Hi,

I'm not able to get audio on any streams from Global and Canada On Demand.

To debug, I downloaded a stream and saved it as a video file. Looking at this file with ffprobe:

Code:

Duration: 00:01:02.74, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1265 kb/s
    Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 852x480, 1167 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 1k tbn, 2k tbc
    Metadata:
      handler_name    : VideoHandler
    Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 22050 Hz, stereo, s16, 88 kb/s
    Metadata:
      handler_name    : SoundHandler

This video plays fine via ffplay, but if I play the file via XBMC, I still don't get audio (perfect picture).

Further debugging shows if I copy the video and change sampling rate only:

Code:

ffmpeg -i broken.mp4 -vcodec copy -ar 48000 working.mp4

then the new video works fine in XBMC.

Some research indicates this is common with HDMI audio (which I'm using). My settings are:

AO: hdmi
Speaker: 5.1
Boost: Yes
DD: Yes
DTS: Yes
AOD: custom: plughw:0,7
Passthrough: custom: plughw:0,7

and here's my asound.conf:

Code:

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,7"
        channels 6
        rate 48000
    }
}

I tried putting this in advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

alex@alex ~/.xbmc/userdata $ more advancedsettings.xml
<advancedsettings>
    <audio>
        <resample>48000</resample>
    </audio>
</advancedsettings>
alex@alex ~/.xbmc/userdata $

and restarted xbmc and from the log saw it picked up the config, but when I play the movie, I don't see it being resampled:

Code:

DEBUG: CALSADirectSound::Initialize - Channels: 2 - SampleRate: 22050 - SampleBit: 16 - Resample false - IsMusic false - IsPassthrough 0 - audioDevice: plughw:0,7

Full log is here: http://pastebin.com/SFrFZGT4

How do I force it to 48khz?

Any help would be really appreciated! Been struggling with this one for a while!

Hopeful *bump* =) Any other info I can provide that would help?

Upgrade to git head and upgraded to kernel 3.4.3 (to get latest alsa) and everything is working!
