the only thing was make trouble is the roundabout way to switch back after playing AAC5.1 in Audio settings - if you have forgotten, no DTS and DD5.1 are playing

Hi
Yes it really works fine, i'm absolutely satisfied too
After a year of regularly using Kodi on my RPi2 i'm still daily impressed about what this great software gets out of this tiny little thing of hardware
What do you mean about "switching back after playing aac 5.1 in audio settings" ?
i think, there is no need to switch back or deactivate the AC3 transcoding function if real ac3 or dts comes from source.
AAC 5.1 --> AC3 5.1 Transcoding is only active, when there's multichannel sound, which, you haven't set active for passthrough.
If you set e.g. AC3 and DTS for passthrough, real AC3 and DTS from the source will always passthrough without any transcoding, even if AC3 transcoding is active.
Transcoding in this case just gets active, when the source delivers multichannel sound, which is NOT AC3 or DTS from the source ...
just like AAC 5.1
At least in my case that's the exact behavior und probably the way it should work.
CPU Load kind of confirmes that.
If there's AAC 5.1 from source, the load of my RPi2 is at about +/- 90% idle --> Transcoding active --> A/V gets transcoded AC3
If there's real AC3 or DTS multichannel from source, the load decreases to >= 95% idle --> Transcoding inactive --> A/V gets real AC3/DTS
in both cases the setting for transcoding is ticked / set active
I'm quite sure about that but maybe somebody else can confirm this?
Greets and have a nice day
