Nice patch, made into my build. I just have two movies with dts-ma so that's all I could test but one thing I noticed is that the audio packets are calculated to be of 170.67 ms duration in CDVDPlayerAudio:: DecodeFrame() because audioframe.size is 32768 (it is 2048 for dts core). The invalid duration can cause audio sync issues with drop/dupe packet sync method. I think the packet duration should be the same 10.67 ms for all (?) dts fomats because HD formats are "just" added on top of core so it seems logical that the duration is also the same (although I was unable to find any specs on this).

I use a patch to prevent mkv/dts stutter (ignoring dts timestamps) and that immediately failed. It only works correctly if I force the packet duration to be 10.67 ms for dts(-ma). I made the following small change in my build to correct this (although I am not sure if this is the right approach): https://github.com/a11599/xbmc/commit/111ca9863333155e78ed88346f23b86895912886

The problem is TrueHD, the video is extremely choppy! Unwatchable.
I tried checking and unchecking "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen"
Same result...
Any idea?

I have the same problem with one MKV, made with MakeMKV I think. The video is choppy and the audio goes out of synch. It happens only with this one file, everything else plays fine.

Daniela, thanks for the patch. You did what the XBMC devs should had done months ago: patch the current AE so it can bitstream HD audio and then start work on the new AE.

Hi just installed this and noticed that 'Movie sets' no longer work..

Sorry for asking what might appear to be a dumb question but I am new to using XBMC. Where can I get this patch as I am setting up my HTPC today. Thanks

Yes they do. Enable in settings.

Hmmmm, where is setting for this?? I didnt have to change anything in any of the othere builds!!Huh I can get into sets via 'sub menu' but they wont show up in my MOVIES library..


- Montellese - 2012-02-05

The setting is in the Video settings. There's a new setting to grouping movies into sets. This was added because of the new TMDb scraper which automatically retrieves sets. There are many people out there (including myself) that don't want to use sets so we had to add a setting to enable/disable displaying sets. In earlier builds users had to do some manual work with NFOs etc to get sets into XBMC in the first place so those that didn't want any sets just didn't have to do anything.

I told you so.......everyone is ready for XBMC with HD audio options. As you can see, it's over 3,000 hits in just a couple days. HD audio should be one of the top priority in the next XBMC release! Smile

Great playback and HDMI audio support - everything I've thrown at it has worked!

Hi I am using 11.9 as that was the most stable for me as 11.10 had video problems

Why did u update was there problems with other drivers and if so what where they and driver version.

Was wondering what 12.1 had over the older driver.
