That said, it wouldn't hurt to try a portable installation. All of the installers are linked in the first post.

Thank you, might just give it a try. A little leery as it's taken me almost 8 months to get all things right.

Do I need to change back to the default skin first? Using EstuaryMOD

You can use any skin. Try going portable.

Maybe the proboscis is getting too large, or it's my eyes, but I can't find the portable version to download.

The search box is your friend ....

Ok, got it running, but exactly what do I copy over so that when it runs (I DID copy over userdata) it boots like what I have installed?

You shouldn't have to copy over anything if you overwrite an older installation. If portable, copy over the userdata. And there is no portable installation. Any version of Kodi can be installed as a portable installation.

its the same installer, you just install it in a folder somewhere, then when installed create a shortcut to the kodi executable but put add -p to it, like this:

"X\KODI\kodi.exe" -p

Its this -p switch that makes it portable. Its loads better using kodi like this as full backups are much easier.

Essentially this -p switch tells KODI to store the userdata locally in this folder instead of in your profile, here is the location:

X:\KODI\portable_data\userdata

Yeah as I was perusing the thread and other threads, I literally stumbled onto the small problem I was having - I didn't copy over into portable_data, I just copied over. So blew off the directory and reinstalled and copied INTO the RIGHT subdirectory - all is well know, kinda.

I'll work on madVR later, but how do I set this to passthrough ALL audio? I have the ac3filter decode and send out AAC in AC3 format that my receiver can decode. It can decode all others by itself. This seems to passthrough everything, but the ac3filter isn't seeing the output from a AAC.

Are all these filters internal?

Set to use internal filters and configure LAV Audio by checking all supported formats. No need for AC3filter.

No if I can just figure out why all the back are being seen by the HK as side-channels, and silent, I'll be REALLY happy.

THAT YOU!!!!! for the help. Sometimes I ask questions before I just stop and LOOK.

I don't have any issues with MPC-HC using madVR. I have the latest madVR installed. Kodi seems to crash before any useful information can be written to the log file. Whats the quickest way to see repair this issue without having to install and configure dozens of Kodi addons from scratch, and Skin related customizations and settings?

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

I did not have the same exact problem but a similar one. In my case changing antivirus solved it.

I don't understand what's the use of AC3 filter for you. If you have LAV Audio decode AAC to PCM sound you should be all set. Unless you are talking about 5.1 AAC files that you want transcoded to 5.1 AC3 (in that case you need either AC3filter or Reclock as sound renderer).

Regarding the channel layout, check LAV Audio configuration. There's a couple of settings there that might help, namely "Convert Output to Standard Channel Layouts" and/or "Use Legacy 5.1 channel layout".

Edit: btw, if you configure DSPlayer correctly, you should be able to manage AC3filter being loaded only when needed (ie. for 5.1 AAC files). Read about it here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Playercorefactory.xml and use "audiocodec" and "audiochannels" as metadata attributes to check against.
