue and I solved it by modifying the audio codec to AAC. I use two other apps for this.
Here it is explained: http://ivanrf.com/en/convert-unsupporte ... rom-video/

This is fixed with the 2.7.7 update for iOS (and 1.0.6 for Apple TV) release yesterday morning. Requires an iOS device with an A7 chip (64bit) — in other words: iPhone 5S (or later), iPad mini 2 (or later), iPad Air, iPad Pro or iPod touch 6th Gen.
