what are the volume keys? i assume no osd like on pc, but i can't hear any differences..

They are mapped to the volume keys and are +/-1db per press

I've uploaded a new version that has several rules to improve on ts file file
audio for multi-language files.

Use --pref-lang xxx to select a preferred language Some examples

--pref-lang eng
--pref-lang swe
--pref-lang NAR (use for descriptive video)

If your preferred language is not found or set, english will be given precedence over other languages. Here is a possible code table http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/ph...h_list.php

Unfortunately I had to make mpeg audio favoured over ac3 and other audio when found in stream type 6. This is not big a problem in North America usually only one is broadcast or they are broadcast on stream type 0x81

The least favoured audio stream is he-latm

Edit fixed in May 31 update

hmmm, is it because i'm using analog audio-outs? [rca plugs on back, not hdmi audio]
i pressed the volumes on both nmt remote and hp remote and nada...
downloading latest version now...

[pBS]

uh,oh....lost aspect control with latest ver.
can't use zoom,nothing happens, and everything is locked on 'fill' it looks like..
volume works now tho...

might i need a firmware update? did one not too long ago..

[mvallevand]

No sorry, volume and aspect control weren't touched with this last release, or on any of the releases since HDMI support was added. Both are working exactly the same for me.

mvpmcx2 is not really going to be affected too much by the firmware. It is library based and the libraries haven't changed. I'm running next week's bug fix firmware FWIW with no difference.

i must have missed an in-between one then, my ver from 4-18 works fine, no volume, but i assume that was pre-hdmi...but the one just put up is the bad zoom one..

is there anything else i need to change related to going to the hdmi ver? [new gbpvr service? pvrx2.exe? settings?]

[pBS]

ahh,my bad....newer pvrx2.exe than what i had...
hmmm, but still no aspect control...

[mvallevand]

I don't consider zoom to be "bad", full and fit should be running properly. Is the aspect ratio on your NMT set up properly. Volume was added with HDMI 05-24

If you upload a 20 MB sample to megaupload I will check.

yea, i tried setting it to crop or fit in nmt setup menus, no change...
always fill...
i'm on component with a 4:3 tv tho, so that may be related..

aha! it 'kinda' works, only on sd material...all hd it doesn't do anything at all..but just hd...
maybe the ts changes affected .mpg which is what i use for tv..tho even recordings show same behavior..

by merely swapping out mvpmcx2 to 4-15 one it works fine, so i'd think it wasn't my hardware settings..
any logs you want?

[mvallevand]

Ok, that's clearer, I probably don't properly support 16x9 HD/SD material letterboxed on a 4x3 monitor.
