I was wondering if 5.1 sound works for everyone. I have my mac pro hooked up using my receiver but I can't seem to get 5.1 dd or dts working. When the movie file plays, I don't hear anything. I set up the audio hardware in XBMC to output using the digital audio output and nothing happens. I can only get sound in the videos to play if I choose analog. I can hear the system sounds but never during video playback. I tested out the same video in VLC and selected output to ac3 in the preferences and it's able to playback the movie with 5.1 sound. I was just wondering if anyone is having the same problem. I connect my mac to the receiver using a digital coaxial cable. If I can't play back my vids in 5.1 surround it's cool, but I would really like to be able to since I have the hardware. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Thanks Elan for all your hard work. XBMC is great on the xbox and it's freakin awesome on OSX. Hi guys. I was wondering if 5.1 sound works for everyone.

Depending on where you downloaded AMT from, it probably won't, because only bleeding edge versions have the OS X binary libraries needed, which is why I included it. @platanito21: Check the Trac site, I've been trying to organize the roadmap a bit so that people can see what's coming when, and vote on bug-fixes/features by adding comments to the Tickets. @phunkysai: The core reason for the instability for the scripts in general Python-related code inside XBMC.
