The VideoLAN Forums

the changelog says that vlc can now play dolby true-hd. i tested it with various files in m2ts container, even the elementary stream and it doesn't work. did i miss something???

Yeah, can you share the file?

do you mean the m2ts or the true-hd elementary stream?

the video test file is about 180mb and the audio 18mb. tell me where to upload and i send it

i've uploaded a m2ts with true-hd audio. it's the dolby true-hd trailer, about 35mb. should be enough to test it guess.

tested now with 1.0.0rc3 and still doesn't work!!!

Well, yes, it doesn't work, but I can't extract correclty the trueHD track to see wher ethe issue is.

either use eac3to (win only) or tsmuxer (win/mac) to get the audio stream.

anyway... i've uploaded a true-hd audio file "test-dolby-truehd.thd" to the ftp

Tested, it seems those streams are part of a category of streams that we don't deal with correctly.
We have to fix it.

This will be fixed in final 1.0.0

It sure don't appear fixed to me. How do I play a .m2ts file with trueHD audio and have it work?

1. Don't cross post
2. Precise VLC version and OS and OS version.

Sorry for the cross post, but this thread seems to be going in a different direction. Anyway, versions:

# VLC 1.0.0 and FFmpeg SVN 19344

uname -a

Linux myth1 2.6.30.1 #1 SMP Tue Jul 14 21:17:44 PDT 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

distro:

minimyth-0.21.0-69b1-x86_64

Uh, are you sure this was not intended for the "VLC media player for Linux and friends Troubleshooting" forum?

Yeah, this is in the wrong forum and has NOTHING to do with the above issue, that was indeed fixed.
