external ffmpeg won't help. externa libfaad may if you are lucky, but i doubt it.

Maybe it's just me - but I kinda feel like things are going the right way?
This is the one thing I need (want) to make my tvsetup complete.
Well - this, a new fanless mediacenter for the living room and a slate. Maybe the Adam when it's released. 'cause I'm worth it. ;-)
And I've just started my summervacation too. :-D

Im running xbmc 26018 and have hit the AAC issue.
I resently added a DVBT to my setup and planned on using TVHeadend to record FTA HD tv in New Zealand, I found out pretty quickly that all but one of the channels has audio encoded via AAC, only one channel TV3 had a secondary AC3 stream.
What I found was with version 2.11 of TVheadend TV3 was the only channel I could record and playback with xbmc. Any AAC encoded channel would not record and report in the log "waiting for audio lock" and create a zero length file in the folder.e
Andreas over at the lonely coder pointed me to beta hts-tvheadend_2.11.99.4965 this now allows the AAC encoded channels to record, however when I try to play these back via xbmc it crashes out to the shell.
Basically my question is, if i go to the lates svn will it support playback of these AAC encoded recordings. I can provide a sample if anyone wants to test.

Hi.
Just wondering if there are any plans to switch to libfaad2 anytime soon?
Or to tell DVDPlayer to use an external codec for AAC audio?
Is there any way at all to make xbmc play my htsp:// streams with AAC-HE audio?

I'd really like to hear some of the devs opinion on this.
Does XBMC (DVDPlayer) handle video/audio from a file in some other way than video/audio from a stream?

they are handled differently yes + there is most likely a difference in how the aac is stored in the recorded stream from tvheadend.

Great news, I'll give a go tonight and see if it solves anything. Having same problems as OP, just with different setup (linux).
Will report back whether it works or not.
