Sorry to double post but here's what I get for DTS-MA tracks

Maybe ffmpeg does distinguish between AC3 and EAC-3 afterall, but reads "dca" for all DTS content (actually it may just be picking up the core track to the DTS-MA) I don't have any native TrueHD tracks around actually but I'll rip one later and check how XBMC detects that if at all.

FFmpeg supports EAC-3/MLP/TrueHD, but it does not support DTS-HD, that must be the reason for it, see:
http://ffmpeg.org/changelog.html

and FFmpeg currently uses libdca for DTS decoding and it does not support DTS-HD neither:
http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdca.html

FFmpeg said they suggest it as a Google Summer of Code project if there where specifications available, see:
http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?titl..._Code_2009

and the VLC (VideoLAN Client) developers who code libdca don't even have a wiki page for GSoC 2009 yet:

could it also detect codec?

here is example

Whoa! Sorry to momentarily jack the thread, but what skin is that nekrosoft? It looks similar to Aeon, but definitely a little different.

Skin is called "Vintage"...under MedioOS, I think...

[CapnBry]

could it also detect codec?

I don't know.

Information pulled:
Video Codec
Video Width -> becomes VideoResolution
Audio Codec
Audio Channel Count

Oh wait I do know. Yes it does.

[SlaveUnit]

Heya CapnBry...just curious as to if this is still in progress or if you have anything new for use to play with? Thanks

[CapnBry]

Nothing to report. I've had some health issues recently so when I go home from work I haven't been able to code.

[SlaveUnit]

Ohh ok...thanks for the reply. Take care of yourself. Obviously this project is backseat to anyone's health in real life.

@capnbry: get well!!

[tebicenter]

I'm posting only to support this great feature. Hope this could be available very soon.

Keep up the good work !

Cheers

Man i was hoping for something like this jus so I know if I get to use my reciever in 5.1 mode or 2ch and this is awesome.

[NotShorty]

Feel better, CapnBry!

Indeed, icon overlays for resolution, ratings, and a/v codecs would be awesome!

[timdog82001]

Agreed. This stuff will be great when added to XBMC, but for now, take all the time you need to get better. People have been waiting for many months for this, a few extra days or weeks won't hurt too much.

[Freddo]

Get well soon Capn'!
