Having Arte in frensh/german is not the only possible extension: AC3 (Dolby surround) is even more interesting for most people. What you want is probably not a TS but a PES with multiple sound channels, which could be done easily - as soon as I have rewritten the TS to PES converter (the current version is based on old Metzler bros. code). Unfortunately the support for multiple audio tracks in mplayer/xine/kaffeine is also insufficient, so zapdvb will have to learn a couple of new tricks to handle this by itself (on the fly selection from multiple audio channels). WHAT I DO NOT LIKE: zapdvb inherited some code from szap - including the format of the channel definitions. The original szap format did not allow multiple audio pids or even teletext. Each DVB player nowadays seems to define a private channel list format or to implement a private format extension. What about (re-)creating a common standard format? Thanks for the feedback Yours J?rgen By the way: could you send me a frensh translation of the gui text file (e.g zapdvb_gui_fr.lang)? There are many downloads from france so I would support the frensh translation in future.
