I have it normally connected to Comcast cable which should pipe

automatically so that the audio stops working. If I manually change
VDR
to not auto update and put the APID in then it squeeks rather than
works. However, streaming to mplayer using streamdev seems to work.
(It
does the same this with OTA channels too - although I can only get 4
with a portable antenna.)

ATSC uses only AC-3 audio, so the Apid should be 0 and the Dpid
needs to
be set appropriately. Since the sound squeaks, whatever value you have
set for the Apid should be the Dpid.

For example,

WIFR-Wx:495000:M256:C:0:1984:0;Dpid:0:0:2:0:0:0


Perfect... Thanks

Is there a way to keep auto update on, but stop Comcast from sending
wrong pids?  It keeps settings all audio options to 0 and some vpids
too?

The streamtype for those AC3 PIDs is 0x81. Adding this to pat.c will
add the digital PIDs correctly.

Perfect.  I wonder if this could go in the atscepg patch?

Can you try if this also works if you insert the line

                case 0x81:             // AC3 DPIDs

after the line

                //XXX case 8: // STREAMTYPE_13818_DSMCC

instead? I'm asking because I'd like to see whether there are
also language descriptors available...

Klaus

Yes, language descriptors are present. However, ATSC also uses 0x81 as the AC3 descriptor tag. So we need another

case 0x81:

after

case SI::AC3DescriptorTag:
