When I originally started with the HDPVR, I had to compile my own copy of FAAD2 or else mythfrontend would crash trying to play it. It needed a configure option that later I found was enabled in the livna package. When AC3 support was released for the HDPVR, I went back to using the atrpms version, just to satisfy the dependency.<br>
<br>When recording AC3 from the optical connector, the HDPVR automatically records AC3. You can set AC3 In the recording profile page of mythfrontend settings, This setting affects the analog input as well as the SPDIF if it is getting PCM in.<br>

<div>Hi, Richard,<br></div>
<div>I checked my recording profiles for my hdpvr, and all of them already had the audio codec set to AC3. However, I checked the actual setting of the audio_encoding parameter:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>[root@scorpio ~]# v4l2-ctl -C audio_encoding<br>audio_encoding: 3</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The 3 setting is for AAC, like you said was being recorded, so I'm thinking maybe there is some sort of glitch where mythtv isn't setting the audio_encoding parameter of the hdpvr driver properly based on the audio codec in the recording profiles. I manually flipped the setting to 4 (AC3), and now it seems to be working just fine, so at the very least I now have a functional workaround. </div>

<div>Thanks for a nudge in the right direction!</div>
