XBMC4Xbox

I just tested mplayer and it works fine in mplayer.

Replying to lexi81:

AAC 5.1 audio stream centre channel is mapped to right front speaker. Mapping of other channels unsure. Happens when played with dvdplayer, mplayer status unknown, mainline unknown.
SVN 30643 (craig's build)

Mind testing an older version of xbmc4xbox? I think it's related to us dropping libfaad for AAC decoding.

@Exobuzz: Any ideas?

I'll try a build from before this: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/xbmc4xbox/changeset/30392

I might be able to do it tonight, not sure though. The above link seems to be related anyway, is libfaad still used in mplayer?

hmmm, it seems this is also interesting:

https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/xbmc4xbox/changeset/30496

a build from januari the 4th (r30384 I think) plays proper 5.1 with mplayer and 2.0 downmix with dvdplayer.

needs some channel mapping code I guess. xbmc.org mainline used to have similar issues. I'm already looking into this stuff, no eta. use mplayer in the meantime i guess.

For now I'm going to set this to future/pending.

If we brought back libfaad, then these files would play but in stereo as has been pointed out. also many videos with aac would not play at all (there were lots of problems before with videos with no sound with aac etc which using ffmpeg has solved - people used to delete the faad library so it would fall back on ffmpeg which did a better job).

As this plays with mplayer ok, I would like to keep it as we are for now, and look it after the 3.0 release. Overall AAC is better now than it was before with dvdplayer.

I decided to have a stab at this after all. From a test file from the same source, the channel mapping for 5.1 aac seems correct now. Please try a build from r30676 or newer and let me know if it solves it for you.
