Thanks for helps - I could see I was accessing the ogg version in my
browsers and
when I set my speaker config correctly I can get multichanel audio
from the html5 page no
problem. Well there is a problem and that is the file order - with a
5.1 config set in OSX
im seeing a LCRLsRsLFE playback but im not able to save this as a
config and to add
to that Quicktime and VLC only play out tracks 12 and 5 - but I can
change to
quad playback and then all 4 tracks are routed correctly.
This is similar problem Ive always had with SoundofSpace AAC files
which use the
CLRLsRsLFE order but again I can use the Quad playback to fix the
order. Id much
prefer the ITU spec of LRCLFELsRs as that seems to be a sort of
common standard
On the main site Ive never been able to get a player to load with the
AC3 play now option
though I can download them and play back dolby digital in VLC and
quicktime through my Yamaha
home decoder. Using VLC is easily the best because it has its own
encoded stereo option which saves changing
overall options and I can it triggers the yamaha recieving it.
Quicktime does work though but only if you
go into the terminal and set up ac3 passthrough?? hence I use VLC
for AC3.
AC3 in OSX appears to always download rather than just playthrough -
it will open and play in VLC but
only after downloading as well. My use of AC3's has been mainly dvds
for film or straight audio
for multispeaker installs ignoring 5.1 - there is an answer to the
download issue as you can
save a vlc playlist and post as an m3u containing the urls to avoid
ac3 downloads though ive only just tried that out.
So I dont see a particular browser problem though we are dealing with
computer and receiver set ups -
I originally wanted to be able to stream 4 channel files into
soundflower without any need - for people to reset or guess channel
order and with Ogg files the computer tended to mess with the order
but when I used a QTreference file as the link the channel order was
not messed with anymore - this was only tested in OSX and XP at the time
hope this is of help to someone -

Hi Mick,
If you are talking about this page:
http://soundofspace.com/static/test_html5.html
then all feeds are 5.1 .... if you are hearing stereo it is your
browser
that has decided to interpret the 5.1 feed as stereo. Any settings
for that
would be browser side.
But to find out which of the three files the browser has chosen to
use is
difficult. On Firefox 8, I can right click on the player and do
'copy audio
location' .... (the file is the ogg one). This doesn't work on
Safari...
not sure about Explorer
good question though .... there must be a way.

Etienne -
I can play back stereo from your player in firefox3 and Safari but
not 5.1
- my
5.1 box doesnt see dolby digital just stereo. Is there any way of
telling
which
feed my browser accesses?
