Right, had to move the mmaacd.ax file out of the system32 area the instructions I found said to put it in to get it to load, but I now have a MONOGRAM AAC Decoder option, which I've selected. Tried live TV but just get a black screen and no sound, not that I know I ever got anything else, I don't use the server to watch TV, it does the same with SD. Tried recording, then watching and I get a picture, but still no sound. Not too worried about that though, my priority is getting sound on the PCH. Reading back through the forums it looks like Syabas have been promising HE-AAC support on the A100 for at least two years, and the later microcode supports it, but for reasons that are probably very valid they are choosing not to include it.
So......I tried transcoding the recorded program with vlc, and despite setting the audio I want it to output it doesn't transcode the audio, just removes it (mediainfo confirms), so it's time to start learning about transcoding. Off to the PCH forums for me, but I'll post back here if I find anything........or just ebay the a100 and build a HTPC now there's a client mode for NPVR.
