AC3 ist broken with this TVPlugin

[Arn01805]

For me: no audio and no video with this tv-engine. Even not in the tv-server configuration preview.

edit:
when reverting back to tv-server 10-16-2007 01-24h Revision 16239, I have audio and video again, even with the tv-client plugin from 10-19-2007 01-21h Revision 16281

I guess it has something to do with: 17/10/2007 [13:27:20] Eabin added: moved graph building to client side. this fixes some of the issues with audio-but-no-video (or the reverse) some users were having. you will need to update TVServer AND Mediaportal to be able to use this build.

Is this the reason the tv-preview in tvsetup doesn't work anymore? For mediaportal I use latest svn with new tsreader.

Should i adjust more setttings to be able to use the newer tv-server (I've always had the video-but-no-audio problem on some channels; used Dscaler to fix this)

[Eabin]

you will need to update MP (not only the client plugin) to the latest revision too (as the changelog says )
if you already have the latest version of both, please attach mediaportal.log

edit: the broken preview may indeed be related to this change. i will have a look at it.

No audio when you switch from a channel with PCM to a channel with AC3.

I think Eabins' change doesn't affect the review feature in TVE3 setup.

@Stone: (i'm repeating myself here): did you update MP too? not only the client plugin. if so, please provide some logs.

@tourettes: yes, i just saw that the preview window is still using tsfilesource, so this should not be related.

@ebian: I just tried the new SVN 16281 both for TVservice & MP. The tvservice process is still hanging after sometime. I tried a channel scan. For that I unmapped all channels from each card. The scan was done.
The preview is also not working here (tvservice log attached). I will try to produce the channel change log as described in the last SVN thread.
Stopping the service via service control panel will only work directly after starting the tvservice.exe. (TVservice had not be using any TV card)

for bad news
