I think i found some bugs in cuesheet handling when playing with ac3/mlp files (see: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=134396):

1) my generated .cue file (DVD Audio Extractor) has the line

REM DATE "1975"

in it, but XBMC only recognizes the release date, if i remove the " like

REM DATE 1975

2) the last track in the cuesheet has no time* (in fileview and database)

3) XBMC decodes the tracks instead of bitstreaming (it bitstreams the same file when there's no cuesheet present)

Is any of those bugs already known ?

My test files are .ac3/.cue (complete album), .mlp/.cue (one .mlp per track, single .cue-file) and .mka/.cue (muxed/appended .mlp-files).
I played them back with XBMC Eden Final + HD-Audio Patch via HDMI (WASAPI AMD HDMI) to a Denon AVR-1909 (all bitstream options checked in XBMC). When bitstreaming the AVR displays "Dolby Digital" for ac3-Files and "TrueHD" for mlp-Files. Playback with the cuesheet present always displays "MULTI CH IN" because XBMC decodes to 5.1 multichannel.

*Note: .mlp/.cue combo has no track times at all while the muxed .mka/.cue has all but the last track

I just made debug logs playing the ac3 file:

- ac3 with cuesheet uses PAPlayer
- ac3 without cuesheet uses DVDPlayer

is there a way to change this behaviour ?

excerpts of the logfiles in the following posts ...

i think i solved (biggest) part of it Smile i added a playercorefactory.xml

Code:
<playercorefactory>
<rules action="prepend">
   <rule filetypes="ac3" player="dvdplayer"/>
   <rule filetypes="dts" player="dvdplayer"/>
   <rule filetypes="mlp" player="dvdplayer"/>
   <rule filetypes="mka" player="dvdplayer"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Now XBMC bitstreams the files, but since - at least with my AVR - it takes a few seconds until the AVR detects the codec and i get sound, it works best with mka or single-file ac3/dts albums. If you use one file per track, you lose some seconds at the beginning of each song...
