Hi.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask.
Yesterday i saw that with 1.1 ffmpeg added the compatibility with the lossless tak audio codec and xbmc updated ffmpeg in gotham to 1.2.
So i decided to try the latest build of gotham to see if it works since i have some file in that format but it doesn't. If i select the file it doesn't recognise it as audio.
IDK how these things works bu can someone explain to me why doesn't actually work (licensing issues, disabled by default, no support from developers) and if i can can make it work building it by myself changing something?
The solution is at post 2 and 11

Probably isnt then unsupported by xbmc
You could ask a developer, like fritsch more about this in IRC #xbmc but in any case you should have some full pastebin of
Debug log (wiki) to present both here and there. Log snippets not a good idea.

This is just a guess, but maybe there needs to be a rule to run dvdplayer instead of paplayer for this file-type to use ffmpeg (I'm showing ignorance in how ffmpeg is used in XBMC)?

Eh really pastebin a full
Debug log (wiki) no one is going to help you without one. Have the Log show both pap and dvdplayer attempts on this file.
The wiki needs updating, cleaning up, improving. So feel free to register and have a go.

Yes i mean that with dvdplayer works.
I also followed your advice and with your suggestion it works by default (you actually forgot to close the rules tag but i fixed it), thanks!
I still don't understand if it's wanted that xbmc doesn't switch automatically to DVDPlayer...

The wiki is old info, predates any support to this filetype and ffmpeg bumps etc, and if this rule is hardcoded in xbmc it will do as wiki says. If that will happen or not is another matter.
Who knows what other formats may be missing from the current ffmpeg version such as this.
but as far as your issue goes, it seems solved
So please mark thread as solved
