You should set gpu_mem=128. 100 is too low for gotham.
# default GPU memory split (do not change if you do not know what you are doing)
gpu_mem=128
# SDRAM size based GPU memory split, uncomment and setup to override 'gpu_mem'
gpu_mem_256=100
gpu_mem_512=128

...
If this is the case, then disabling "DTS capable receiver" is the correct solution to get the same behaviour of Frodo.
Run "tvservice -a" to confirm if DTS passthrough is supported.
Quote:PCM supported: Max channels: 2, Max samplerate: 48kHz, Max samplesize 16 bits., on OE 3.2 as well as OE 4. Which would imply that it never worked in the first place... Which is strange, because when I started enabling that in the past, tests I performed back then where giving me a positive outcome that passthrough was working.

Quote:Here's a log where I try to use "Play using..." to start playing the movie on my TV through UPnP: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=150403
I'm trying it with 2 different movies. Both end up with nothing. My TV, however, can play the same movies just fine when starting them either directly on my TV as well as through "AV Control Point" on my desktop machine. The latter functions as a UPnP control point as well.

While you where typing a reply I was updating my previous post. I've updated the "gpu_mem" part because it was already set accordingly. Do your observations tell you otherwise or did you intent to use different numbers?

I'm thinking of using 64MB on my Pi, running both OpenElec and Subsonic, because Subsonic eats a lot of RAM. Do you think it would be okay if I never play videos? Music only.

While I assume you don't want to go higher than 128MB on a 256MB RPi to leave some CPU mem, what would be the recommended amount of GPU mem on a 512MB RPi for Gotham? I can imagine going too high would be a waste of the possible additional CPU mem again. Note that I got a 512MB RPi now and I disabled background fan art so it's basically just for playback.(2014-03-17, 05:05)spookybathtub Wrote:(2014-03-16, 13:22)popcornmix Wrote: You should set gpu_mem=128. 100 is too low for gotham.I'm curious, what symptoms have you found with less than 128MB?

1080p playback (especially when many reference frame or when deinterlace is enabled and sub/osd present can require more than 100MB).
