First of all I want to say I love this script, it really gives a great movie theater like experience. I am having an issue with sound not playing occasionally when I start the script. I have it set to play trailers, then it runs a feature presentation intro in the trailers outro section, and then countdown / rating / audio. When I have the issue, the trailers and the "feature presentation" are silent, and then the sound works fine from there. In playing around with it I have noticed two things. First, the trailers and "feature presentation" videos are in stereo, and the countdown video where the sound begins to work is DD5.1. Second, if I let it run through, stop the movie and then run the script again, the sound all works fine.
So it looks like xbmc is just not picking up on the sound until there is a change in format, at which point everything works fine. Is there a solution to this in the settings somewhere that I might be able to change? I know there is a "keep audio driver alive" setting for xbmc, but I put my HTPC to sleep when I'm not using it and get the issue when watching a movie after resuming...
