Thanks

Your post said you wanted to do DD transcoding and I know from research that the developers put that option in when you select 2 channels.

I select 5.1 and enable HDMI passthrough and run optical to avr denon receiver. That's the only way I can get passthrough to work. Receiver shows it is decoding DTS. But, if I unplug optical the audio is all static and DTS not displayed on receiver until I plug it in again. So the only way HDMI passthrough works is passing it through to optical.

This is a great forum and thanks to all for the input. Veronica did you ever find a decent emulator? Anyone? Preferably w/ XBMC...

How many channels do you have selected?

Oh my God it worked! I had to select only "2.0" channels in xbmc audio settings for "Enable Dolby Digital transcoding" option to appear. I don't remember doing so in the Windows version of XBMC. Anyway, I have quite a lot of movies with AAC 5.1 audio, and as you're well aware, they're downmixed to stereo since the receiver does not support AAC decoding. With that option enabled, they're transcoded to DD 5.1.

Thank you!

I'm looking to get DTS HD passthrough working, if that's possible. Here's my situation:

My M8 is connected via HDMI to an Onkyo A/V receiver capable of decoding DTS HD, TrueHD formats. In the device settings, under the Advanced tab, I've selected "HDMI passthrough".

In XBMC, as oman suggested, I had selected 7.1 as the number of channels. But still can't get that 'DTS HD capable receiver" option to appear.

Is it even possible to get DTS HD passthrough out of this box?

I am glad the info helped you... I doubt you will see (hear) DTS HD MA or TRUEHD from XBMC on a Android box. On the xbmc developers forum they discuss how that is not possible at this time until android and the hardware advance further.
I tried to make it work and got as far as the audio device listed in xbmc. This device needs to declare at least 8 pcm channels and declare the decode format. If you look at the first part of your xbmc.log you will find where the audio device is initialized (android) and channels and dataformats. I don't have my android listing or log of win7 that is working right now, but here is the format of your log to look for:

Data format needs to have TrueHD and DTSHD.

(the log above is from win7 and a 22inch monitor with no receiver but you should get he idea.)

Im not the only one, i have seen it come across stack overflow a few times as well. Most of us in the digital sigange world don't use amlogic due to that issue. It would be nice if someone would provide a fix or at least figure out what keeps it from crashing apps. I love the device and know what it can do but this one thing keeps this device from being better than any rockchip device we use. It works on rockchip without issues so can't be a coding problem on the apps.

Ok i try webview from play store see what i get.

Ummm with one seems to be a few lol

How to upgrade FW By TF card:
1.Unzip the zip/rar file,and copy 3 files(105k4.zip,recovery.img,factory_update_param. aml) to TF card Root directory;
2.Plug in the TF card and Power line,then pressing the button in the AV hole,then press power button,then release button in the AV hole.
3.OK,it will be into update process.

So how to upgrade via USB ?
Maybe a noob question but I don't understand why there is instruction for TF card and for USB not.
I downloaded 108k4 and USB Burning Tool but I don't know what should I do next. If this is more complicated than TF card I will use TF card (micro SD with adapter is OK ?).
Card has to be empty (only this FW) or can have also some data on it ?

"pressing the button in the AV hole" - press the button once and hold ?? When exactly should I release this button, right away after pressing power button or wait longer ?

----
OK I updated.

In cvbs mode,it can be 480p/576P..

It depends the HW,cant cut off the 5V power...

You might try the OTG port..

The OTG port does not even power on the external HDD ...

Without being an xbmc or android developer there is nothing else I can find to do. I looked throughout the files and there is none I can see a user can edit. Also, nothing we can override in advancedsetting.xml or guisettings.

Just know that you will get DTS from a DTS HD MA video. If you remove the optical connecter during playback and get static or no sound then it's just DTS. DTS HD MA can not use SPDIF. It must use HDMI.

It looks as though this will require hardware, android, and xbmc to work together to accomplish.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for all your help and useful information.

So it seems HD audio passthrough is still not possible on Android at this point. Bummer. It's a major flaw in an otherwise perfect device.

Yeah I've noticed that. I've got this video "Adele Live in Royal Albert Hall" in DTS HD. Even in DTS, the sound quality is amazing! I can't imagine how the lossless DTS HD audio track would sound like.

Guess I have to rely on my good ole' desktop PC to play these files then. It needs a new GPU though. The current one does not support HD audio passthrough, unfortunately. I was looking for an excuse to buy a new video card for my desktop PC anyway.

Thanks again!

XBMC Crash when accesing Android apps menu

Good day, im facing a problem when trying to access Android app menu, at ffirst i could access no problem in Confluence skin, but with ACE skin would crash inmediately, so the workaround was to favourite the whole Android apps directory within Concluence skin and then i could access it and even add it as a menu using ACE skin, that worked well and didn't crash that way BUT yesterday i tried to access Android apps menu to make few apps favourite and it crashed, tried to access from Confluence skin aswell and it also crashed.

Next thing i did was clear cache, tried again and nada; wiped data, nada; uninstalled and re-installed apk, nada; i enabled all 4 apps i had disabled nada; reinstalled Launcher 3 i had removed, nada. I have no idea what else to try now. I don't know what got corrupted in there.

Here is what i got from xbmc log:

It seems to be not a cach issue

Originally posted by no_spam_for_me View Post

Maybe it is a caching / buffering problem...
Do you know the 'advancedsettings.xml' ?
Have a look at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...he_video_cache
You have to place it at
Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

Sample

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <readbufferfactor>3</readbufferfactor>
    <cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
    <curlclienttimeout>45</curlclienttimeout>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

Maybe (I never try it), set the <cachemembuffersize> near zero (not zero) helps ???

This did not change the behaviour of Live TV, but disabled HD playback of video files (Message "Cache Full")

It seems tto be, that I can only go to a HD channel in Live TV, when I start it in a fresh xbmc, or when I fulle close LIVE TV and then go back and select another channel. Maybe the player is not closed properly, before the next stream is openened?
