Specifying AC3Filter

[Blue]

Hey there,

I'm interested in adding an AC3Filter option to the MPEG2 Audio Decoder Filter list (Detailed Setup -> Audio). I thought I read somewhere how to do this, but I can't seem to find it in the forum.

I realize that I can set the MPEG2 Audio Decoder to Default, and as long as AC3Filter is configured as the default decoder (Filter Merit -> "Prefer AC3Filter" in the AC3Filter Properties dialog), SageTV will use AC3Filter. However, this option is causing a conflict elsewhere, so I'm looking for a way to use AC3Filter with SageTV when the "Prefer other decoder" option is enabled in the AC3Filter Properties dialog.

Thanks for your help!

It shows up automagically for me.

Just add AC3Filter to the additional_audio_filters line of the properties file.

Thanks guys...

For anyone else who is interested, I run SageTV as a service and at approximately line 230 of the SageClient.properties file the line should read:

videoframe/additional_audio_filters=AC3Filter

Note that you have to close SageTV (Alt+F4) before modifying this file.

But you don't need to stop the service for this change (since it's in the SageClient.properties file) FYI to others.
