I haven't followed this lately, but if the broadcast stream contains AC3 data in PES packets with ID 0xC0, then the problem needs to be fixed at the broadcaster - VDR merely follows the standard. Unless, of course, a bug in VDR can be pointed out...
Hi Klaus,
Perhaps you are right, but the bizarre thing is that I don't see any evidence on the Internet of other set top boxes suffering from this problem. But 0xC0 is normally reserved for MPA audio right? Surely this would cause problems with other STBs? I also don't see users of other software (e.g. MythTV) having this problem, which seems a bit suspicious.
I have uploaded a VDR recording of BBC HD to megaupload if you (or anyone else) is interested in looking at it? Appreciate you might be busy with other things right now though. Otherwise, I had a look in device.c around
case 0xC0 ... 0xDF: // audio ...
case 0xBD: { // private stream 1 ... case 0x80: // AC3 & DTS
but if 0xC0 is being used for audio I can't understand how this can be adjusted to permit checking for the content of AC3 data too.
Thanks,
Morfsta
