DTS passthrough issue (1 Viewer)

[activ]

Hi, it has been discussed in another thread already but I'm having problems with DTS passthrough.

Firstly I must say that all is working fine in Windows Media center and media player.
I'm using ffdshow for the passthrough ( tryouts beta 4 ).
It seems some signal is sent to the receiver as the receiver is flipping out and switches between dd and dts all the time, but no sound is to be heard. ac3 works fine.
I have attached logfile.
What I did during the logging period: Open media portal, browse to the file, open the file( the problem happened ), stopped playback and closed media portal.

Hi,
Your mediaportal.log(which is the most important) it's not in the zip, could you attach that too after the issue has occurred?

Just did another debug run and got the a new zip file but again it doesn not contain the mediaportal.log.
Can you tell me where to find that?

Hi,
In Vista it should be in %ProgramData%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log

There is a error.bak and a vmr9.bak in that folder but that's it.

Hi,
Hmmm, so if you in run box paste this line "%ProgramData%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log\mediaportal.log" nothing happens?

I get an error message but other then that nothing happens.

But I just stumbled upon a solution, I changed the audio renderer from default directsound to another one ( some HD audio one) and it works. Still het a vmr9 log telling me lot's of frames are late but I don't think that's a mediaportal problem.
