gapless music playback - stuCONNERS - 2013-09-08

has anyone managed to get gapless play back working on the rpi?


RE: gapless music playback - javaboyuk - 2013-09-10

From the post I made on the openelec test part2 thread:

Please can we add to the config.txt file for the distribtion 3.1.8 and going forward, and 3.0.7 if it comes out, the following option with a comment about it:

#Stops HDMI res-sync issues between raspberry and external AMPs (needed to achive near gapless audio play back in some situations)
force_hdmi_open=1

I have tried it with my Raspberry model B, and Yamah AMP connected via HDMI and albums now play as if listening to the original CD from my CD player!
I personnall would like it on by default.... lol but then I would, but it should be in there as an option to enable. I could not find this documented
on the RPI site/forum, it has taken me since last September to get this going, as I did not assoicate the issue with montiors or popping sounds lol.

Again I would like to thank Popcronmix for suggesting this in another thread I posted in. I am sooo so happy with openelec 3.1.6 now.

Found that using this option will hang my rpi if i try to skip forward or go to next track in openelec 3.2, or 3.1.6, or 3.1.7
with the sound looping that previous 0.2 of second or so.

:-(
