[WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats
If you want to know what audio is included in your blu-ray disc movie, you can verify it on this site- Blu-ray Disc Statistics

I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio!

All of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have LPCM audio tracks on the Blu-Ray release...mine all do anyway, and my receiver indicates MULTI CHANNEL when playing them meaning that it detected LPCM. Kill Bill, 300, Hidalgo, and 3:10 to Yuma have LPCM tracks as well if you have any of those to try and see if they exhibit the same behavior.

If your receiver supports DTS-MA and LPCM, make sure under Settings>>System>>Audio output, that you have:
  • receiver supports: DTS-HD Master Audio
  • receiver gets other DTS formats: decoded(LPCM)

Ah ok...Kill Bill Part 1 plays stereo, 300 Dolby True HD, Hidalgo I don't have and yes, 3:10 to Yuma plays stereo...

My settings are right and my amp does support LPCM! (Pioneer SC-LX85)

Anyone else having this issue? (or am I dimly missing something!)
Check that your windows sound settings are set to 5.1 (or whatever config you have) Its the only way I could effectively playback lpcm and flac tracks as they cannot be bitstreamed AFAIK, but require decoding before being passed to the receiver as LPCM. No doubt DanielaE or DDDamien will confirm/correct this info in due course.

Great work you two by the way

Ah dim it is then Rofl

I recently reloaded Windows on my main HTPC and forgot to do that!!! Many thanks! Nod

As before: make snippets of these media files available to me (after checking that those snippets exhibit the same faulty behaviour on your system as the full files) and I am going to look into that. I need to reproduce issues on my development system under control of the debugger to get a better understanding of what's going on. It's as easy as that.

I made a few sample but, unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem.

I believe the problem occurs when the DVD switches from the menu (with DTS audio) to the main movie (DTS-ES audio). If I go straight to the main movie, it plays fine.
Oh well, don't lose any sleep over it. As I said, it happens only with this particular DVD and I have the movie on Bluray anyway Smile

And a final note: DolbyDigital EX shows as plain DolbyDigital in OSD and AVR. Is this normal?

Hi,
is the "XBMCSetup-11.0+HD-audio Windows installer" based on the final Version of XBMC 11.0 Eden?

Once again, Thanks for all the outstanding work done on this patch guys

OK. Thanks. I had "XBMCSetup-11.0+HD-audio-20120325-dx.exe" as the latest version and I've seen that some days ago has appeared "XBMCSetup-11.0+HD-audio-20120417-2f965ac-dx.exe". I'll give it a try. I'll try too the MKV slowness.

As usual, my latest build is linked in post #1 of this thread. That build is the only one that I care about. This is a development thread in the first place ...

i tried the latest build with an intel hd 2000 and it works well. and I find stereo sound clearer.
Here's Russian translation for the latest Eden including strings from HD audio build:

Hi,

I'm using latest version of DanielaE (the build from April 17th) and I get the following error message:

Surely is nothing related to the DanielaE build but a bug in XBMC for this file so my question is the following: do you know why XBMC is crashing? It seems something about the chapters or the format. But I've tried to convert to MKV (using Handbrake) and I cannot get the audio off the MP4 file. Any idea would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

Your HTPC might need this- The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package

Hi bluray,

Is not related to the runtime. If I move the MP4 outside of the library XBMC doesn't crash. I have the following runtimes installed:

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.6161
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable - x64 10.0.30319
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable - x86 10.0.30319

All of them are the latest patched versions of the redistributables.

In fact, if I use Handbrake v0.9.5 for converting I get the error "Your source may be copy protected, badly mastered or in a format which HandBrake does not support". If I use v0.9.6 then I can convert to MKV but I can't see the audio in the MP4 file so the final MKV gets no audio. I'll post a question in the HandBrake forums for converting but I'm interested in knowing why XBMC can't use this file if I can play it with WMP or MPC-HC.

Thanks.
