This is what I have just noticed.

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.

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

Okay, in recorded shows, channel 7 only shows the one audio track (which is correct). Pressing +/- keys only shows "Audio track 1"

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.

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.

Hope it helps .... now to catch up on some shows ....seeyas


I concur. Seems to be only live TV. None of my recordings so far, have been missing audio. However, trying your example, if I tune to channel 9, select track 1, then tune to 7, I get no audio. In fact, whilst on 7, I can switch between track 2 (audio) and track 1 (no audio).

Also note, the suggestions around earlier, about changing to TS instead of PS, seemed to make no difference.
