MediaInfo 0.7.82 does not display Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 Tracks correctly. It displays them as 5.1 channels although they actually contain 8 channels.

I don't catch well when E-AC-3 and AC-3 are interleaved.
when checking the stream, I see an AC-3 frame 5.1, an E-AC-3 frame 5.1 + extension to 7.1.
ha, and it is lossless and I actually don't know how to detect the lossless. I need to see if I can catch lossless info.
Any news on this?
I did not get the time for working on this issue. I (the main developer) am busy with paid support and free support comes after paid support, but I accept patch from anyone, people if you read this, don't hesitate to help.
Hi, I'm actually falling on the same bug, did you have a chance to correct this?
