Hello everyone,
First thanks for having a great community and forum.
I've been browsing and troubleshooting through a lot of walkthroughs here and
read many threads without posting.
I recently purchased an HDMI splitter and connected my HTPC running XBMC Frodo 12.2
to my TV and my AVR, which is in turn connected to my projector.
The problem I have now encountered is that once HTPC and AVR are not directly
connected anymore, DTS/DD are not possible anymore through the HDMI splitter.
Playback becomes extremely choppy and debug mode says it runs at 4 FPS,
while my AVR reports no digital signal, just stereo. (for full hardware details look at the bottom)
When I disable having a DTS- and AC3-capable receiver under System/Audio,
playback works fine and is obviously in stereo.
I believe the HDMI splitter prevents or scrambles up the handshake between HTPC and AVR and
this causes these issues. I attached the XBMC log here. http://pastebin.com/gFzWqvkY
This is causing the issue I believe:
I hope this is not a logical consequence of using an HDMI splitter and hope somebody might have an idea.
Thanks for taking the time!
