When I try to play one of these files,.. the mythtv frontend ( on a combined backend/ frontend,. running 18.04 Linux with 29.1... plus all updates... ) just dies,... However,.. trying the same with vlc,.. the files play without issue.
see log of frontend log as follows at end:
Now as far as I can tell, IMHO,. the issue is to do with mythtv not being able to handle to AC3 audio stream,.. ( which I know is not true ),...
I have found the frontend audio setups with the audio setup bits in,.. and although AC3 and E-AC3 exists ( and others ) in the list.. mythtv will not let me scroll down to that option and enable that codec,... is there another step I need to invoke in order to successfully play my mkv's.
do I need to load the codec?
Is anyone able to offer some help suggestions...
Many tx
