TrueHD inside MKV

[jeroenh]

Hi,

I've read the PCH A-110 is supposed to support TrueHD?

seems to me like I have an issue with that... There is no audio track available according to the PCH. I've noticed this while the file started and I pressed the 'i' button on my remote. It just lists "Audio: - "

anyone an idea?

I think that's only true for m2ts format. From mkv it's not working currently.

Not supported on any MKV presently. Will hopefully be introduced on the 8643 chipset player and if possible ported back to the 8635 NMT.

TrueHD in an MKV has only been supported by haali since December 09. Until the HD audio in singlefile player bug on the C-200 is fiixed work cannot start on this.

Strange, DTS-MA seems to play fine (but I guess it's just DTS that leaves the PCH and not DTS-MA?).
So m2ts is an alternative regarding HD audio on the PCH?

I'm also interested to see if/when the Popcorn Hour will support HD Audio formats (True-HD, DTS-MA) inside MKVs. Would love the A110 to support them, but if that's not possible it would be good to see the A200 step up to the job.

Thanks.

So what's the final verdict, is DTS-MA inside MKV supported by A110 ?
jeroen, can you check if you get DTS-MA indication on your receiver ?

When I play an mkv with DTS-MA, my PCH info screen reports that it's playing DTS audio at 3Mbps. My receiver says DTS, but I'm not sure what it's actually receiving.
