The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

Is there any way to detect silent audio channels with the use of libVLC?

I have some bogus video/audio files (avi, mkv, ogm, etc) which have mostly AC3 audio streams with 6 channels.
The problem ist they only have 2 channels which contain actual audio data,
the other channels are just silent.

I need a way to detect that.

Code an audio-filter.

Great so it is possible. Thanks.

I'll look into it.
