Hello everyone,
I've been looking for the setting to have xbmc default to the 5.1 audio stream. Most of my MKV files have both 2 channel stereo on stream 1 and 5.1 audio of some sort (AC3, DTS, etc) on stream 2. I tried setting it in one file and the clicking 'Apply to all files' but that doesn't save the setting for audio stream for some reason.
I've tried to scour a few different forums, including this one, and found that while the option doesn't seem to exist in XBMC natively a lot of people want it and have put together a patch to automatically select the highest quality audio stream. I've found a few different posts and bits of code from about 9 months ago where people have gotten it to work. I haven't found any actual add-on files, or patch files that I can apply to my XBMC install.
Does anyone know if there is a simple way for me to add that function to my install? Because I'm getting the impression that the people who got this to work added the code manually and recompiled their XBMC installs...
Thanks!
