Description

Some MKV files with "Dolby Digital (AC-3) stereo" or "Dolby Digital (AC-3) 5.1" drop audio at reproducible points in movie. Boxee Box is hooked up via HDMI to a TV that can only play stereo.

This torrent file drops audio at ~45:45 into the video. http://torrent.zoink.it/Dexter.S04E01.720p.HDTV.x264-aAF.[eztv].torrent

Does it seem like the receiver actually looses the signal or does the audio just cut out for a while?

It is tough to say. It is hooked up to a TV that doesn't give me an indication one way or another.

FYI drop outs at specific points are bad encodes

I believe you, but VLC handles them without issue...

edit: If they really are bad encodes, I can't blame Boxee if they aren't gracefully handling whatever nuances exists in this file. However, It would be great if they could handle them nicely like VLC.

It would help us reproduce and fix the issue if you could please upload the file or a file sample to the "incoming" directory at
ftp://ftp.boxee.tv
user: dropbox
pass: swA4EQAt

Before uploading, Rename the file to include the issue number in its file name.
This is a write only FTP, and other people will not see your files.
You can use the FTP client from http://filezilla-project.org/
