RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - voip-ninja - 2012-06-26 Probably to the HD Audio for Windows testing thread since that appears to have superseded this work. Guys, I have been reluctant to move from this patch build for Eden final to a nightly, hoping that we would eventually see an 11.1 that had "official" support for HD Audio. Anyways, I'm seeing something odd and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or comments. I have an HTPC with an ATI Radeon 6450 which I use to bitstream HD Audio to my AVR. I had been using a Yamaha RX-V1800 and just recently purchased and installed a brand new Onkyo 818. This new Onkyo supports HDMI 1.4, etc. What I have observed is that, similar to the Yamaha, if I simply set the XBMC output to "match frame-rate to source" and choose the HD audio options I get correct HD bit-streaming with no dropped frames (as reported by the debug overlay in XBMC). However, what I observe with the Onkyo that I did not see with the Yamaha is that periodically I see what appears to be a "jump" or "double frame" during playback in which it seems as though the playback jerks for a fraction of a second. I don't see any frame drops so I am suspicious that this is some kind of re-sync happening with the Onkyo which I did not have with the Yamaha. Any thoughts? Would switching to the HD Audio branch matter at all for something like this? Thanks. RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - PatrickBateman - 2012-06-27 Hey, It could have something to do with the video convert (scaler) of the Onk. Personally I don't like my video molested and therefore disable all video convert from my AVR. Try disabling your video convert (scaler) on your Onk in the settings menu, it will probably disable you OSD but I use my AVR display for information purposes anyway, and therefore don't miss my AVRs OSD on my TV. Untouched audio and video are more important for me than my OSD Give that a shot and see hoe it goes Pat~ RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - voip-ninja - 2012-06-27 Thanks, I probably should have mentioned that I have the Onkyo set to "pass-thru" for the HDMI connection from the XBMC, so no processing shenanigans should be happening.

Do you get the jerky playback on all files? How have you setup your TV? I've recently bought a new TV and now that windows is set to 1080p24, I get judder in some files and audio sync issues on all files. Before I had my htpc set up as 1080p60 and had my Onkyo do all the 3:2 conversion. Everything looked fluent then.

It's hard to say as I've only had the AVR for about 1 week and have not had time to watch a lot of content. I am definitely though noticing more lip sync issues and the previously mentioned judder problem has been occurring periodically. I will say however that the audio upgrade with Audyssey XT32 is impressive. I just updated to last night's build with the new audio engine so will have to do some more testing and see if the problem persists. Does anyone know if the global lip sync settings still work in the latest builds? I might have to go in and put a ~150ms delay in for my 24P content. The Onkyo has an audio video sync adjustment but if I am looking at it correctly it can only add audio delay, not reduce it (which is what I need).

I'm still running Daniela's build, I only tried the nightlies on one occasion but it crashed a lot. Tried a fresh install, but it was'n't stable for me, even without playing any media. Is it working out for you? Regarding the audio sync: it's true that the Onkyo only has positive audio delay but in the gui I had to reduce delay, while in the advancedsettigns.xml I had to use positive number +325 vs -325 in xbmc itself. Downside to setting a delay on the amp is that it is set for all framerates/resolutions. Not handy if you've set your htpc to 60Hz for example and have xbmc switch to 24p when needed. RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - voip-ninja - 2012-06-30 The main problem in the nightly builds that I have seen is that when I exit XBMC it can take up to a minute to actually exit out. I did find one setting in catalyst control that I changed that could have an impact on this, "enforce smooth motion". I thought I had that turned on at some point before, we'll see what it does. RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - Raytestrak - 2012-07-01 Just tried the latest nightly. VERY briefly. Going back to a backup of Daniela's. Didn't have your exit-issue, but it didn't pickup my existing artwork, so xbmc started downloading banner and fanart again. And it force closed on me within 5 minutes. Balls .... If there's anything I dislike about XBMC it's this. It doesn't handle fanart logically. Everything is cached at least twice and it doesn't cleanup in a proper manner too. Will try again sometime with a completely new database.

Thought I'd share a few pointers about ripping/handling/playing. I would also like to extend my thanks here. That would be for both the ability to playback DTSHD and TrueHD content in my movies, and, as I've recently discovered, MLP content. What a huge step toward all-out integration of media - Thanks! (and the above procedure has also been invaluable in automating the FLAC conversion - awesome) Now, for my question: I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for keeping multichannel music separate from stereo music in one's music library. I like to set up my collection such that I use the Artist view in a wall format (Aeon MQ3), and clicking on any artist thumb will bring up thumbs by album. What I'd ideally like to do is to set up a music 'set', entitled "multichannel music" or the like. From what I've found, this option only works for movies at the moment. The only alternative I can think of is to make my multichannel music have a uniform artist metadata field. If I made all my multi content have artist metadata of "multichannel", i could keep them separate from the stereo stuff, and sort by album within this makeshift artist category. I'd rather not have to do that, though, as it's a workaround/compromise, and my OCD tendencies will come forth and wreak havoc over time (e.g. if I want to access them with another application down the road, the metadata won't make sense and will look dumb). Does anyone have any solutions, less-invasive-workarounds, etc to this issue?

RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - sialivi - 2012-07-04 The ideal thing would be to have a smart playlist that filters by number of audiochannels, but unfortunatly it looks like smart playlists currently only support audiochannels for videos. Might be a good idea to request support for this. RE: [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats - goldsac - 2012-07-04 Thanks for chiming in. atlind - I hadn't thought of using Genre. That's actually quite tolerable compared to using the artist field. sialivi - Exactly. Smart playlists would be ideal. Hopefully a future update tweaks things in our favour.
