This is what I have just noticed.<br>
<br>
Let's look at channel 7 and 9 for now. Channel 7 has one track only, an
mp2 track. Channel 9 has two tracks, an mp2 track and an AC3 track. I
know this is correct because I've played with real set top boxes and
other DVB software.<br>
<br>
The problem is that in live tv, it is still possible to select from two
audio tracks in channel 7, even though it really only has one track.
Pressing +/- keys shows "Audio track 1" and "Audio track 2". One of the
tracks is real (the mp2 track), and the other track does not exist.
When changing from channel 9 (which has two tracks) to channel 7,
mythtv tries to use the same audio track, even if the channel doesn't
have that track.. hence sometimes there is no audio when changing
channels<br>
<br>
Okay, in recorded shows, channel 7 only shows the one audio track
(which is correct). Pressing +/- keys only shows "Audio track 1"<br>
<br>
0.18.1 and latest CVS has this problem. It must have something to do
with how mythtv handles the audio tracks when changing channels in live
tv mode. Repeat, it does not affect recorded shows.<br><br>
0.17 was fine, as far as I remember. So it must have something to do
with changes that have occured between then and now. Hopefully one of
the more knowledgable developers will find this information useful.<br>
<br>
Hope it helps .... now to catch up on some shows ....seeyas<br>

I am in Sydney, Australia. Channels 9 and 10 have both AC3 and mp2 for
SD. I use AC3 whenever possible because my external amplifier has a AC3
decoder.<br>
<br>
I get the same problem as you when changing from a channel using AC3 to a channel using mp2. For example, changing from 9 to 7.<br>
<br>
Changing recordings to use TS instead of PS makes no difference for me in live tv.<br>
<br>
I have had no problems with PS recordings either.<br><br><div><div><span class="e" id="q_105283d01d20bfaa_1"><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/10/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Matthew Carle</b> <<a href="mailto:matthew_carle@hotmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
