i followed carefully the step by step guide of deltop to make a .conf file to play the 2nd track with a mkv file. however with the latest xbmc 1.1 when i play the mkv file with the matching .conf file present in the same dir, the 1st track is still played by default, so does anybody have an idea pliz?

think you misunderstood, mplayer has allways been the core of xbmc. it's a dll that get's loaded, and is how xbmc can play pretty much any videos.

feedback on my test with xbmc: well after i replaced the dll in the mplayer folder, i played a mkv in xbmc, and 1st weird thing: the osd showed the 2nd track title as "unknown", while it added the "5.1" to both tracks although they were only stereo... then when i selected the 2nd track during play, xbmc freezed..
so i guess the promised day when it would be able to switch mkv tracks hasn't arrived yet t_t

hmm i had the freezing issue until i updated xbmc itself last night, you'll probably need to wait till you can get a new build of xbmc itself then, not sure what was causing this.
the labels in the osd don't always show what they should (due to a lack of support for iso 639-2 three letter language codes, which mkv's use) but switching tracks does work.
not sure why 5.1 was showing up for you in the track title.

i have some dual audio movies on my hard drive, but it automatically plays the first audio track, is there any way to make it play the second track instead?
