3F2R/LFE on 4.0

[potatis]

Does VLC display 4.0 audio tracks as 3F2R/LFE in the media info? Should be 2F2R, or I've got 4.0 dts tracks mixed as 5.1 with no sound on center/sub...

I am pretty sure this is 4.0 as I have 5.1 version where my subwoofer is used, whereas with this file it's silent.

I can't seem to download from this.

Did you try 2.2.0 ?

[potatis]

It's the same in 2.2.0... I use OSX by the way. When I play .dts or .flac files of DTS 4.0 content VLC states 2F2R, so maybe it's just 4.0 .wav files that gets recognized as 3F2R/LFE. Or the files I tried are 5.1 but has silence on the center/sub channels.

Can you recheck and share the file that is wrongly recognized?

Hm, yes I guess it'd be a matter of mute channels, I have the same track in 5.1 where the sub channel is used, whereas in this it is not.
Can you take a look at another file I uploaded then, johnny.dts? It's a quadrophonic (4-channel) vinyl rip, made DTS (so it must be 4.0)
