The problem is that vdr quits when I've specified the -a option and I try to watch a DVD with AC3 sound.
I take that you use the -a option with vdr? May I ask what your vdr start command looks like?
Anyway I'll have to try the CVS version of DVD plugin.
Maybe the reason is that my FF card is a dvb-c Technotrend :)
Did you use an AC3 sound decoder? I use the a52dec decoder, therefore my vdr -a option looks like this:
vdr -a '/usr/local/bin/a52dec -o oss6' ...
Cheers, Karl
I was in the impression that the AC3 stream would come out from the SPDIF connector which I have connected to my A/V receiver which has the decoder. Or am I missing here something? I have vdr -a ac3play.
