Using this -- kodi-20170131-834789b-shitty-armeabi-v7a.apk -- I now have DTS over SPDIF TOSLINK to AVR... with NO skips. =D
I stand behind Fritsch when he says the S912 firmware is horrible. I loaded a custom rom from superceleron and its night and day. Box runs faster overall. Krypton is snappy. And DTS just works. I dont have to sit there anticipating an audio drop. So relieving.
The problems I had before are still there (WiFi never worked and still doesnt). I find wired ethernet to be faster anyway.
If you have one of these crappy S912 boxes as I do, I strongly urge you to load custom firmware until an official update comes out. This custom ROM is 6.0.1 (which I thought I was running anyway).
Oh and by the way... I am going through all this pain because I love Krypton. I mean even my wife is asking about it (and she has seen me use KODI since it was XBMC). As a tester it no longer feels like a pre-release.
Add-on run a little slow, but that's my issue and figure they will catch up when it goes live.
