HDMI passthrough HDMI switch

With the latest 109 update, HDMI is working much better. Since my A/V receiver only has 2 HDMI inputs, I have to use a Monoprice 4 port HDMI switch. Prior to this updated firmware, when using the switcher for my Vega S89H my screen was all flutery, and not useable. I had to use one of the receiver ports, now I can use the HDMI switcher. This solved a biggie for me.

thanks


Update:
Started to watch a recorded football game from last night from live tv stream, mpeg 2 108i, every 5 to 10 minutes the sound would drop out for about 5 to 10 seconds, and sometimes the screen would go blank for a second or two. After watching for about half an hour, I switched back to the HDMI port on the A/V receiver and the problem went away.

So, the 7. From Oman's list for Optimization display effect for HDMI still needs a little more tweaking.

Also, I suffered from heat causing the video to become jerky, this problem seems to be solved. So, I won't need to drill hole in my box. The temp (using CpuTemp app) goes up to 80C and stays there for a few minutes then goes back to 75C, it used to almost immediately drop to 55C.
So, jerky video from the heat dissipation problem seems to be solved. I won't need to drill holes in my box anymore.

Also, watched the football game using the latest nightly Kodi 14 alpha 3, and it played flawlessly. Not a single dropped or skipped frame at all during the 3.5 hour game, that is just awesome. It was an mpeg 2 TS file and here is the media info for this file.

I've spent hours reviewing the whole thread,known what you are talking about..

DTS-HD passthrough not working (only DTS core), Dolby TrueHD - I don't have properly files to test. (MXIII and Denon AVR-1610).

Your AVR must support DTS-HD /True-HD first..

[Pecus]

My Denon AVR-1610 support DTS-HD and DD True-HD. I have many BluRay discs and files with DTS-HD and all of this working well in BluRay player or PopcornHour A210.
In MXIII i have only DTS core. Not DTS-HD.
