[mythtv-users] Stuttering audio with DTS passthrough in 0.22-fixes

[Kevin Ross]

Hello everyone,

I have always used mplayer as my preferred media player in MythTV, but I 
thought I would try out the internal player.  It integrates nicely with 
MythTV for a consistent look and feel, but I have problems on BluRay 
rips with DTS tracks.  I have DTS passthrough enabled (as well as AC3 
passthrough), which works fine with mplayer, but with the internal 
player I get stuttering audio.  Movies with AC3 tracks play fine with 
AC3 passthrough.

Here's a 20-second test clip in case someone wants to try it:

I get identical results with VDPAU and CPU+ profiles.  BTW, I had to 
increase the VDPAU buffer size to 23 to be able to play all my movies 
(with DTS passthrough disabled).

Anyone else having this problem?

ZOTAC GF8200-C-E AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
