RE: Latest VidOn Box Impressions - hdmkv - 2015-03-16 Quote:As an example of how quickly the landscape changes...That's awesome news. How about HD audio? RE: Latest VidOn Box Impressions - woronczak - 2015-03-16 I have tested this on the RPi2 which can now play 3d MVC MKVs (created from 3d Blurays using MakeMKV) to your TV / Projector in 3d (triggers the 3d mode and displays in 3D) and it seems to work great.The earlier test build only played in half resolution (HSBS or HTAB output to the TV / projector), but this new build is full resolution. It does not play 3d Bluray Isos in 3d though. The RPi has almost all boxes ticked now unlike other devices, who seem to struggle with some things (notably proper 23.976 support, proper Kodi integration so that all the same menu buttons are used and it doesn't continue to play the next movie once you have finished, remembering where you stopped playing the video last time, CEC support). The only limitation of the RPi / RPi2 is that it doesn't support HD audio passthrough, so you are stuck with Dolby Digital / DTS rather than TrueHD and DTS-HD, which kinda sucks, but with full Kodi integration, it is something I can live with (until a better solution comes along). I think there is still a hardware limitation for passthrough of HD audio that they can't overcome. RE: Latest VidOn Box Impressions - hdmkv - 2015-03-16 Thanks. I went from ISO (early 3D players only supported this) to MKV (when M8R came along) to back to ISO (for the more recent 3D players). Not sure I want to (or should) go back to MKV, especially w/o HD audio on RPi2. The free tsMuxeR allows for easy, lossless conversion from MKV to ISO & back. Only issue is TrueHD. In MKV, core is kept as a separate track (if you so choose), but in ISO, lossless + core are together.

But remember, Android Box ≠ Kodi Box, Android Box can do more, not only watching movie. I've already said that hardware is not the point, the important is the full multimedia solution on the box, yes the firmware & software.(2015-03-14, 18:58)VidOn.me-Wolly Wrote: If it is powered by Android L and a powerful chipset, like HiSilicon or RK3288,2GB RAM and 32GB/64GB Flash, I'm afraid the price will be $499 or higher. (Of course this price includes all features you marked yes.) Most of us in this forum don't care too much about playing games on Media Players. We just want a good player with Kodi well integrated. RE: Latest VidOn Box Impressions - hdmkv - 2015-03-16 movie78, for Pi2, looks as lossless TrueHD is possible as 8 channel LPCM. But, for DTS-MA, only core RE: Latest VidOn Box Impressions - movie78 - 2015-03-16 (2015-03-16, 15:07)hdmkv Wrote: movie78, for Pi2, looks as lossless TrueHD is possible as 8 channel LPCM.
