Hey Folks,
I started playing around with v19.0 of Kodi on my Shield 2015... using Kodi's IEC packer fixes one of my biggest complaints with Kodi and bitstreaming... after you pause, when you resume, the audio starts at the same time as the video. Awesome!
However, I think there is something not quite right with it. I was watching an episode of Picard (Broken Pieces), which has a 5.1 DTS-MA soundtrack (Audio: DTS 48000Hz 6ch 4608kbps [A: Surround 5.1 [eng] (dts-hd ma, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16) ]). There is just a bit of distortion in the audio... almost feels like an off-by-1 error. It pretty obvious at the end of the episode, when the 2 ships enter a wormhole... it's easy to hear some crackling there. The crackling isn't present using Android's IEC packer, nor using my Popcorn Hour, so I think there is an issue here.
Anybody else notice it?
Thanks!
Tim
