Hi,

today I tried to play back a bluray with a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio stream. In short, audio doesn't work, the video starts to stutter. What I can see in the info display is that kodi seems to continuesly redetect the audio stream. It jumps between 5.1, 7.1 and even 2.0. That's also what I can see in the debug log (had to split it into two parts, see https://pastebin.com/E1xTpUnC and https://pastebin.com/CGkc1q14).

I'm running the following setup:

GPU is the chipset provided i965.

The bluray is played back using makemkv's libmmbd.so (version 1.10.4)

Basically my setup works fine for TrueHD 7.1 when I play a TrueHD demo mkv file and even the ripped mkv version of the same bluray plays fine. My Denon X2200W detects the TrueHD stream perfectly. It's just not working when accessing the disc directly through libmmbd.so

Any ideas what might be wrong here? Is this setup basically expected to be working?

Best regards,
Manuel

Yes, it works perfectly.

Good - so something VFS related. Sadly I cannot help in that regard - not a part of our code I have strong knowledge.

Let's see what others tell. For the time being: I suggest makemkv :-)

Thanks for looking into it! I hope we can find the underlying problem.
