Yeah I've been getting it. I haven't used Gotham on my HTPC so I am not sure if it's because of that or something else. The only "fix" I saw was disabling pass through, but that's not really an option for me. XBMC Log Uploader isn't working for me right now or I'd put something up.
I have a Denon receiver.
Edit: Updating my receiver's firmware and will try with the FTV's audio set to Stereo.
Edit2: That didn't change anything. Still static when starting a Dolby Digital file.

If anyone is looking for a great PTV front end box that will play off of a NAS or some other storage get the Amazon Fire TV.
I am a long time PTV supporter I started with the ATV 2 then went to the HP NL40 , Rpi, and Arctic MC0001. So I am pretty familiar with the hardware needed to push PTV. I have about 500 movies scrapped along with 5 TV series that I load into PTV.
I received the Fire TV today and followed the wiki instructions and loaded the Gotham build. Yep doesn't work with PTV. I then loaded the SPMC build and installed the FRODO PTV Build. Works perfectly. This device has a bluetooth remote that has just enough keys to do channel up down EPG and exit. Plays just about anything I throw at it. Also, seems to pass DTS through just fine. I do not have any HD Audio, 24 fps, or Anime. Just normal US blu ray rips in 1080 and 720p encoded with H264. Hope this info helps someone!

Hey guys, wondering if it's possible to update your library in the middle of the night? Coming from a Pi, I just used the addon to do it at 3a.m., but not really sure how to accomplish the same thing with the AFTV going to sleep.
Would an app like Tasker (or similar app/addon) be able to wake it up to start XBMC prior to the library update addon cron job? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as is all the hard work going into these builds/info. So far really loving this box and the future is looking great!

If you still have the pi, set up MySQL database sharing and get the pi to do the updating.

Is there anyway to control the audio with the Amazon remote? With passthrough enabled?

Pass through does just that. If you could control it on the computer, it wouldn't be passthrough.

I'm sure my ignorance is taking over, but when I press "volume up" on the remote it says "Passthrough audio in use" ... shouldn't that change the volume on my receiver?

Only if hdmi-cec is working. Personally I don't know enough about cec.
