Hello XBMC forum,
Let me just start off by saying that this is my first post. I've used XBMC before (Eden) but never really got into it or utilized it to it's full potential. I'm revisiting it again because iTunes refuses to play 5.1 audio (AC3/DTS, even though the iTunes store sells movies with embedded 5.1 audio tracks as far as I'm aware), and I'm looking for a more powerful media system.
Story aside, I'm really liking the improvements in the newer versions and especially the fact that I can use my PS3 controller with it, but nevertheless I have encountered a (few) problem(s). I'm still trying to figure them out on my own, but this one specifically I can't find a fix for.
In 12.3, AIFF files (with the four letter .aiff extension) will play when selected in the music>files menu, and their tags (I tag all my AIFFs with ID3v2) will not display properly. However, trying to scan it into the library does nothing. All my AIFF music is missing from the library as a result.
It gets even worse in 13.0 (Beta 3). This time around the files won't even play, and in some cases cause the program to crash (which I sort of expected considering it's beta status). It seems odd to me that this behavior would be intentional - XBMC does claim to support AIFF.
In any case I realize that it's a beta and there's probably a ton of stuff that's still broken, but I'd like to get some info or opinions surrounding it and see if I can fix it myself before submitting a bug report on Trac.
Thoughts? I'll be happy to answer whatever questions/submit debug logs to get this sorted.
