the crack ?

**Gamester17** · 2005-07-04 11:11

the sdmi crack/hack has nothing directly to do with xbmc not being able to play dvd-a, it is only indirectly related as it would later be needed to play protected discs.
to even play unprotected dvd-a xbmc would first have to be able to demux and decode the lpcm codec then re-sample from 44.1khz to 48khz and encode to ac3.

please read this (link), it explains that you need to request it from ffmpeg or mplayer developers.

Sorry again for resurrecting an old thread, but this seems to be the most appropriate one to do a follow-up. XBMC is one of the most versatile systems I know and one of the few features that it's missing is DVD-Audio support from ISO. Since both ISO support for DVD-Video and MLP decoding are already present, this shouldn't be too hard now (then again, I'm not a programmer).

I've updated the tracker ticket with some info, maybe someone might be interested in tackling it? http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/926#comment:7

+1 for DVD-A support!

For now (on Linux) I'm ripping DVD-As with DVDAExplorer (wine or compiled from src), then fixing channel order in eac3to (wine). It's kind of annoying, and occupies space - but it works.

Well, someday we'll have to write plugin ourself (-;
