Thomas,

Which UK DVB channels are AC3 encoded currently? Whenever I've demuxed
recordings to burn to DVD, they've always come out as MP2 streams.
Having a Pundit-R system, one of the last things I have left to
configure is to run the sound through the SPDIF so I'd be interested
in your responses.

As I'll also be restoring the DVD drive into the system this week
(after trying to hunts down mediamonitor oddness) which obviously will
give AC3 output from DVDs, I'll be hoping to get everything eventually
working over the SPDIF which may involve cutting a hole in to front
door of the Pundit-R (great design having the SPDIF output not only on
the front of the system, but also behind a door?!?).

Cheers,
Nick

[mythtv-users] uc: epia spdif AC3 - Almost there, quick question

2005-04-19 Thread Barker Thomas








Hi I have mythtv 0.18 compiled with alsa, I have alsa
correctly using spdif.

I have a dvb-t setup in the uk, nova-t so should be fine for
AC3 encoded channels.



For example  mplayer ac3test.avi -ac hwac3 -vo
null switches my external amp to DD and all sounds great.



I have enabled my mythtv audio setup to pass AC3 through and
have set the device to ALSA:iec958 and I get sound through my amp now over
coaxial, But my amp does not switch to DD.



Now my question, is ALSA:iec958 the correct device for a via
epia m10k? if so how do I make mythtv output AC3 channels to my amp? Am I Missing
something here? 



Please help!!

P.s. I have checked the forums and this is as far as I can
go information wise!



Many thanx

Thomas Barker
