RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - clarkss12 - 2020-05-24 I have dozens of different remotes, including a couple like the G20, but my favorite by far is the G30s......... The "s" indicates that most of the buttons are programmable IR codes... I have 3 of them and all were less than $10 USD. The air mouse works great and the Voice function is just fantastic. RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - simrose - 2020-05-24 Thanks for being so kind and by sharing and answering all my questions Sim RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - simrose - 2020-05-24 I understand the power on and off feature isnt supported on a bluetooth controller but if i dont need to have this feature are their any good bluetooth remotes which are responsive i could use for the odroud n2? Thanks Sim RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - simrose - 2020-05-27 HDMI Multi Ch PCM Why PCM? Is this just the way the pass through works on this device? Thanks Sim RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - Boulder - 2020-05-27 Multichannel PCM in case you happen to playback audio that cannot be bitstreamed like 5.1ch FLAC, AAC etc. so they will be decoded and sent out as multichannel LPCM. What you have set in the Passthrough options, will be sent without decoding.

You can either get a usb extender cable, so that the usb plug isn't in the back right on top fo the rest of the electronics in the box. Helped somewhat. The power button on the G20 is programmable, so what I did is I had the IR remote from odroid already, and I programmed my G20 power button to the power button on the odroid IR remote, and it worked perfectly. This way the power button uses IR to turn the N2 on/off, but the other buttons use the USB dongle to control (so it's response is much quicker than IR, and I don't need direct line of sight). Here is the IR remote that I used to program the G20 power button: https://ameridroid.com/products/ir-remote-control RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - simrose - 2020-05-27 (2020-05-27, 14:01)Boulder Wrote: Multichannel PCM in case you happen to playback audio that cannot be bitstreamed like 5.1ch FLAC, AAC etc. so they will be decoded and sent out as multichannel LPCM.

I enabled passthrough for my avr denon avr x2500h i enabled all the options dtt,dts hd etc ( not sure about digital plus) Not done anyhing else as unluckily the servers are down with coreelec so not managed to do much else.

What you have set in the Passthrough options, will be sent without decoding. If you have an AVR X2500H and a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker set-up (or equivalent with Atmos height speakers) then set your Number of Output Channels to 5.1 or 7.1 etc. (whatever your speaker configuration is - though you may want to leave your .1 in even if you don't have a subwoofer to let your AVR do bass management rather than Kodi). That will ensure all non-passthrough formats like PCM, FLAC, AAC (*) etc. are decoded and to 5.1 or 7.1 PCM. For bitstream formats - enable passthrough and enable passthrough for AC3/Dolby Digital, E-AC3/Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS and DTS HD. This will mean that all the passthrough formats will be passed through (i.e. bit streamed) untouched for your AVR to decode. (Your AVR will also indicate the bitstream type) (*) Technically AAC can be carried over HDMI as a bitstream - but it's never really been implemented in Kodi (and support for AAC-over-HDMI is - or was - very rare outside of Japan) RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - noggin - 2020-05-28 (2020-05-28, 01:33)Harro Wrote:(2020-05-27, 21:36)simrose Wrote:Have mine set to 2 channel and pass that to my NAD 777v3 which will decode to whatever signal is.

What you have set in the Passthrough options, will be sent without decoding. If you have a 5.1/7.1 or equivalent speaker set-up, then I'd configure the number of channels to 5.1 or 7.1 not 2.0. Otherwise non-bitstream multichannel audio formats like AAC, FLAC, PCM etc. will be transcoded to Dolby Digital (as you have enable transcode on). The only reason to select 2.0 and thus reveal and enable the transcode option in your situation is if Kodi is for some reason swapping surround channels over (which I don't think CoreElec does these days). However if you have any 5.1/7.1 FLAC or PCM tracks lossless tracks, you are adding lossy DD compression to them in your current set-up. Unless there is an issue you are solving with Transcode - I'd switch to 5.1/7.1 channels and let Kodi output non-bitstream formats as 5.1/7.1 PCM losslessly, rather than add a Dolby Digital transcode. RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - simrose - 2020-05-28 I have 7.1 speakers All of them approx 2 foot up from ear level on wall. 2 front and 1 center 2 side 2 rear And 2 active subs So should I got for 7.1 option? Thanks Sim RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - simrose - 2020-05-28 Also I should enable all passthrough? Thanks Sim RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - ribis1 - 2020-05-28 Anybody found a good way to mount this to their tv? I see they sell a VESA mount, but I guess it doesnt work when the tv is mounted to the wall...
