- 23.976 is perfect, as is 59.940, 24, 60
- Haven't tested mpeg2 yet (OTA HD)
- Dolby TrueHD & ATMOS decode perfectly to 8 channel. Sounds as good as AVR doing it
- DTS-MA, same story, decodes fine
- MVC MKV's play great in full, frame-packed 3D (tested rip of 'Exodus: Gods and Kings' and 'Avatar')
Two screenshots to share (the dropped frames is likely due to SMB vs. NFS?):
- ATMOS test
- 3D MVC MKV test
Issues I'm seeing are stuttering (over wired SMB) with above & high bitrate test clips (Birds @ 90Mbps, & Jellyfish @ 100Mbps). I tried NFS, but it was worse. I have a Synology 1812+, and not sure how to use NFS properly. I believe I need to set Proto to UDP & rsize to 32768... but, don't know how to do this with my RPi2.
I would suggest maybe taking the files and placing them on a USB drive first and testing. This will at least narrow down whether its a network or playback issue. If it is a network issue then as suggested look at mounting the NFS share using the storage mount options at boot. I use the following NFS options and things seem great to me:
Options=udp,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nolock,nfsvers=3
Now my question I just want quick clarification on the DTS-MA/TrueHD decoding. I personally have a 5.1 setup, however it sounds like if I disable passthrough and set my speaker configuration at 7.1 I should get PCM for DTS-MA/TrueHD correct? This group is amazing and definitely is helping sales of the Pi2
