Looking for some clarification on "Sync playback to display" using Eden with DanielaE's patch:
When playing back 24p mkv's with hd audio via bitstream, I would get dropped frames (I believe thanks to Intel's inability to output 23.976- I have an Ivy w/HD4000). I enabled "Sync playback to display" with "Video Clock(resample audio)" selected. This appears to have fixed the dropped frames.
However, I just read that using this option does not allow "passthrough." My receiver still shows DTS-HD MSTR on it's display, so I assume XBMC is still bitstreaming the audio? Am I confusing "passthrough" with "bitstreaming?"
Do I have it set correctly for what I am trying to accomplish (no dropped frames with bitstreamed HD audio), do I need to set it up differently, or should I be using the new AE build from the nighties?
