Description ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2011-10-27 22:11:53 UTC 
You can select the different audio tracks of a file, but the audio does not switch. Seems only the last track is always played, regardless of what audio track is selected in the menu.

I am experiencing this on all .mkv's with more than 1 audio track.

This is fixed in current SVN.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a movie with more than 1 audio track
2. switch between tracks
3.

1.0.5_beta1 in Portage which should include it then.

if not, be more specific about what commit is fixing this.
Comment 2 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2011-11-19 17:12:26 UTC 
Unfortunately it is not fixed... I thought it was about svn r2143, but as I've seen now r2143 is even before gnome-mplayer-1.0.4.

I suppose the only possibility left is, that this is an mplayer-bug, or some problem due to mplayer <-> gnome-mplayer interaction.

On my other machine where audio-swichting works in gnome-mplayer SVN I also run a SVN-version of mplayer.
Comment 3 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2011-11-19 18:09:35 UTC 
Sorry, wrong information - it has nothing to do with the fix from SVN r2143. This in no AC3-passthroug issue, happens with videos with ogg or mp3 audiotracks too.
Comment 4 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2011-12-14 17:35:28 UTC 
ok, finally found some time to do systematic testing. I used following combinations:

media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20110322-r1   amd64
media-video/mplayer2-2.0                   amd64
media-video/gnome-mplayer-1.0.4            amd64
media-video/gnome-mplayer-1.0.5_beta1      ~amd64

The results in short:

SWICHTING AUDIO TRACKS WORKS:

gnome-mplayer-1.0.4 + mplayer2-2.0
gnome-mplayer-1.0.5_beta1 + mplayer2-2.0

SWICHTING AUDIO TRACKS DOES NOT WORK:

gnome-mplayer-1.0.4 + mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20110322-r1
gnome-mplayer-1.0.5_beta1 +mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20110322-r1


It is obvious that non-working audio-track-switching is due to an interaction with mplayer. Using mplayer2 works fine with >=gnome-mplayer-1.0.4, using mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20110322-r1 does NOT. Workaround is clear: simply use mplayer2.

Should I file a new mplayer-bug or will you re-open this one?
Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-14 17:54:14 UTC 
reopened.  we really need a new mplayer snapshot anyway...
Comment 6 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-15 16:34:02 UTC 
How is gnome-mplayer with mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20111215 ? The snapshot that was added to Portage today.
Comment 7 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2011-12-18 15:15:50 UTC 
yes, I can confirm it works. with both gnome-mplayer-1.0.4 and 1.0.5_beta1.
Comment 8 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-20 16:30:09 UTC 
fixed by mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20111215 then, closing.  it will be stabilized after normal 30 days or so (by normal course of action, no need to push it faster for this minor'ish bug)

thanks for testing!
