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

Tongue Big Grin

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

An "a" at the end nearly always means a female person in languages with latin roots...

Italian male would be "Danielo"...

Sorry for this bit OT...

@DDDamian: Seems as you made a double post, by accident

cheers,

Sorry, I wasn't precise enough. I was referring to inclusion of DVD-A and SACD ISO. Of course you can rip anything to anything else, but ISO playback of these like it's possible in foobar2000 would be awesome (foobar sucks at bitstreaming).

How have I missed this thread?! Can't wait to give it a try tonight! Thanks Daniela and Damian!

DVD-A to FLAC is lossless, and you can then seperate out the songs and play them as part of a playlist, etc as well as tage them with metadata, so that has been my preferred route. I haven't tried AE with a DVD-A disc yet, worth a try. For SACD yes, my comments were based on the .ISO files and adding support for both them and DSDiff-ripped files, both native DSD.

Damian,

I think that if an advanced settings file example for RC1 that handles delay/sync settings could be provided that most users would not have a problem with it (I am using a -125ms settings file currently with good results).

I don't plan on upgrading to RC1 until you or Daniela have a build that includes the HD audio patch.
