Tronsmart Vega s89 Standard/Elite FAQ - READ THIS FIRST

[spot0915]

Dont think any xbmc on android can pass through True-HD and DTS-HD audio signals

So why is Geekbuying stating

4 DTS-HD MA 5.1 HDMI passthrough—OK

for the Tronsmart Vega S89?
Are they lying?

Are they lying?

No, really I don't think so, but at the moment I don't know which player he use...?

EDIT:
OK "... enable passthrough on xbmc ..." hmmm, maybe a problem with your A/V-receiver and the box (incompatible)????

I have an Onkyo SR 706 which is capable of DD, DD True HD, DTS HD MA, etc....
If I connect my Dune HD Smart Mediaplayer to it via HDMI (same way as the Tronsmart) the AVR shows DTS HD MA when the audio track of the movie is a DTS HD MA track, it also shows other audio tracks correct (like movies with DD, DTS or DD True HD).
Connected to the Tronsmart it only shows "DD" and "DTS" tracks correct, as soon as I play a DTS HD MA Track, the Receiver shows "ES Discrete" (whatever that means)....

sometimes google is really helpful

=> maybe 6.1
I think that's maybe the problem...

EDIT
wiki say it is 6.1...

okay, so DTS HD MA played by xbmc on the tronsmart ist recognised by my AVR as DTS ES Discrete...well...nice to know...haha..,..thanks for checking it out....

The same file with the same audiotrack played by the Dune Smart HD is recognised by the AVR as DTS HD MA. That´s what the track is.

  • [*=left]NEW You can follow these instructions to make your Vega IR receiver work for any remote. This is very, very handy as I like to have my air mouse separate from my media center remote

That's look's like really interesting but where's the instruction ?
I see no link
thx a lot

remote control

it's possible to adjust the Vega IR remote? for example "media"button will launch xbmc not 4k player?

Yes its possible, the keyboard map file just needs to be updated. Its not my field of expertise by someone like finless may help.

You are downloading wrong file. Suppose to be *.apk.
e.g. http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/and...rmeabi-v7a.apk

or

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/arm/xbmc-20140607-6ba500c-master-armeabi-v7a.apk

Comming from a stock ROM you first have to uninstall XBMC en then install it. You'll loose all your settings without a backup though.
You can download a XBMC backup plugin (programs) that will backup your db etc.
Your error seems like some other problem - a currupted apk maybe? Just try to re-download

[Nowandlayda]

a few possible things could be causing this. First you don't have "package installer" as your default installer not "verify and install apps". Secondy under settings uncheck verify installed apps under security settings and also allow "unknown sources" in developer options. And lastly this can happen when you download from the non stock browser. To fix this go into your file manager (prefferably es file explorer) and find your download folder and click on the downloaded apk file.

[Genem]

Or download XBMC update tool from te playstore. That way you always get the right version.

[Nowandlayda]

no don't do that. The version that is best supported is xbmc helix alpha supplied by oman in the amlogic forum (sorry don't have link on hand).
