From the logs you have Deinterlace set to On, don't do that.

[daydr3amer]

Yep, thats for the PVR. I disabled it now but it doesnt make any difference.

I forgot to mention that sometimes when I start start a 5.1 video, the center line is muted/missing. I will try to reproduce it later when im home again and upload the logs..

Thanks for your fast reply.

Set deinterlace to Auto. That setting was applied to 24p movie - so the settings was definitely wrong. Be aware that xbmc stores those settings "per video" basis.

[daydr3amer]

Okay I turned it off now and did a few testscenarios with different videos for about a minute each. I hope this helps you to help me
I wanted to check on PVR too, because it played back 1080p flawlessly, but it completely broke down and wouldnt work, even after a reboot.


1. 720p 2.0 channels
Looks perfect

2. 720p 5.1 DTS
Looks perfect

3.1 1080p 5.1 channels (center line was missing here!)
Stuttering most of the time, audio ok

3.2 1080p 5.1 channels (same file, center line ok)
Stuttering most of the time, worse than 3.1, audio ok

4. 1080p 5.1 DTS-MA
heavy stuttering, unwatchable, audio ok

5. 480p 2.0 channels
green artefacts, audio ok

Five things:

a) Move your .xbmc directory away (there are so many addons that pollute xbmc.log)
b) Reproduce with confluence
c) Upgrade to at least 13.1 b1 or better use the fernetmenta-ppa linked in that thread
d) SPDIF cannot do DTS-MA - so as long as your hdmi out is not working (provide aplay -l | pastebinit and amixer | pastebinit) I wonder how you could enable that at all
e) Make sure that your UMA size is set to 512 MB in bios

I don't understand the difference between Test 3.1 and 3.2 - SPDIF can only open 2 pcm channels, so as long as you use that one keep your audio set to 2.0 - Also provide a screenshot after you have done a) to e) so that I can verify what's in really in there.

5 is most likely mpeg-4 (see bug above).

That your pvr is "complete broke down" rather sounds like some heavy misconfiguration - never seen before

Edit: Also remove the CEC Adapter. It complains all the time.

[daydr3amer]

So I moved .xbmc, added fernetmenta-ppa and upgraded, set UMA to 512MB, pulled out the CEC adapter and the SPDIF, and disabled mpeg-4 acceleration.

SD videos now play nice, but 1080p still makes problems and HDMI still has no sound.
What screenshot do you need?

What's that?

Kill that mediasrv and remove the Onkyo AVR and see if you get Audio with the TV.

[daydr3amer]

The HTPC is now directly connected to the TV, still no sound.
I couldnt kill the mediasrv, it always restarts itself. apt-get purge also couldnt find it. I think its something from the Sundteks DVB-C driver I use. dmesg loosk the same

[fritsch]

No idea left.

Ah, there is always one: Try OpenELEC 4.0.1 from usb stick and see.

[javum]

PVR Addons work fine, there was no ABI bump since than.

Thanks! Reboot after addon compiling and installing it helps.

[daydr3amer]

Hm damn.. okay. Ill try it when I come home this evening, gtg now.
Thanks for your help

[daydr3amer]

Wow. openELEC works like a charm. Perfect video and sound over HDMI. Only problem is I could not enable DTS-Master passthrough.

[fritsch]

Good - then the problem is within your installation. DTS-Master is a trial and error. Some AVRs don't cooperate at all.

Edit: What do you mean by "Could not enable"? Post a photo of your audio settings.

[daydr3amer]

So, you think a fresh installation with a mini iso and this how to would work? Maybe I should give it a try then.
Before, with my old setup (ubuntu 13.10 and same AVR) DTS-MA worked
