Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I've been looking for something like this since Dharma was released and screwed up my dual audio stuff (I was running analog plus optical at the time)

xhbl: That's for your hard work on this! - I look forward to a Frodo compatable patch when the time comes.

PaulCarter: I used your Eden XBMCbuntu compiled patch in Post: #474 and it worked flawlessly for me.


My setup is fairly standard: I have an HDMI TV that does not support audio pass-through of any type and a legacy (non-HDMI) AV receiver that accepts SPDIF Toslink/Coaxial. I needed to be able to send 2 channel to HDMI and 5.1 to Optical - simultaniously because I'm lazy and don't want have to manually switch audio settings it I don't feel like playing audio through the AV receiver (also, the wife acceptance factor demands 'easy'). Using this patch I was able to configure this for the first time since the old Camelot release.

I'm running on Aopen MiniPC MP45-D hardware.
For me:
Output 1: HDMI, 2 Channel (AC3/DTS unchecked)- Audio Device HDMI, Passthrough-HDMI
Output 2: Optical Coax (AC3/DTS checked) - Audio Device Custom (hw:0,0), Custom (hw:0,0)

I couldn't get any of the standard audio device selections to work properly on output 2, so I ended up just using the custom settings and it took off.


=============
For installation, I used WinSCP to copy the patched xbmc.bin to the /usr/lib/xbmc/ folder (overwriting the one that was there) and made sure the file was still marked with the appropriate executable (755) permissions (can be done with WinSCP or the chmod command.

linux... as fast as lightning

but is there a workaround for windows7 users here too?

many thanks in advance,

Yes, check the first post - in contains the link to the Windows patched binary - just replace the existing xbmc.exe file.
