Hello,
I can't get HDMI passthrough to work with XBMC. Manually activating audio settings in guisettings.xml did not help either. I tried both 13.1 and the 14.0 06/12/2014 nightly. XBMC will play the audio as a downmix to stereo. Both, the Rockchip video player and the MX Player, are not affected by this problem and send AC3/DTS through the HDMI port (the receiver osd confirms the right type and bitrate of the audio stream).
Even though I do not think the exact hardware is relevant, as the bug should probably exist on all 4.4 RK3066 devices, it is a Ugoos UG802 compatible Bluetimes C120.
Could this problem be related to this line: <passthroughdevice default="true">AUDIOTRACK:AudioTrack</passthroughdevice>? I can't change devices in the XBMC gui.
The debug log shows no really the information I would like:
16:21:25 T:1678400536 DEBUG: FactoryCodec - Audio: passthrough - Failed
So I also made logcats of XBMC and MX Player.
Logs of the nightly with guisettings.xml
<audiooutput> configuration of guisettings.xml: http://pastebin.com/U8U9mSNj
XBMC debug log of completely playing both test files and exiting after: http://pastebin.com/vvwuwEg3
Logcat of XBMC playing the AC3 file (now named Adaptation, so I can start it remotely out of the library): http://pastebin.com/Tu4Q3Zfe
Logcat of XBMC playing the DTS file (now named Dancer in the Dark, so I can start it remotely out of the library): http://pastebin.com/VidZSY6a
Logcat of MX Player playing first the AC3 file then the DTS file, opened through ES File Explorer (named as above): http://pastebin.com/rT63Z09A
I am happy to provide more information if you need any.
If this is bugtracker worthy I can also register and paste this there.
