Ok I know a bluray player isn't the best file player solution. But I am interested in getting my Sony BDP-s1100 fully accessorized.
I just bought a toshiba 2tb harddrive and I loaded a muxed bluray rip (into a m2ts file via tsmuxer) and it played the 25gb movie only file just fine - its a powered external usb drive fyi. However the dts track only plays in stereo over usb.
Obviously I am not looking to go into avchd with a 25gb uncompressed bluray rip (ok I know bluray isn't really uncompressed but I mean I haven't compressed it any further). Although I guess its hit or miss if some players can handle dts in a avchd structure anyway.
I did convert the track to ac3 640kpbs and it worked great in 5.1 (albeit I got the wrong language track so I'll have to reconvert but the proof of concept worked in surround sound via ac3 a-ok). SO it can do 5.1 over usb it just doesn't seem to want to do dts. Fyi it was downconverted dts - downconverted via tsmuxer in the main muxing passing.
Could something have happened in the muxing process with tsmuxer when the dts core was taken? Should I just pull the dts core with eac3to from original bluray rip that I still have on my harddrive?
Or is this not possible with my sony bluray player?
Also I'm tempted to do the conversion to ac3 anyway to save a gig or so per movie even though the 2tb drive is monstrous (ok 1.8tb formatted or so but you know what I mean).
I did go through the audio settings but didn't see any bitstream options. The darndest thing is it will play dts off of plain old dvds just fine and will recognize dts-ma off of professional pressed blurays aok (my player is connected via digital coax to my non-hdmi amp). So the point is I can play dts off of disc sources just fine and they read and play in multichannel surround sound as they are supposed to.
The problem is dts on a file on a usb drive is only playing back in stereo even though when I hit the display button on the player it shows its a 5.1 dts track as its supposed to be.
Is this an inherent problem with standard issue non modified bluray players these days? I bought the player brand new at Target the other week. The manual has a 2013 print date so I'm assuming its a recent model.
As stated I may just go ahead and take the extra time to process to ac3 anyway to save space on my dts-ma discs but if I could use the dts cores and get 5.1 surround sound out of them it would save time on my rip and encode and copy to usb drive process (since tsmuxer has an extract core option in it).
I haven't done a full internet search yet on this issue but I thought I'd check here first to see if this dts issue is common and I should just give up and convert to ac3 640kpbs anyway.
Thanks.
By the way I loved it when I copied the 25gb muxed file onto the new 2tb drive and the space indicator in the my computer window didn't even show a blip of used space - MASSIVE! :) :) Though I could still see myself picking up another 2tb in the not too distant future.
