I've attempted another rebase of libbluray 1.0.2 and the downstream patch we carry (improved MVC support). Please give it a try.

If you can test an RPi2 build with libbluray 1.0.2 that would be appreciated - obviously I'm not expecting UHD to work but regular 3D and 2D BD ISOs should work (they seem to be working for me).

Build #0619c: RPi2

If you turn off passthrough, Kodi will convert the high resolution DTSHD/TrueHD down to PCM multichannel with little or no discernible difference. You may loose some bass management features, but the audio quality should be largely the same. At the very least, it will be superior to the lossy Dolby Digital/DTS.

 Thank you, I plan to fiddle with it more and will try your suggestion as well. I'm still worried that the issues I have with HD audio+4kHDR video content on my config might be caused not by NUC or KODI/LibreElec but either my aged Onkyo TX-SR608 AV Reciver or TV set Panasonic TX-48AS640E. None of them supports HDMI 2.0 so I'm starting to have a feeling that probably the reciever or TV has issues when processing such high data transfer. And this may cause the video not being smooth but jerky. But on the other hand, the demo video sample "4k-jellyfish-120-mbps-hevc-10bit.mkv" with TrueHD audio plays smooth as silk on a shoeshine.

I am still having the same issue with my NUC7i3BNH not being able to pass DTS-HD Master or TrueHD. It doesn't matter if I have it at 60p or 24p.
To refresh NUC7i3BNH (Kaby Lake) >HDMI cable >Yamaha A3010 receiver > Epson Projector. 

This receiver projector combo has worked fine for me to stream DTS HD Ma/TrueHD for many years using previous Kodi builds (Chromebox, PC, Dell/Wyse Thin Clients, etc). 

I updated the NUC HDMI firmware to 1.66 some time ago and this NUC box works fine with Windows 10 and official Windows 32 bit Kodi. It passes HD audio and does so with refresh rate switching down to 24p. 

I finally figured out how to enable logging. I played back a 1080p movie rip with both DTS-HD Master (5.1) and DTS 5.1. I switched from DTSHDMA to regular DTS after a short period with no audio playback (receiver shows Analog). This was set at fixed 60p for this log. When I switched to bitstreaming regular DTS, it started playing the audio immediately. I switched back to DTS HD Master and the audio dropped again immediately.

Here is the latest Log.

If you are playing on your TV (1080p), then it is just downscaling everything and you are wasting a huge amount of storage/bandwidth/processing power.

I’m just asking cause i need my pulse8 adapter to get cec to work.

Without adapter cec setting are greyed out.

That's because the onboard Intel CEC controller is next to useless.

If you want full CEC, you'll need the Pulse-Eight adapter.
