Hi,
a contrib to find audio_threshold on 500d. no success yet, and I have to go...

Indy

Nice! Now audio meter and audio remote shot work properly. :D
But, i don't understand. If audio_thresholds does not exist in 500D, what is 0xFF4631F4?

Edit (add):
Btw, there is audio_thresholds in ML for 500D non-unified version, pointed to 0xFF48E58C (firmware 1.1.0), and audio features work with no problems...

Edit (again):
Changed audio_thresholds address to 0xFF48E6AC. It gives similar effect to your fix, and audio remote shot works  with this address...

This sounds like great news, does this mean that we can look forward to a build for this soon?

I would like to thank Coutts for his work as it is great as usually :-).
I really like the new features including all the stuff displayed in the bottom bar in Live View and others.

For me, there wasn't any Err70, but I haven't played much with movies yet.

Only what I have discovered is that LCD sensor shortcuts like changing WB in Kelvins and adjusting LCD backlight aren't functional at all.

Coutts,

As a newcomer to this development, it occurred to me that maybe a different approach to the audio issues might be helpful. I'm not a programmer, so if this is off the mark, please ignore this post.

The T1i, without ML, naturally ports audio through the usb using a closed circuit that disables the speaker. For ML users (and folks that add the external mic input), it seems that what is important is added audio meters, audio triggering (enabled by the audio meters), and agc disabling. And, of those, the most important being agc disabling. If only meters and agc control are added, then the camera can do what it does naturally, audio usb out.

I realize that his does not address the live audio monitoring, certainly an important addition. My only thought was that whatever is disabling the playback audio, might be interfering with the real-time as well.

An over simplification for a complex problem, I know. Thanks again for your work.

Bug or not??
I am not sure if it is a bug or not. But it happened in ML 1.55beta version but not in ML 1.50 version.
While recording in video mode it is oftern stopped with a 100% filled buffering notice just at 16second everytime. Almost every time at 16S!!
What's the matter? because 20fps to 30fps matter?? Did anybody meet this problem before? Tell me how to solve the strange stuff.

I think to buy a 600D because I got a very good deal , but i am not shure if the all ML feature works like on 550D, like manual ISO, F & shutter speed in Video Mode.

Did the Magic Lantern for Canon EOS 600D have the same Features like 550D for the Video Recording and Time Lapse?
Is there a comparison list of all features that works with 550D/600D?

Thank you Alex.  ;)

I see that all the manual controls in video mode are like the 550D, now i should sell my 500D for buy a 600D. :)

Thanks anyway at all of you with this 500D ML, it is incredible how you change this camera.

That's right, the only major problem with 600D is audio (you can't change the analog volume at all). The slider from Canon menu is digital, i.e. it should be always at zero.

Look here for more info: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/all-things-audio/498727-agc-disable-magic-lantern-vs-juicedlink-2.html

I believe 600D is similar; at least users are having problems with it. The audio chip is different, so ML can't fix it yet.
