Sounds good. I'm working with the system wide -aid 128. I will look for
a per movie solution later. Bigger fish to fry..trying to get the TV Out
on a PVR-350 is proving difficult and annoying. So close.

Thanks again.

I had the same problem with Spartan, except in this case, it would
always play the directors commentary, and not the primary audio track.

from a command line, if you do:

mplayer -ao null -vo null -v FILENAME.vob

you'll see a section showing all the audio tracks.. You'll see
something like this:

==> Found video stream: 0
==> Found audio stream: 129
==> Found audio stream: 128
==> Found subtitle: 5
==> Found subtitle: 4
==> Found subtitle: 1
==> Found subtitle: 0
MPEG Stream reached EOF

128 is US AC3 5.1


You could add "-aid 128" to your command line in MythVideo....

However, as soon as you change that in the MythVideo playback section,
now ALL videos be held to that, which means anything without that
audio track will have   <drum roll please> no audio, IE XVID, QT, etc.

The better solution I stumbled across while looking at the verbose
output. Turns out mplayer is checking $HOME/.mplayer/filename.ext.conf
for a config file specific to the file you're trying to play.

Here's what I saw:

get_path('Spartan.vob.conf') -> '/home/mythtv/.mplayer/Spartan.vob.conf'
Playing Spartan.vob.

So in /home/mythtv/.mplayer  I created a file, like below.


-rw-rw-r--   1 mythtv mythtv    8 Feb  2 21:24 Spartan.vob.conf

And in that file, I put:

aid=128

now when it plays Spartan, it uses -aid 128, and everything else is
normal.

Kinda cool to know, since now I can fix those movies that are
incorrectly aspected, etc, and not have to change a system wide
setting.

However, I still think there's something needing fixed on MythDVD
ripping process.

(most people log into their box as root, but then the frontend runs as
a different user. Remember to put the individual config file in
$HOME/.mplayer/ not /root/mplayer if that's the case for you)
