When tuning into a channel with multiple audio streams I get a still frame and no audio. By going one channel up (to a channel with only one audio stream) and then back again (Nickelodeon in this test), I get the video to start playing, but no audio, not even after selecting a different stream (which is displayed at the bottom).

Eveything else works perfectly fine, and I have seen this issue discussed before in other threads, but believed it had been resolved in the latest SVNs. As a side-note, but maybe it has some effect on this too, I am using MySQL instead of MS-SQL.

Client and server logs are attached...

I'm having a simular problem, but i never thought it could have anything to do with multiple audio-streams.

I'm having the problem with Discovery Civilisation, Discovery Science & Animal Planet. Same problem as you discribe: tuning to the channel shows a freezing image, but sometimes it displays correctly, but never audio on any of these channels. Was thinking it had something to do with the signal, but that's 100% so i'm very curious to the solution of this since i even reinstalled Vista + MP to figure out if it was something in the configuration!

Any help much appreciated

Im having the same problem on the exact same channels as you mention. Have tried with different codecs without any luck.
Would really appreciate some help.

Try connectiong to the remote graph in graphedit and seeing if the audio pin is connected to a decoder.
Also Mercbac, can you turn off the Cyrmage plugin logging ro disable the plugin.
Your log is full of LCD/VFD verbose information which makes this hard to read & track-down.

Tried that but that doesn't give me anything back. Window stays empty, even after refresh. (Same like Mercbac says)

Well, I have at least switched off the verbose log outputs from the CybrDisplay plugin, so my logs are much easier to read now. However, when I start Graphedit and click on "connect to remote graph" I get an empty window. Even clicking on "refresh" when MP is running in Windowed mode (as opposed to fullscreen) does not show any remote graph to connect to. I did run the batch file that came with the graphedit download and that registers a number of ax_ files via regserv32.

Logs are attached, but now I'm curious why graphedit did not show anything for me.

After downloading another version of GraphEdit (GraphEditPlus 1.1.0), I still don't see anything to connect to when MP is running. I even tried restarting GraphEdit while MP was showing me Nickelodeon without audio. I have captured new logs and attached them.
Any help will be very much appreciated, since this is the last showstopper standing in the way of moving my new dedicated HTPC into the living room.
