Hi, I've a box with s912 (r-box pro) running Android 7.1
I've installed the shitty build as suggested here but passthrough still doesn't work.
I've enabled PT in KODI settings, and sync is disabled. Is there anything else I need to do to get it working?
Also, can someone please explain why the native player that comes with the box can output DTS and DD just fine if the firmware for s912 is fundamentally broken as suggested here?
many thanks.

If the AMLogic Android 7.x S912 device Firmware was up to snuff it would already include the Krypton required - IEC61937 Audio passthrough support and no shitty build would even be needed.
Normal things to check would be to reset all Krypton Audio settings back to default do not mess with the Audio Channel number (leave at 2.0), make sure Player > Sync Playback to Display is disabled and Expert mode (bottom left in settings) is enabled in Krypton.
Otherwise its over to the Freaktab Website to search for superior 3rd party Alternate Android Firmware - just like all the other cheap AML Android box users.

My question then is: What from 17.4-rc1 do you need / want? Latest and greatest or a concrete fix?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hi,
I have a Amlogic S812 device. I tried the shitty and notsoshitty version but video freeze when I try to activate audio passthrough...
Is there a way to make it works?
thanks

Hm, I tried kodi-20170816-bc46b78-shitty-armeabi-v7a.apk on latest stable 17.3 build on new Fire Stick and it actually broke Kodi. Every time I wanted to start a movie from my library it crushed back to Fire Stick menu.
I had to de-install everything and re-install 17.3.
Which "shitty" is the correct one for 17.3?
