Hi!
Sorry to bother with possibly a stupid question, but I have VDR 1.3.something (the latest one in Ubuntu distro) and Bitstreamout (ditto), and.. well.. it doesn't work.
VDR runs nicely with analog output, I have S/PDIF cable connected from motherboard's output to a Yamaha AV Receiver. I can play MP3s with VLC via S/PDIF to Yamaha and to the connected speakers. Bitstreamout is loaded, and I can tweak its parameters via the OSD; as far as I know the card/device parameters are correct.
However, when I play TV (or recording) with VDR I can hear nothing on the speakers connected to the Yamaha? Help!?
hi, i had similar problems, which vanished, as soon as i corrected the access rights to the alsa-audio devices. if your vdr does not run as root, check if the vdr user has the rights to access the needed devices.
