[AppleTV1] Xvid problems
#1
Original Apple TV 1 connected via HDMI.

Jailbroken with Apple Patch Stick Creator.

10.1 Dharma

Everytime I play an xvid file, i get a loud screeching noise that continues for the entire movie instead of any of the audio that should be there.

Anyone else have this problem? I searched but couldn't find anything similar.

Multiple Xvid files or just one?

Multiple xvid files. I've tested with the only three xvid files I have on the hard drive, and none play, while older file formats seem to play perfectly.

thanks!

Under Audio output in System Settings I have:

audio output: hdmi
speaker configuration: 2.0
boost volume level on downmix: yes
dolby digital (ac3) capable receiver: yes
DTS capable receiver: yes
Audio output device: default output device

And, erm, problem solved.

I changed all the settings to off, and it began working. I started toggling them all to see which one caused it and apparently it was "dolby digital ac3 capable receiver"

Wonder what that was all about.

Thanks for your help!

It means your HTDV does not understand how to decoder ac3 and you told it that it did. When you do this, then you get that noise. dts is similar but has a beat to it.
