What I forgot to mention is that I noticed when the audio delay is not applied, the taskbar icon of LAV audio is also not visible. It seems like the LAV Audio renderer is somehow not started or bypassed? Is LAV Audio still required if the audio is bitstreamed and not transcoded? Pressing 'O' during bitstreaming of Dolby Digital did show me that LAV Audio was not used as a filter, but Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio decoder. When playing a file with DTS it was using LAV Audio. If I switched audio tracks during playback (of the file with DTS) then it switched to the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoder again and audio was not in sync anymore. Is there some configuration or merits that I somehow messed up? EDIT: When I disabled bitstreaming Dolby Digital then the LAV Audio decoder is used again. Enabling this will use the Microsoft decoder. EDIT #2: In my first post I mentioned that the B&W Panorama 2 did not support multichannel LPCM. I assumed this because the Windows Sound control panel only shows stereo (2.0) channels for the device, while with my previous receiver I was able to select anything up to 7.1. Using Custom Resolution Utility I was able to "hack" the driver and enable more channels for LPCM, but if you do the test sound on Windows, only the left and right channel would play sounds. Now I downloaded both a Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD speaker mapping file and played these with DSPlayer. The files will play sounds discretely through each channel. To my surprise I am able to clearly distinguish all the channels being played. In this setup those HD tracks are transcoded into LPCM by LAV audio and I have disabled mixing. The only strange this is the the subwoofer channel (LFE) is inaudible, while if I bitstream the DTS Core track the LFE channel is clearly audible. SANITY CHECK Am I correct to assume that using the Sanear audio renderer, with exclusive mode enabled and the mixer disabled, LAV Audio will just transcode all channels into LPCM and send 8 channel LPCM over HDMI to the Panorama? The fact that I am able to hear all channels means the Panorama actually supports multichannel LPCM, and there's no downmixing to 2.0 happening somewhere in Windows? Another thing I found is that when you disable bitstreaming DTS-HD (but enable DTS) it will always prefer bitstreaming the DTS Core track instead of transcoding the DTS-HD track into LPCM. If I disable bitstreaming DTS it will choose the DTS-HD track and transcode that one.

Is LAV Audio still required if the audio is bitstreamed and not transcoded?LAV Audio is part of the decoding, not rendering, process, so it is always used. The Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio decoder is news to me. I don't know if this is normal behavior or not. I assume you are using internal filters? Each filter should appear under codec info (O) with a little (i) beside it. If letting LAV Audio do the decoding for you is working, I would stick with it. Otherwise, there may be no other solution. There should be no quality loss if you don't need Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - bivab - 2018-03-21 (2018-03-21, 16:12)Warner306 Wrote:Yes, I'm using the Internal Filters and not an external configuration file. If transcoding the tracks into LPCM comes without quality loss (compared to decoding by the receiver) then I'm fine with using it, although I wonder if the receiver does some extra special "surround" magic when it detects DD/DTS. Hopefully a future version of Kodi/Dsplayer will automagically fix this issue for me.(2018-03-20, 20:18)bivab Wrote:For ReClock, you need to configure it outside of Kodi.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Warner306 - 2018-03-21 There is no transcoding to PCM. The untouched audio is simply unpacked into separate channels. This would still be considered lossless unless you are doing some type of mixing with this data. LAV Audio and audio renderers can alter PCM tracks. But this can be bypassed with correct configuration (simply ignore the mixing tab in LAV Audio and don't use ReClock's media speed correction and choose WASAPI Exclusive). Then it is lossless.

Then it is lossless.Alright, good to know. So it's more decoding/unzipping rather than transcoding? I tried disabling the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoder using this tutorial, hoping DSPlayer would fallback to LAV Audio, but this resulted in NO audio being played. The MS decoder is no longer present as a filter, but LAV audio neither. I guess I'll have to wait for a DSPlayer update, hoping it's not my machine that's in the wrong here.

And Kodi 18 has good improvements in live TV part. And Netflix Addon is only working with Kodi 18..what do you mean by full, does it (A) pass metadata to your TV automatically and enable HDR mode on your HDR TV if you have one, and (B) automatically convert HDR material to SDR if you havent got a HDR display? I tried the latest nightly, I found no HDR options or settings beyond some colour calibration controls in system, and when I played a HDR movie it tried to convert it to SDR, it looked terrible, seems far from ready to me. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Bibio - 2018-03-22 i've pretty much got kodi-dsplayer working without troubles on my system. apart from one thing, custom display modes in madvr. for the life of me i cant get it to work properly. either there is a bug in nvidia or madvr. i'm trying to optimise the currant timings and not create new ones. when i optimise the 23hz mode by playing a video to create the timings it seems that its confused with 24hz as well. this is evident in that when the 23hz mode has been optimised it also creates timings for the 24hz at the same time. i know this as when i press optimise on 24hz it brings up an optimised list even though i have not optimised it with playing a video. when i change to one of the optimised timing modes in 23hz and 'test' it changes the mode no problem, but it does not register with dsplayer when i press crtl+j and the timings are staying the same as before optimisation and displaying 4-5min. this is pretty much my last hurdle that i have to jump.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - bivab - 2018-03-23 (2018-03-22, 16:30)Warner306 Wrote:Okay, so I hooked up an entirely different machine (with an AMD APU instead of Intel + GTX 970) with a fresh Windows 10 64-bit installation. I only copied over my library and GUI settings and changed some basic settings for DSPlayer. When I start playing a video with Dolby Digital (with bitstreaming enabled) Kodi will now crash. If I play a file with DTS it will play correctly (and use LAV Audio). When I disabled bitstreaming Dolby Digital and let LAV decode the audio for me, Kodi does not crash and will play the file (using LAV Audio filter).(2018-03-21, 21:39)bivab Wrote:LAV Audio might use that decoder.
