All,
I have a question regarding the audio encoding of BBC IPlayer Content.
When I watch any Music / TV / Video using my computer (I use MediaPortal, but the same it the case with WMP etc), my amplifier will automatically detect the audio type and configure as appropriate (e.g. DD, DTS HD, Stereo, Dolby Surround, etc).
However, whenever I watch something using BBC IPlayer (whether that be using the MediaPortal Online Videos Plugin, or using the IPlayer software itself) it always plays in stereo. If I manually change the audio type to Dolby Surround, then the audio seems correct (so it is encoded with the appropriate surround information), but why doesn't the amp configure itself automatically?
Is it something to do with the way BBC encode the video, or a problem with my setup?
Thanks
