Hi.
I'll repeat myself as it seems that nobody read my last message posted few weeks ago.
I can't find feature that prefers always Dolby Digital/DTS track, even there it's not preferred language (on dolby digital), and there is MPEG track in preferred languages.
Some channels (like canal+) has 4 MPEG audio tracks (fin, swe, nor, dan) and one DD-track (which is eng or nor, depending on channel). I have 2 preferred languages; finnish as primary and english as secondary. VDR always chooses finnish MPEG-audio as default audio track. Setting norwegian as preferred track is not an option, as there are many mpeg-only channels that have norwegian audio. Setting english as primary language worked for such channels that have dolby track as "english" language.
I would like to _ALWAYS_ prefer dolby digital (if present) track as default, even if it's not on preferred languages.
I tried to patch this myself and got dolby digital selected if present, but got no audio (or crashed =) at all if there wasn't dd track available =)

What about contacting the provider and asking them why they don't set the language code for the DD track correctly?

What if it is correctly? =)
So there is 2 same languages, other in MPEG (total of 4 different) and other in AC3 (only one track).

Then VDR would take the proper DD track if you have previously switched to a DD track ;-)

Hmm.
Doesn't work for me.
If i switch to CANAL+FILM: CANAL+ FILM;Telenor:11278:v:S1.0W:24500:512:652=nor,653=fin,650=sve,651=dan;654=eng:576:B00:301:70:3:0
Then I choose dolby track, then switch to canal+film2:
CANAL+ FILM 2;Telenor:11278:v:S1.0W:24500:515:682=nor,683=fin,680=sve,681=dan;679=nor:579:B00:308:70:3:0
it selects pid 683 as default track (MPEG).
Switching back to CANAL+FILM selects finnish (653, MPEG) as default audio.
currently i have only "fin" at preferred audio tracks. If a have "eng fin" then it selects dolby at canal+film, but not at canal+film2, where dolby language is "nor". And as i said earlier, puting preferred audio as "eng nor fin" is not an option, 'cos almost every canal digital channel has nor and fin languages.

To sum things up:
The current behavior is to pick the track with the highest language precedence, and if there are mpeg and DD tracks of this language available, decide on CurrentDolby status. (Imho thats a quite logical way to handle it.)
You want to give CurrentDolby a higher priority. How should this work? Assume there are mpeg tracks in your preferred language, but there is also a DD track in Swahili available. Do you still prefer this?
I guess the only way to resolve this in a flexible and consistent way is to extend the preferred language system: Allow to set preferred languages as 'any type', 'mpeg only' and 'dolby only'. In your case, the preferred language list could look like this:
Finnish (DD only) English (DD only) Norwegian (DD only) Finnish (any type) English (any type)
Thats just my 2c. I don't need this, so its up to you to convince Klaus or to find someone that develops a patch.
Cheers,
Udo

Yes, I would prefer _any_ dolby digital track over mpeg. Imho there should be an option to prefer dolby digital track in any condition.

Sound great. But if it should be this way, there should be option for this setup too:
Any language (DD or DTS only) Finnish (any type) English (any type)
;)

Wouldn't it be natural to remember the channel selection per channel? It will probably be a long preference list for dvb-s setups, but that's what we have computers for..
