Do I need to overwrite that HD folder over the original installed xbmc folder?

I have installed the latest nightly build from the xbmc website and I am able to playback blu-ray iso (decrypted) no problem, but I was wondering I have ANYDVD-HD running and was wondering is it possible for me to be able to play a BD disk natively, if so how do I go about this.
zYxMa Wrote:Ok bluray, I followed what you said, I renamed all three, loaded xbmc from my desktop xbmc_hd_audio (does it matter where I run xbmc_hd_audio from?) and I loaded mkv film with dtshd and I also loaded an index.bdmv from one of my bluray discs and the video loads, sound plays fine, but the video has like 4-5 fps! Xbmc animations work nice and smooth while the video looks horriblecan you set your avr to passthrough video. as i mentioned earlier, it'll be less burden on your avr. you're avr will be left to do what it do best is to decode hd audio!
Passthrough device is still with error - no device found, but DTS HD works fine on my AVR. SO it's just videos content. Am I missing a codec or something?
PS. I use my PC for everything, literally, but the OS itself is fresh installed on SSD. Can't be any faster

in xbmc- if default give you error, you can try to set passthrough device to the correct hdmi.

I had to disable true full screen
To get any video playback smooth. So it seems like it works, but with passthrough device error.. even when I set HDMI AMD audio out, that error remains there.
zYxMa Wrote:Earlier, you asked me to chane HDMI audio out to stereo, I did that too, but it seems lika DTS HS and TrueHD work just fine with 5.1 setup. I need 5.1 audio output for gaming. This is only for LPCM output, hence DTS HS shouldn't be affected.if you "pass-through" '1', you'll get '1' . if you're passing through audio via hdmi, it doesn't matter how many speakers you tell windows to passthrough. it'll only passthrough the audio codecs within the game or movie file. your avr is capable of decode it and playback it throughout your surround speakers.
billegoat Wrote:@blurayas i mentioned above, i don't get any passthrough error. is your graphic card driver up to date? can you try newer hdmi cable, and here are some inexpensive 3d hdmi cables- hdmi cables.
Thanks for helping us to jump the gun on bitstreamed audio. I have been following this forum for awhile and have tried virtually every combination of settings within XBMC and CCC. My problem is the video plays fine and the HD-audio comes through but every 20-40 seconds I have an annoying hiccup in the audio like hellstorm666 was describing. I have tried the passthrough setting on my Anthem MRX500 but that does not fix my problem.
The other weird thing is that in the audio settings XBMC will not let me select anything for the Passthrough option. It just says Error Passthrough device not available.
Any advice or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
