Switch audio streams without restarting video

update

somehow we forgot to mention that we added audio track switching during playback, one of the most requested features since ages. it only works for matroska and mpeg containers for now and is still experimental, but it's a start. press the "#" key on a file with multiple audio tracks to try it out.

this makes it sound like it is now doable to do this in xbmc! from what i've seen of the mplayer core in xbmc this seems pretty easy to change. it certainly would feel a lot better.

thanks! :kickass:

we're only using 1.0pre6, and likely wont be supporting 1.0pre7. *read the following thread for more details: http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....t=12342 (http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=st;f=1;t=12342)

ohh yeah i remember that now :blush:. well the next time the mplayer core is updated i really would like this feature to be exploited.

agreed, it's something i would give my right arm for ;)

going to have to run and check out a win32 version of mplayer now.

but all good things come to those who wait ;)
