I thought I had fixed the DTSMA problem as the remuxed file correctly displayed on the receiver. However, the problem seems to be that if I select a file having just turned the XBMC machine on, it correctly reports as DTSMA. If I then select some more DTSMA files then they start reporting as DTS, however then playing a normal file and going back will cause it to correctly register again, as I mentioned earlier as if it is 'resetting' the communication with the receiver. It's weird!
