Playing an audio file with Dolby sound works fine in Windows, playing through MediaPortal 2 I can only get stereo sound.

    You can switch audio streams from OSD or player config dialog (info key), if a video contains multiple audio streams.
    Then there is a setting (settings - players - video player) to prefer multichannel streams.
    Finally the LAV audio decoder must be configured to pass through AC3 streams. This is done in the LAV codec settings (can be accessed from Windows start menu)

I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

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...

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...
