I do not know about that ....but

would it help if you made a second file - now with Tc in it
meaning
you have a file
dog.mp4 w ltc tc in audio  and you know it starts w tc of 07:00:00:00
so do a
ffmpeg -i dog.mp4 -codec copy -/timecode/ 07:00:00:00 dog_wtc.mp4

MP4s and MOVs store only the TC of the first frame, as a literal frame 
count, along with the framerate. The consuming app converts that frame 
count back to a TC string using the framerate

-timecode hh:mm:ssSEPff

    Specify Timecode for writing. SEP is ’:’ for non drop timecode and
    ’;’ (or ’.’) for drop.
