Koying, is HD passthrough likely to be possible in the future? or is it just a limitation of the hardware, and wont happen? I note that in the amazon fireos audio settings, the options include DD+ passthrough HDMI, but I dont think it mentions DTS.

There is a hidden folder .xbmc. Just use

Code:

cd .xbmc

As per the wiki the answer is no... not at this time anyway.

thanks for the lightening answer
what about multichannel flac files with 24/96 (both for audio only and for embedded in mkv vide)

Ie video issues, audio issues, remotes, pvrs, side loading, etc

Its probably a good idea to explain that the directory depend on the version of XBMC installed

For XBMC on Ouya Version:
adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/Android/data/tv.ouya.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

For SPMC Version:
adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/Android/data/com.semperpax.spmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

For Regular XBMC (gotham v13) Version:
adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

Quote:where org.xbmc.xbmc is replaced with your package name such as tv.ouya.xbmc (XBMC for Ouya) or com.semperpax.spmc (SPMC)

You download the latest nightly from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/arm/ put it in the XBMC dir and run the installer. It will install XBMC to
your Amazon FireTV. I also added the option to install autopilot and an uninstall option.

DTS-HD may not be a limitation of the hardware since Qualcomm shows the Snapdragon 600 series chips has it as part of the audio specs:

However, Amazon may not have implemented it. TrueHD may be a different story though, but if you have TrueHD+DD were the TrueHD track has the flag for the DD track XBMC for Ouya did default to the DD track, but Gotham doesn't.

I guess the thing to remember here, is we're just talking about passing the bitstream directly through HDMI to allow the other end to do the decoding, not asking the firetv itself to do any of the decoding.

To be honest, this is pretty much the only thing stopping me planning this as a long term main XBMC solution. I can live without VC-1 playback, I can just re-encode anything that needs to be done, there's a few other trivial niggles which I have no doubt will get worked out, and dont really bother me. But no HD audio passthrough is a biggie for me, have a lot of media with DTS-MA tracks, and a fairly expensive audio system downstream to make the most of all that data. So if its a 'never going to happen' situation, then I might have to look into an intel NUC, Which I dint really want to do. However, if there is someeglimmer og hope that it may one day, in the not too distant future, then I will hang around gladly to sissyt in anyway I can
