Bug#993806: Fwd: Bug#993806: kodi: No audio on DVD playback, AC3 Support
package kodi clone 993806 -1 submitter -1 Markus Koller retitle -1 kodi: no audio when AAC to AC3 transcoding thanks I clone the bug report to account for the fact the AAC to AC3 transcoding is a recent issue while the DVD audio missing is an older one on Debian. So different bugs.

Dear colleagues, I have a monthly break in the travels and I am going to package Alpha3/4 and sort the issues spotted by all of you. Please prepare your 19.4 profile backups before testing 20. There will be probably several rounds of unofficial builds signed with my GPG key that will be replaced by official upload once the bugs are fixed. -- Vasyl Gello == Certified SolidWorks Expert Mob.:+380 (98) 465 66 77 E-Mail: vasek.ge...@gmail.com == 호랑이는 죽어서 가죽을 남기고 사람은 죽어서 이름을 남긴다

Hey Alban, I ended up switching to the Flatpak version of Kodi to avoid these issues, so unfortunately I can't easily test (especially since I'm also using sid, which I see is on an alpha version of Kodi 20 now). > How did you do AC3 to AAC transcoding (playing DVD with kodi 19?). It was the other way around, transcoding from AAC to AC3. You can achieve that by disabling AAC passthrough for Pulseaudio via pavucontrol, and enabling the AC3 transcoding setting in Kodi. IIRC it only affected source files with AAC tracks, normal AC3 passthrough still worked. > Mind that upstream kodi ships ffmpeg 4.3.2 so maybe ffmpeg version > above that one has a regression (since fixed in ffmpeg 5.1 because > debian kodi 20 with debian ffmpeg 5.1 has DVD audio working). > So maybe it was this debian ffmpeg 4.3.2 that you reverted to back > then, hard to tell. I checked my dpkg logs but they don't go back far enough :( FWIW the Flatpak version of Kodi 19.4-Matrix seems to ship with ffmpeg 4.3.4. > (maybe pipewire supports passwthrough nowadays, hard to tell) It actually does! But I found it to be buggy (especially with E-AC3 and DTS), so I'm staying on Pulseaudio for now. Greetings, Markus
