The perrennial sound problem!

[Lindsay]

Is there a way to get the NMT to default to audio channel 2 so we get sound from AC3 recordings? Pressing the audio button is a bit low rent.

Doesn't it only do that the first time? Mine seems to remember to use track 2 - but I never turn mine off....

[Lindsay]

Very quick reply!!
Nah, keeps on defaulting to ch1. Mine doesn't get powered off between seesions.

GB-PVR doesnt have any control over this. You'd probably have to ask Syabas on the NMT forums to put in some smarter logic in place to default to a stream that they can actually play, rather that choosing an audio format that gives no audio.

I'm sure mine doesn't I know ive been watching a bit of the HD broadcasts for the olympics. But can't remember if i've stopped it and looked at something else, and then gone back to HD....actually I did do that yesterday.

Looked at NCIS on HD, then off satellite, and then Back to HD, and it remembered what sound channel to use.

[Lindsay]

Yes, you are right. Just did some more detailed 'research' and it did remember the ch2 setting.

Will switch to recording TV1 with DVB-T/AC3 to see how we go.

Thanks for help.

I doubt mono is able to remember what audio pid to play, one of the reason it is slow to start is all the initialization. Also I don't think that Syabas can do much if the logic says that the format is DTS because this is a supported format.

For someone with very little digital choice this would be a nice problem to have

If the file has AAC-LATM audio and AC3 audio, and mono knows it cant play AAC-LATM, then it would be nice for Syabas to default to the AC3 audio.

[mvallevand]

Agreed. I am not sure that it even detects LATM though mine still say DTS but I don't have any new format files. Even then I'm not sure at the higher level the tables distinguish all the AAC containers.

My idea of recording in DVB-T mode has one huge snag, of course. I can't edit it. Nice and easy to chop start, end and adverts out if it is mpg. But NZ TS??? What solutions exist? (Thought I was good with VideoRedo but it looks for mpg within the TS file).
