Passthough disabled "resample audio" and falls back to drop/duplicate. This means you can only get sync to within 1 audio frame. That is 32ms (I believe) for AC3 which should be hard to detect.
If you enable "PLL adjust" as the sync method, then that error will be corrected, even with passthrough (although it can cause ausio dropouts with some receivers).

I will try the PLL adjust method. Thanks for your help.

It's been in there for a little while now I think - so quite a lot earlier than 0411. I've tested it on a couple of 48kHz DTS-HD MA files and it worked for me - I got multichannel PCM output that sounded pretty good (and the on-screen display in Kodi indicated DTS-HD MA decoding). It's a great development for Kodi (as I imagine other PCM multichannel devices that don't have HD Audio bitstreaming functionality will also benefit)

@MONSTA please test latest build with your stuttery VC-1 samples.

Hey guys. I haven't been around for a while, but just updated for. A September 2014 14.x build to the most recent build on this thread,and am having a few issues. Again, I haven't been keeping up on here, so I apologize if any of these issues have been discussed before.

1. If "adjust display refresh rate" is on, I am unable to control nothing via my remote or Yatse. The only way I can get out is to SSH in and do a reboot, or pull the plug. Also, if I incorporate a delay in this setting, the video only goes to a black screen and never starts.

2. I've got a small keyboard.xml file that enables me to have an info and context menu buttons on my TV remote. After the update, the keyboard.xml file is still in place, but doesn't appear to be working.

Any advice?

Thank you!!

@davidmtml: Try an official OpenELEC 5.0.8 release and see if you have the same problems, as this would rule out any changes specific to these test builds.

When upgrading to a major new version (ie. Kodi 14.x -> Kodi 15.x) and experiencing weird behaviour, remove guisettings.xml in case an old setting is causing a conflict with the new build.

If the above fails, rename .kodi to .kodi.bak and start with a completely clean/empty .kodi folder - it will be automatically recreated on next boot.

If you continue to have problems, a debug log (wiki) is required.

Installing a fresh version of 5.0.8 did it. Tried the other two first with no success, but everything is working as normal now! Thanks!

Everything is fine now, nice job.

Hi,

I just wanted to bring up my question from the old thread.

Is there any chance to have anaglyph output back on RPI?

Thanks,
Tilo

@popcornmix - I second this request - not for private use but it was pretty helpful on LinuxTAG (exhibition / event) to demo 3D support in Kodi with the cheap ass non-3D screens whe got provided. So if it's not too much work it'll be awesome to get back.
Line-interlaced 3D for passive TVs would also be awesome to have, but that's harder to implement from what I recall from your previous answers (in this I'd personally be interested in Smile ) .

Btw - did my Debug Log give any hint on why in my case 3D mode is triggered again when seeking in 2D mode?

Yes. Either bring up video OSD and set the 3d mode to SBS, or include a 3d tag in the filename (e.g. ".3D.SBS.")

I have added to my filenames".3D.HSBS" but 3d does not start automatically. If I go into video setting and set 3d format to SBS and apply it as default for all video then 3d plays normally but it also tries to play 2d in 3d any ideas?

Well you certainly don't want to apply it as default for all videos - that makes no sense - your videos are not all 3D SBS.
It will remember the setting for each video, so just set 3D format to SBS and it will remember for that video.

Just wanted to mention I tried build #0412 yesterday (was away for a week) & MPEG2 is much improved. I had stutter with a couple of 1080i live OTA ATSC stations; now plays noticeably smoother, but still stutters a tad. Not consistent though as changing channels or exiting HDHomeRun add-on I'm using & restarting it seems to fix the issue.

I've absolutely no idea, I'm afraid. You probably want to continue discussion in the OpenELEC forum.
Ok, thanks. I thought I'd ask here because the developers in this forum seem to be a lot more responsive than on the OE forums Smile

Maybe I'll give their chat channel a try.
