In Ember if you go: edit -> settings -> misc and then audio and video codec mapping you can set up a map that says a_dts is really dtshd_ma. When the nfo is written it will be correct for XBMC. Unfortunately Ember will not recognize it, but that is fine for me.

I just use Yanfoe for movie editing. It recognizes all HD audio tracks correctly.

OK I changed to Catalyst 12.1 and now there is no problem to change audio formats.

I'm glad the advice worked, enjoy the sweet sound of HD audio, this patch is great!

I hope we can convince Damian to do one for RC1! Nod

Lol - wait till RC1 is fully rolled - they're just doing touch-ups now.

Thanks for that info.

I've just seen this thread... I'm sorry if this has already been said, but the thread is too huge for me to skim through: Did this patch make it into RC1?

No and it is not planned to make it into Eden at all. It's much too late in the development process to introduce a new feature.

It likely won't make it into the nightly builds of Frodo either, no use working this solution through when AudioEngine is getting close.

I've also noticed that it say's Team-XBMC Member under Daniela's username now, so looks like she's officially become one of the dev's Big Grin Well done Daniela

YEAH DDDamian! It has been HOURS and still nothing, no new RC1 build with HD-patches??!!½½ Shocked

:p Big Grin


- HeresJohnny - 2012-02-28

Btw, isn't Daniela a male italian name?

And on a different note, is there any hope that DVD-A and SACD decoding will be tackled, now that there's an audiophile on the dev team? Smile

Big Grin

Just wanted to monitor comments on the roll-out. Note that the Global AV patch is now part of mainline code, with a few tweaks, but there is a small bug in it which may force the user to add some advanced settings even if they don't experience the delays. Knowing some general feedback now on RC1 (and after a few requests lol) I'll go ahead and do a build for ya's, and comment in that post how to deal witht the bug.

Daniela is a currently the only female member of Team XBMC and we're lucky to have her onboard!

DVD-A can easily be ripped to FLAC and played in XBMC, albeit at 16bits. With the AE branch you can enjoy 24bits. For SACD/DSD/DST/DSDiff playback see my post here. We're working on having it added via libavcodec and have submitted a request there. If it goes ahead great, if not we will look at adding it directly. There is a licensing issue with the DST-compression unpacking code.

EDIT: deleted double post Smile
