Just for the record (maybe you already know that)
but the developpers of JRiver mediacenter have introduce the support of SACD iso, still some issues but it is working quite fine.
Don't know if they did that because their software is not free ??!!!

Am I correct to conclude that currently the only way to play ripped SACDs (.dff or .iso) in XBMC is with foobar as an external player? What do you people do? Convert to flac as an interim solution?
Cheers,
Jonas

Thought I'd give this thread a bump. Now that we're in the end-stages of the Frodo release with the new audio engine, is there any chance that this topic might see some sort of revival?

It would be seen as a feature addition, so it would only be considered after Frodo is released, since we are in feature freeze (aka, bug fixes only) mode.

Does an actual feature request exist for this? If not, I'd be happy to log one so it at least gets on the dev team's radar at some point.

The XBMC seems to take a pro-active stance on this, whereas the programmer of the foobar2000 plugin takes a re-active stance. Meaning, XBMC already says it's impossible to use whereas foobar2000 goes ahead and puts the decoder out there until someone waves the DMCA at them.
Now, I haven't analyzed the licenses employed by either software in-depth, so I can't say how much a possible infringement by a plugin would "poison" the main software. However, such an infringement is not evident to everybody, nor would it be effective worldwide. IMHO, the correct path is the one Max takes with his foobar2000 pluging: Publish it, until someone comes along with the proper authorization and demands takedown.
If everyone in the field of programming would hold back on their ideas just because they *ASSUMED* some part of their code *MIGHT* infringe somebody, there would never be progress. There might even be a fair use argument applicable for SACD decoding. In any case, nobody has come forward yet against the foobar2000 sacddecoder plugin and I doubt anybody will. This is just a small niche, infinitely smaller than what happened with breaking the DVD-V encrpytion back then.

So what you mean is: it is OK to steal as long as there is no one to see it?

Hello.
Tell me, please, will play SACD image on XBMC?
Or even be the format. Dff?
Is there any news on this?

I really hope XBMC supports SACD iso playback in the future. I have over 100 SACDs and now need to use foobar2000 as an external player, which is definitely not a good solution. There is no way to queue albums, and CEC doesn't work on foobar2000.
