Does anyone know how to turn off audio description (narration) when watching live tv as it seems to be turned on by default, can't find any setting relating to this in MP2.

    Audio description is a separate audio stream. If you are hearing it, it is because that is the audio stream that is active.

    In MP1, the audio stream is selected via the context menu when watching TV or video. Perhaps MP2 does it the same way?

    Note: for the UK, MP1 does not identify which audio stream is the normal one, and which is the audio description (they are listed with the same name). So select the other audio stream to see if that enables the normal audio stream.

    Hi and thanks for the reply...

    Narration is always on by default when I install MP1 but it's simple to turn off in the settings, seems it's not the case with MP2 as everything is handled via the GUI a far lower level of control is available, basic audio settings are available but nothing that relates to the problem, maybe I have to look in the LAV filter settings instead.

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
