Hi,
It seems VDR chooses the wrong language on some transmission for some reason. I have three favourite languages (i.e,. "Äänen kielet: 3") chosen in VDR: Finnish, Swedish ang english. On the Finnish Broadcasting Networks YLE2 Olympics, VDR chooses the Swedish commentary for some reason, and I need to manually choose the Finnish one every time. I have VDR 1.3.42 (compiled on Debian stable/testing/unstable) and a DVB-C card (Technisat Cablestar2). I live in the Oulu region.
Is the problem with the transmission (YLE/OPOY), my settings, or could this be a VDR bug? I haven't noticed this problem on any other channels (like YLE1 and YLE24) when they are transmitting both Swedish and Finnish commentary.
Has anyone else here (using VDR in the Oulu DVB-C nerwork) noticed this problem, or the lack of?

I noticed the discussion "Audio channel problem" right after my posting. Maybe these problems are related?
When switching audio channel, I (too) only see numbers one and two. It seems VDR chooses 1 as the default always, but on YLE2 Olympics the Finnish commentary is on track 2 (and the Swedish on track 1). I can't confirm this now since YLE2 is the only channel sending two different audio channels at the moment.
So, maybe I should try this patch and see what it does on DVB-C, too?

Exactly the same problem here too with the Olympics. Also in dnaTV DVB-C network (Oulu). Using VDR 1.3.38.

The actual problem was in cDevice::AttachPlayer().
Please try the attached patch (and revert to the original code in SetTrackDescriptions() in case you have applied Rolf's patch).
If this doesn't help, please provide the channels.conf entry of the channel, together with the epg.data entry of an event where you have different audio languages.

Hi,
The patch seems to work perfectly!
Well, it works for me at least for the Men's Slalom running just now. Even the labels are correct (swe & fin, and the latter one selected as default and contains the right language). Also, before applying the patch I noticed the EPG was also in Swedish (I hadn't noticed that before). It seems to be corrected with the patch above, too, or then it was something else.
I also tried recording, and it seems it still automatically chooses swedish. The audio choises for recordings are 2xfin (and "fin & 2" for recordings made before applying your patch, it seems). The second "fin" get's selected (but contains the Swedish commentary) for default.
I don't think I'll be recording anything from these Olympics, so it doesn't really matter for me, but if you need someone to test your patches I sure can do that ;). Thanks!

If you encounter any case where the labels are wrong, please send me the channels.conf entry of that channel, the info.vdr file of the recording and the corresponding entry from the epg.data file.
Note that automatic laguage selection for replay doesn't work, yet.
