Hi, when xine-ui addresses a Video DVD containing more than one audio tracks in different languages you can easily switch between several audio tracks. My idea / deapest wish would be to integrate a similar audio track switching possibility for xine-ui addressing DVB TV. As you all know there are several digital TV stations being spread that are bilingual or even trilingual. At the same time xine-ui is definitely capable of addressing a channels.conf in vdr format (as opposed to mplayer which is NOT capable of doing that). But if you address a channels.conf in vdr format which owes more than one audio PID separated by a comma using xine-ui, only the first audio PID is automatically taken. No chance to change / switch the audio channel of the broadcast! Somewhere in the source code I read that the audio PID isn't even needed to correctly address a channels.conf with xine-ui. That complicates my desire enormously, so I do not have any idea where I could at least try to imply something like a patchwork. I would appreciate someone reading that being technically more capable than I am to offer us a patch for making this audio channel switching function available. Please do not offer me nonsense answers like "use kaffeine please!" or similar. I hate KDE and that's why I want to avoid things like kaffeine and look DVB TV with xine-ui instead without losing functionalities. Above from that a command line switch for producing mpeg PES files (i. e. recording function) would also be a very good idea for xine-ui. At the current state xine can record unusable mpeg TS files which no cutting software can make use of. So there should be mpeg PS streams as output instead of that, shouldn't there? Best with command line switch. Can someone help and offer patches please? Regards Uwe |
