[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 828040, member: 82144"] Hi findftp If you have "prefer AC-3" sound ticked and "prefer audiotype over language unticked" then my understanding is that the stream selection logic should be as follows: 1. Are there any streams with languages matching any preferred language? If "yes", discard streams that don't match preferred languages and go to step 2. If "no", go to step 3. 2. Prioritise the remaing streams according to language priority and select the stream(s) with the highest priority available. If there is only one stream for the highest prioritised language then choose that stream. If there are mulitple streams with the same same highest prioritised language then discard the streams for the other languages and go to step 3. 3. Prioritise the remaining streams by stream type - if the stream is AC3/DD then it is higher priority than AAC and MPEG streams. If there is only one AC3/DD stream then choose that stream. If there are multiple AC3/DD streams then choose the first one. If there are no AC3/DD streams then just choose the first [non AC3/DD] stream. Here is an [unrealistic] example. Say you have a channel with the following streams: 1. deu/AC3 2. deu/AC3 3. eng/AC3 4. ita/AC3 5. deu/MPEG 6. eng/MPEG 7. ita/MPEG Language priorities are: 1. fre 2. deu 3. eng Prefer AC-3 is ticked. Prefer audiotype over language is unticked. Now we apply the logic: - In step 1 we discard streams 4 and 7 since they don't match any preferred language. - In step 2 we discard streams 3 and 6 since they don't match the highest priority language which is available (deu). - In step 3 we first discard stream 5 since we prefer AC3/DD audio, then we select stream 1 as it is the first AC3/DD stream. A little tricky but hopefully you can follow that logic.
