The weird thing is my test on Dolby/DTS by Kodi 14.0 beta3 is all ok...

That is very strange.

I also have Dolby D coming through HDMI now on the test file with the stock player. On XBMC, I just get stereo.

The stock player now also passes through DTS and Dolby D on other files I have.

I tried out the patch on my R28 last night on top of 109k4 but it didn't work.

It also caused XBMC to just bomb out when playing some videos.

I wasn't necessarily expecting it to work but it was worth a shot.

Would you be able to make this patch for the Tronsmart R28 Meta? I have heard the HW is very similar but not sure if they share the same kernel etc. The same problem exists on the R28s. I could test on mine. Thanks.

"... HW is very similar ..." yes it's the same pcb (motherboard)... so you can use the same FW...
I'm not sure, but I think you need 109k4 to "patch" it with this update (it's a kernel replacement)...
Generally, if I'm not wrong, oman develop at minimum for Tronsmart also the kernel ...

Hi,all:

I modify something in kernel,pls download the patch here:

the extremely hot cpu 100% has only happened once, the day after I recieved my R89

Every sound clip i tested locally and from Nas (stock videoplayer and XBMC, Youtube) is working after update. Indication on AVR when DD is used, no DTS indication.

Thanks Oman and Bob!

You are saying that you get Dolby Digital when playing a video from XBMC? If so, what version of XBMC are you using? I get Dolby Digital from all the local players when playing from internal sources or from my NAS, but can not get Dolby Digital when playing inside XBMC. I tried the latest version of SPMC and the latest nightly Kodi 14 beta 3.

[ssspacman]

xbmc and spmc logs sent. Dolby not working. Stockplayer dolby ok.

I have sound with the test video and XBMC when I select HDMI Bitstream! The rest of Android is silent, though

With "default", I get the android touch sounds, but no Sound in the test video. Gonna test some more and report back.

Wohooo!


(And a thanks to Bob for the update.zip)

[oman]

I tested your test video with built-in video players and they all played with Dolby digital surround. I tried the latest Kodi nightly and all I got was static. I tried with SPMC and it had audio, but not surround sound. Will reboot, retest with SPMC (version of XBMC) then create logs and email them to you.

Excellent. Hope everyone else also gets dolby with stock player. I will also send xbmc and spmc logs later today.

Okay,thank you!!

Waiting others feedback.
