Re: General AC3 Delay

So given the audio sync delay settings seem to have no effect and can cause audio to drop completely on channel change is this something that can be fixed going forward ?

Is this something that just comes down from the main enigma2 code or local update ?

I think it is possibly a bug though if you choose

Bouquets = "Favorites"
Channels = "WIN Canberra"

You get WIN Canberra & WIN Canberra HD

The reverse delivers just WIN Canberra HD.
