Since I'm now reasonably sure the remote control key mappings didn't adversely affect the GUI as a whole, I'm happy to send up the first generation of sixmixer.py. (To be renamed later.) Four additional configuration variables need to be added to local_conf.py: DEFAULT_PCM_VOL DEAFULT_SUR_VOL D

After cleaning out the remote control keymappings that I suspected had broken the GUI, I find something is still broken. I'm get an error when I try to rename a favorite. There's no text at all in the InputBox and the instant a key is pressed on the remote Freevo crashes. Here's the log dump:

all design of the plugin! Again, sixmixer.py does NOT move audio channels around; it doesn't mix 2-channel audio into 6-channel; it doesn't do ANYTHING other than adjust the VOLUME via "amixer." Michael --- Duncan Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Beal wro

Not all sound files will contain the requested number of channels. Most MP3's and OGG files are 2-channel. Many US television broadcasts are also 2-channel while the majority are still 1-channel. DVD's, SVCD's and VCD's which have been recorded in 5.1 or 6.0 audio will have the requisite numb
