@Equusz: Not that I know of, but there have been player changes, so please feel free to retest.

@John: Barkley’s lack of opposable thumbs make it very hard for him to code in anything but Ruby.

@tokyovigilante: Keep me posted, very excited about your work!

@Drel: Bullmastiff+Rhodesian or Bullmastiff+American Staff, not completely sure.

What type/breed of dog is Barkley? He’s awfully cute.

Hi tokyo, thanks for your fix man, it’s helped me alot.

Funnily enough I was trying to transcode AC3 to AAC 5.1 with Aften but didn’t have much luck. The audio that came out sounded really high pitched. I was using BeSweet Bass (AAC) to Aften (AC3). Hope you have been luck than me

I *think* I can get AC3 encoding working from any source, not just from AAC 5.1. I’m looking at integrating an open-source AC3 encoder called Aften (aften.sourceforge.net) into elan’s PortAudio code. I might need a coupla weekends though.

Excellent that the AAC 5.1 issue has a temporary quick fix… Ive been trying to convert it to AC3 without any success so this is a welcome fix.

Im hoping that full AAC 5.1 support won’t be far behind?

Congrats on a great piece of software.

@eduo
I’ve added feature request to switch audio streams by pressing ‘a’ on the keyboard. There are some other things that I need to put together… NextSubtitle seems… broken, and audio stream switching has some problems too.

Confirm that playing DVD over SMB still does not work. However if use mac’s SMB (by creating an alias to a remote folder in my home directory and adding my home directory as an XMBC’s video source) the same DVD plays fine.

@eduo

That will probably be part of the bug report. I’ve got a lot on my plate for after I get home tonight.

@bmfrosty

I’ll check the keymap.xml file. I planned to do so anyway but I wrote the earlier one from the office and wanted to see if it was common. I guess it really isn’t.

About the subtitles, I’m really surprised the subtitle cycler doesn’t include “no subtitle” as one of its options. Sounds logical to me

Hello, if anyone can confirm that AEON skin is not showing “Now Playing” in Music category correctly in OSXBMC….for some reason I’m getting black screen instead of Now playing window( http://idisk.mac.com/sebastianzz/Public/xbmc.jpg )
BTW Thank’s for the update Elan.
