Guys, since MP4 files dont play nice with subs, is it possible to add downloaded subtitles on modified version of Kodi Exoplayer on Firestick4k just like default kodi player? Please reply thanks

I finally got around to trying the fritschfiretv build and I must say it seems to be working very well. One question - when using mainline Kodi I had a decoderfilter.xml file set up to switch off hardware acceleration for certain codecs that were causing issues on my Fire TV 4k (sorry, I can't remember where the discussion was that related to this).
With the fire TV specific build do I still need this file?

Yes. Though I switch off some codecs by default, so that user does not have to care, but no rocket science in my build :-), I only went through my personal library and checked what did not properly work and disabled it ...
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I have the latest fristchfiretv build, FireStick4K connected to receiver which can do HD audio. What settings should I use?
I tried both passthru enabled and disabled. I set speakers to 7.1/5.1 and enabled the AC3/DTS/DTS-HD options. Tried both the audio output devices (IEC and default).
In all cases when I play a TrueHD 7.1 audio file, I never get LPCM output, it always shows I'm getting the 2ch DD track.

18.9 version in preparation. Experiencable changes for you: nothing ... everything was there before. Just want to bump the version, so that those with the bumping illness don't get a cold.

Hey all,
Just got a firestick and setup kodi 18.8.0 and having lip sync issues with all movies from home network. I have read that the version from fritschfiretv has solved this issue. Can anyone let me know where to download the version and the recommend way to install? To install the last version I used downloaded app and the link troypoint.com/kodistable. Is
fritschfiretv done the same way?
Any help would be very much appreciate. Love the firestick 4K setup with kodi but can’t live with the lip sync issue. Really hoping fritschfiretv solves the issue.

I couldn't solve the audio sync issues when streaming tvheadend tv streams neither with fritsch's nor with latest alpha.
