Does anyone know if Eden includes HD audio natively?

If not, is there a stable Linux version with HD audio?

I'm using an older build of the version in this thread, but I really don't like maintaining the Windows instances, and would prefer to go back to Ubuntu (or other Linux flavor).

I'd even be okay with a Mac Mini, if I could get native resolution and full HD audio.

But I have to have HD audio.

Thanks in advance!

Eden doesnt include HD audio out the box, DSPlayer or an external player are the only ways to do it right now AFAIK.

Which mkv splitter are you using ? Probably worth posting your mediasconfig.xml. Have you ever installed haali or matroska splitter (or another codec pack) - Im wondering if the splitter you are using or have registered is causing this.

Yes I have tried others. About 30 pages back you can see all my trials with LAV. Nobody could ever get it to work for me, went back to FFdshow. I will post current mediasconfig.xml when I get back from my trip early next week.

I gather from your questions that you don't have this "search" problem.

Thanks again for your Help.

latest master must have new DB format or new logic to define movie sets. I updated to the new build 0wing provided and all my movie sets are now individuals alongside the rest of the Library.

Given this is not official yet... is there any instructions on converting XML output to provide movie sets with the new changes?

EDIT: It looks like it's aware of the movie sets still, but the sets aren't being represented by a single item in the main movie list, all separate items. I say it's still recognizing the sets because it's preserving the order of the titles defined by 'sorttitle' within each set, so I have Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and then movies that begin with a C after Dark Knight. Similar behavior with Die hard series where Live Free or Die Hard is listed in the 'D' section rather than L.

That's right. In fact, aside from the odd restart required (which I can do from the remote), it's all pretty stable for me.

There is an AudioEngine build being developed by gnif, which you can find on another thread. I've not used the latest build, but I hear it's coming along nicely.

I wouldn't say there's anything to "maintain" codec wise with dsplayer. After the initial config, you can just leave as is.

It's not actually a new DB format. Despite announced "feature freeze", a new option has been added to Video Library settings that allows to enable or disable movie sets.

well i've had no luck with this, evr custom pres plays fine in mpc-hc, but through this, its jerky. I changed the alternative vsync to false and accurate vsync to true and still the lines are straight in the stats for a little bit and then you get glitches, i don't get that in normal mpc-hc.

aha, well that was easy. Thanks

New build available: http://dsplayer.passion-xbmc.org/

Just a plain boring merge

Thanks.
Looking good and more stable than the last update. No crashes so far on my Win7 system.
Though I sometimes experience some slowdowns on high bitrate files when XBMC idled around for some time before playing them. In that case I have to restart Windows in order to get a "fresh" XBMC without said problems.

edit:

Oh, wait.

Thanks again. Will give it a go. Only other problem I have with DSPlayer is that when I try to scroll ahead in a movie, it starts over. Does your version fix this? That's now my biggest peeve.

Cheers,

Mark

In my case, XBMC crashes. I still hear audio, but the screen freezes.
Will go back to the previous version to see if it's any different in that regard.

Eden patched with HD audio playback. Works quite well.

Honestly, I feel XBMC suffers much more on the video playback capabilities rather than the placebo induced benefits of HD audio. Hence, I strongly hope DSPlayer development continues. You can get tangible and visible improvements to video quality through filters. Stuff that doesn't need a double blind test, being visible at 10' in any given moment. It might not be "faithful" to the original picture. But at least it gets you something.

HD Audio is nice to have, it's a "heck, why not" but I don't feel it's adding anything substantial (save for people doing straight rips of their BDs, but in that case you can always rip DTS core, almost always let's say, and True HD decoding is already in place).

Firstly yes delete the mediasconfig file from your user file.

Secondly where do you have the other mediasconfig file placed. Whatever it looks to have incorrect formatting - a lot of dashes have been introduced which aren't there in the original files - see here

http://pastebin.com/enEcsfSe

I would be inclined to re=install a dsplayer build - delete any and all references to dsplayer in the user folder and attempt playback using the default settings - then and only then should you consider more advanced playback settings.

Thanks Steelman,

I'll clean it up a little and see what happens. Yes, probably got messed up a little when you and I were trying to get LAV to work for me.

Just wanted to confirm is the issue of crashes due to subtitles still being worked on?
