No Dolby True-HD with 1.0.0RC2!!!

[bendermac]

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???

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yeah, can you share the file?

[bendermac]

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

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

ftp://streams.videolan.org/incoming/

[bendermac]

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.

[bendermac]

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

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

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

[bendermac]

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

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

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

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

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.

[seth_keith]

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?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

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