Thanks, updated post with some more info but its a definite improvement, I think the network timeouts are when the Samba servers sometimes needs to spin-up an array from power down. Downloading the files now.

Yeah, try from local disk, please. Network issues suck like hell :-)

Clannad has no audio. This is by intention.

Yes, VDPAU is stuck. Wait, this is a Vmware with gpu passthrough?

You can try upgrading the nvidia driver, but I have no more idea what can be done additionally. Try OpenELEC on the host and see if that works without issues. You also need the /storage/.config/xorg.conf there.

No, don't. Get another nvidia or something.
Btw. the driver seems to get stuck, we cannot fix that.

Well I have just replaced the GT620 with an AMD R5-230. So far it is a mixture, it works better with PCI passthrough but I cant get any HD audio out of it at all. AC3, DTS and PCCM 2.0 work. Multichannel PCM results in high frequency noise through the correct number of channels (Follows however many I set) and HD Bitstreaming just gives no signal. Is there some suggested tweaks I could try? (Running Kodibuntu RC)

Threads gone quiet so I thought I would report my findings using Kodibuntu RC with VFIO PCI Passthrough. AMD works best but I am affected by the strange bug of being unable to playback HD audio unless using 60Hz.
Nvidia GT620:
Wont reboot (Some sort of incompatibility with VFIO, also uses old style interrupts)
All resolutions and bitstreams work
Irritating pausing of video with accompanying VdpDecoderRender long decoding error
Issues playing full rate 7.1 TrueHD
AMD R5-240:
Reboots fine (Uses proper MSI interrupts with VFIO too)
Only 1080P/60 works for HA Audio
No playback pausing so far (Will need a few days to confirm)
Issues playing full rate 7.1 TrueHD
Slightly slower to start playing videos and going to video settings interrupts playback slightly
