WDHD TV PLAYER Problem with DTS MKV files???

Site update - March 16th 2010

AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.

You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.

prob not. i just called western digital and if the audio codec is DTS the rep informed me that since this is an inexpensive open source device they will PROB NOT EVER provide DTS support. it cost to much for dts and then it would increase the price of the device.

The WDHD TV Player supports DTS only if it's from an AC3 core, other than it most likely won't be able to play the sound.

mmmm... taste like beefjerky
