V1.3 Plays DTS But Not DTSHD Audio Files

Postby shag00 » 18 Jan 2012 11:36

With reference to VLC media player 1.3.0-git-20120114-0011 Rincewind.

V1.3 plays DTS but not DTSHD Audio Files, I am referring to stand alone audio only files, not muxed into a video file container. The same files do play when muxed into a video container such as MKV or AVCHD. When asked to play the interface pops up with the start/end times displayed but it does not play, the progress bar indicator does not move.

Ah, I have identified the problem, VLC will play DTSHD files in this naming format: filexxx.dts but not filexxx.dtshd (even when file associations have been made) which is how DTS-HD Master Audio Suite Encoder names its files. I realise DTS Corp should use a 3 character suffix but could we have VLC accept this 5 character suffix please?
