The best place would be to put articles in the wiki, if you can do this Or editing existing articles, if you see that issues are already described there, to update them.

Users / Re: DVD player retry on error

« on: March 06, 2008, 11:25:48 am »

If this is a real DVD, then I suspect something should be fixed inside of xine-lib itself - or even on the libdvdread level (library used by xine for the DVD reading). For the ripped DVDs there is a separate known issue when some keys cannot be retrieved by the DVDCSS and playback of such chapters/titles fails.

I don't have any links to internet videos at the moment, so can't test. One possible change will be that you need to put the MediaType to 5 instead of "4". Please post here your results.

I am not a Myth guru, but I would suggest to attach to it via gdb when it is stuck and do a "thread apply all bt full" to get the dump of all active threads and post it here.

Update: this hint was wikified, reworked to use "Media Plugin" instead of Xine_Player (this allows to see that media is played in Orbiter), another radio URL was added (currently it works), and also added notes&troubleshooting.

Users / Re: No 0710 beta 4 upgrade scripts or upgrade DVD options for AMD64?

« on: March 03, 2008, 09:59:34 pm »

I guess this comment:

Code: [Select]

- To upgrade from 0710 beta3 to 0710 beta4, you can use "LinuxMCE Install CDs for I386 - 0710 Beta 4" or "LinuxMCE Install DVD for I386 - 0710 Beta 4" with "keep settings" option.

on http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Mirrors_0710_beta_4 actually means that if you want to upgrade beta3 amd64, you should download "LinuxMCE Install DVD for AMD64 - 0710 Beta 4" and use "keep settings" option.

Users / Re: DivX movies dont play AC3 Passthru

« on: February 27, 2008, 11:02:24 am »

Even if windows did some upmixing (which I find hard to believe... ) I don't think it could cheat the reciever ...
Maybe there's some setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted but I really do not know where to look ...

Re: upmixing - it is possible, but of course if you use some player. Some players, iirc, can even do backtranscoding PCM->AC3 for receiver. When playing in Windows, do you have the "Dolby" indicator turned on?

There is possibility that ffmpeg failed to detected 5.1 for this certain file, but I don't think it is the case. Here are my tests for the true AVI with AC3:

Code: [Select]

Duration: 01:31:54.2, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2124 kb/s
  Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 672x368, 25.00 fps(r)
  Stream #0.1: Audio: 0x2000, 48000 Hz, 5:1, 448 kb/s

Note that there is clear indication of "5:1", plus the bitrate is higher than in your sample.

Code: [Select]

Stream #0.1: Audio: 0x2000, 48000Hz, stereo, 192kb/s

Looks like this sample AVI has "stereo" audio track. Don't know, maybe Windows does some upmixing, pretending you have 5.1 track.

that's the only thing I'm getting

I'm trying to reboot now ... maybe it'll help ...
Are you on the chat by any chance ?

No, I am offline already - will be back in ~10 hours   I guess you are not passing correctly the name of DivX file. Try to change current directory to that one where DivX file is and then run from there:

$ /opt/pluto-ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -i filename.avi

You can also ask someone in IRC to help you with getting this info.

Hmm.. it seems there is no info about tracks at all. Can you wrap it into "code" blocks? And be sure you include the last block. It should be like:

I am interested in "Stream .." info too.
