Recommended way to setup ac3filter to spdif out?

[lovingHDTV]

What is the SageTV recommended way to setup the included ac3filter to use spdif passthrough? I find that I have to download filter graph, render a video file, right click, hit properties and set it there. This is becuase the included filter from Sage does not include the configuration tool, nor provide a means to configure it from within Sage.

I can't imagine this is what is expected for all users to do?

thanks,

Are you feeding it into a receiver? Do you have Windows Media Player 10 installed? If so, open it up, go into the Tools menu and select "Options..." This will open up a window for you with a bunch of tabs across the top. Select the DVD tab. You want the Advanced tab at the bottom. For me, at least, using the NVidia decoders, this will open up a configuration screen for the audio decoder. It contains a speaker setup menu that allows you to select speaker type Receiver" and a checkbox for Output using S/PDIF cable. You should be good to go after that

Thanks, I'll take a look, did not think to look inside WMP.

I've done this but I'm still not getting 5.1 from my spdif output. I've tried the version of the purevideo on the cd I got from pc alchemy, 1.0.5? and I've tried the latest versions downloaded from the internet. I notice if I play a dvd with the intervideo windvd 7 I get 5.1 to my receiver but not playing the same dvd using wmp or sage. Thoughts?
