I have question about xbmc_hd_audio vs this version xbmc: XBMCSetup-20111106-c68ef0b-master.exe from yesterday, why on this newest I don't have all options with DTS? I see only one options DTS?
xbmc_hd_audio is it special version, is it compiled with special options?

bluray Wrote:there is no other xbmc other pre-eden(whic is xbmc_hd_audio in my link) has dts-hd and truehd audio options.

forall Wrote:@blueray - Ok I understand, but when I run this version XBMCSetup-20111106-c68ef0b-master.exe I don't see truehd option. I only see one option DTS.

forall Wrote:When I run xbmc from your link I have more options about DTS ( e.g LPCM, TrueHD/DTS-HD / as in the third photo on this link http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=479.0). I am wondering what is wrong? Your xbmc version from July, my newest version is from November and it doesn't contain TrueHD audio option.

bluray Wrote:let me repeat- regardless of how new xbmc version you have, there is no xbmc with dts-hd and truehd other than pre-eden.

the only way to get dts-hd and truehd options is to use pre-eden in my link.

forall Wrote:Ok, now I understand. Does you have a newer version, because from this link http://www.2shared.com/file/AyTBC-XM/xbmc_hd_audio.html file is from August 5 and sometime when I stops a movie, xbmc is freezing

ptaylor999 Wrote:Hi Bluray. It's me again.

Still haven't managed to get the hd-ma sound to play through xbmc like you say it can. it still switches constantly between hd-ma and dts, with no sound at all. And in the process of trying to make it work I've lost TrueHD in every player. Sooooo ...

ptaylor999 Wrote:... I'm going to try a new approach. I'm soon going to reinstall windows from scratch, including wiping my C drive. My plan is to start fresh with the goal of making your plan work. I want to ONLY install what is absolutely necessary to achieve this goal. Currently I have every audio and video codec and filter under the sun installed as I was a noobie and was trying different things. It's a bit of a mess. I have since determined exactly how I want my movies to play and what format I want to use. The plan is to have a 100% .iso movie library that plays through your version of XBMC. But I have some questions:

ptaylor999 Wrote:- I'm running an Intel HD Audio setup (Core i5). Will I need to install any filters or extra codecs in addition to the Intel HD drivers to get HD audio to play from XBMC as per your plan? I don't feel I need the Realtek drivers as my Intel drivers should cover it. Any advice here?

ptaylor999 Wrote:- Will your xbmc_hd_audio mount iso files? Or do I still need Virtual Clone?

ptaylor999 Wrote:So, just so we're clear, my initial plan is to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate, install the Intel Drivers, install XBMC Dharma 10.1, and then run XBMC from the xbmc_hd_audio folder, as per your instructions. Simple and straight forward. Am I missing anything?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

elecga Wrote:Hey bluray,

Thanks for your tips on getting true-hd and dts-ma working until official eden comes out!

I had a question about the step of installing either Dharma 10.1 or as you said in post 344, you can install the eden version you posted.

Is there any reason why I can't install the official nightlies instead of the one you linked to? As long as I launch xbmc from the hd audio folder?

Sailfast Wrote:Thanks a lot for this excellent guide bluray!

I had no problems setting it up and finally I got the DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD lights to shine up on my Onkyo 606. Big thanks!

I'm using a nightly build of XBMC by the way.

First I want to say "thank you" for the outlook on the potential future of xbmc.

Are there any plans from your side to update to a more recent nightly pre-eden version? I ask as some updates were incorporated in the latest pre-eden that seem very necessary to me (e.g. working wheather or some skins that need a pre-eden version later than yours)

Regards
