Thanks EB. yes I have tried that. I think I mentioned it in my ac3 post. When you change the audio pid that channel will not stream atleast not for me. I did find this code work that a guy did that is suppossed to cycle thru the audio pids. I'll post the link here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] however I'm not sure where to put the code inside the structure of the vlc pop up code. I think you are better at the code structure stuff than me let me know...he says it works.......
