What am I doing wrong... (1 Viewer)

[jorgen]

When I watch Live TV from the TVserver engine, I’m not able to make AC3 SPDIF pass-through to work. It’s so annoying…
Everything else in Media Portal is working great, when I watch DVD or Movie the AC3 works just fine. Any ideas? I’m not sure if this is a mediaportal bug, or a big bug with a remote 

What am I doing wrong?

You probably use another codec for Television. Go to configuration and check which codecs you use in DVD. If possible, use them for Television too.

Already checked the Codecs. I’ve tried with the MPA codec (same settings in DVD, Movie, and TV.) I saw some earlier contribution that when the TV engine is used, the settings for the movie codec are the one in use. I don’t know if this is the way the TV server plugin works?
I’ve also tried ffdshow audio codec, and AC3 filter. settings for SPDIF pass-through without success

The Television settings are still in use when the TV Plugin is installed.
I have this same problem in Vista but not XP. I need to change the audio renderer to SPDIF or else no audio codec is allowed to use it.

The audio renderer is set to SPDIF...

Here comes som LOG info, if this can help anyone...
