WMAP Support

[MRL_VLC]

Long time lurker, first post. I have converted video to 2 differing versions of wmv. One is with WMA2 audio, which plays fine in VLC 1.0.3. The other WMA3 audio does not, plays video in VLC but not audio. WMA2 stereo 2 channels plays fine the other, WMA3 6 channel plays video and not audio. The profiles for both files and the error are below. I have searched here with the understanding that WMAP support is currently in the release version of VLC , see link, as well I have tried the nightly branch and truck versions with the same results. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there some short sample file you could share to us?

[MRL_VLC]

Is VLC supposed to play the file I have listed without error?

Issue seems to be 5.1 audio.

[MRL_VLC]

Thanks. Just to confirm, VLC can NOT play files that have 5.1 WMA3 audio? Is this being worked on as a "fix" or should I be looking for another player? Very common format.

Share a sample

[MRL_VLC]

Can't I just get an answer on whether VLC support WMAP 5.1 or not? Do I need to supply a sample to get an answer? Appears to be the case.

[VLC_help]

It prolly doesn't, but we really can't verify without samples.
