its the same installer, you just install it in a folder somewhere, then when installed create a shortcut to the kodi executable but put add -p to it, like this:

"X\KODI\kodi.exe" -p

Its this -p switch that makes it portable. Its loads better using kodi like this as full backups are much easier.

Essentially this -p switch tells KODI to store the userdata locally in this folder instead of in your profile, here is the location:

X:\KODI\portable_data\userdata

Yeah as I was perusing the thread and other threads, I literally stumbled onto the small problem I was having - I didn't copy over into portable_data, I just copied over. So blew off the directory and reinstalled and copied INTO the RIGHT subdirectory - all is well know, kinda.

I'll work on madVR later, but how do I set this to passthrough ALL audio? I have the ac3filter decode and send out AAC in AC3 format that my receiver can decode. It can decode all others by itself. This seems to passthrough everything, but the ac3filter isn't seeing the output from a AAC.

Are all these filters internal?

Set to use internal filters and configure LAV Audio by checking all supported formats. No need for AC3filter.

Let's start again. I did not have AAC unchecked in formats for LAV to decode (it doesn't), so un-checking that and now AC3filter takes it.

No if I can just figure out why all the back are being seen by the HK as side-channels, and silent, I'll be REALLY happy.

THAT YOU!!!!! for the help. Sometimes I ask questions before I just stop and LOOK.
