Hi

I like VLC al lot using it since ... dunno forever ...

I´d really like to make full use of the new improved media library - But i have to YES have to ... Use Winamp for Webradio (because of shoutcast to be fair) and MediaMonkey for my mp3´s

So ... Why ?

THERE IS NO STEREO TO SURROUND UPMIXER !


Nearly everybody who i know owns a at least 5.1Soundsystem ... So this is like a BASIC feature ... hello we are in 2010 ... FUTURE and such ...

You wouldnt have to reinvent the fukking wheel ...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winampmatrixmix/files/

There is a Winampplugin i use for upmixing stereo to 5.1 its based on ac3filter - its free .. the source is there ... Plug and play ...


Sry but this is a feature that has to be in a modern media player ... dunno why this isn´t build in vlc for like 6 years or so ...

because noone did it. Patches are welcome.

The algorithm code would be quite easy to add, but it would require some additional GUI panels since there isn't any right way to do stereo -> 5.1 upmixing (some people would want less surround and others etc.).

i´d do it myselft but i cant ... anyway im a believer ^^

Well i'm willing to give it a shot, as in to write the code but i'm not very failure with the back-end.
vlc_help you state it should be easy, want to give me a heads up as to where i should look.
I'm also looking at phonon-vlc backend.

that would be good place to start.
