    Working HDMI passthrough.

    After a bit of tinkering and reading lots of freaktab posts I've managed to get hdmi passthrough working on my ubox r89 16gb.

    I am using the latest beelink rom 110k4109

    Both dolby digital and DTS are working, I'm using a marantz receiver.

    Download and overwrite libmedia.so which is in /system/lib , I used esfileexplorer and set settings to enable root access. You can get the hacked libmedia.so from here;

    Next download a custom xbmc that takes advantage of the libmedia.so hack. I used this Kodi release which you can get here;

    MEGA

    In android settings/sound/sound devices manager ensure it is set to HDMI Bitstream.

    In xbmc set the audio output to 2.0 (setting to 5.1 causes lag on sd streams)

    Enable passthrough checked.

    Enable dolby digital transcoding is checked.

    I restarted the whole system just to make sure, many thanks to Wasser for the hacked libmedia.so for kitkat and also Karel for the Kodi release to take advantage of libmedia.so.

    Hopefully it will also work for you, if so maybe the changes in libmedia and also the modded xbmc could be merged with current software?

        Just replace the lib media.so and try it with whatever XBMC version you normally use.

          With this lib media.so SPMC and Kodi both crash. They both have Dolby however. Let me know if you have the same problem.

                    Yes as I mentioned Wasser did the libmedia.so hack but the original jellybean hack was created by stafstrom.

                    I did the libmedia.so hack on my old cx921 ages ago. Its well documented but its a dirty hack according to xbmc but hey it works ; )

                    Wheres my test box Oman lol

                      I will have a look at the crashing, Clarkss could you tell me at what point does xbmc crash or is it random?

                      I played a tv show last night with no issues.

                        In the past it was the same story, you MUST use a modded XBMC which works with the patched libmedia.so ...

                          Yes I always thought the same. A modded xbmc to pair with the patched libmedia.so, thats probably why mine doesnt crash. There are many versions of xbmc that have been modded already t take advantage of libmedia.so just doing a google search will give you plenty.

                            Tried it with the latest Kodi nightly. Does not crash but although the passthrough works, the video still has the jump every couple of seconds. I only tested it the short helicopter dogfight video that oman provided which is maybe why I dont see the crash?.
