My understanding is that Kodi on Raspbian only supports one HDMI port, yet the Raspberry Pi 4 has two HDMI ports. Specifically, I'm using the pipplware version.
I have a situation where I would like video (as normal) to go down HDMI 0 and audio to go down HDMI 1, especially passthrough audio. The reason for this is that my TV can only handle PCM 2ch and Dolby Digital, but my audio receiver can't process 4k video, so I'm sending sound directly to it so it can handle DTS etc. which my TV can't. The setup is:
Is it possible to get both HDMI ports working on the RPi 4? Apparently, this would need a code change in Kodi itself (PISink code block in Kodi).
Just to clarify, I only care about audio on the second port, but maybe somebody else has a need to video on that port too.
