gnif Wrote:@dado483 - What is this fork, what is different about it to the official AE branch... I merge AE with whats in master periodically so it is effectively EDEN+AE already.

GreenEyez Wrote:Ok DDDmian, here is the log : http://pastebin.com/FjLnurzt

For gnif, the issue is as following : When forwarding the video using the right arrow key, the video freezes sometimes, i pause and un-pause it, it starts working, but it takes 4-5 seconds for the receiver to get the DTS-HD stream back, and after that the video shutters for 2-3 seconds and everything goes back to normal (i.e. playback is perfect)

DDDamian Wrote:@elite1967 - I'm more working the windows side, but I looked at your log (as it's pretty early where gnif is and he codes all night ) and it appears AE couldn't inititalize your hardware device:

Code:

Are your settings correct for your ALSA output device? That's about all I can suggest. If that doesn't help gnif will be able to guide you further.

AE code is exactly what there is on your master AE branch

Thanks for looking at the logs, and i`m glad they help out. When you guys are done fine tuning the Windows version, hit me a PM and i`l gladly test out. I check this thread daily anyway.

• DTS-HD audio plays ok if in Exclusive Mode. There seem to be some glitches if not.
  
• TrueHD audio has constant drop-outs and some video shudders. This is the same result on all M2TS files that I tested with TrueHD audio tracks, which was 6-10 of them.
  
• LPCM audio plays fine in Shared Mode and Exclusive Mode.
  
• FLAC (16 bit 44.1 KHz) does not switch the processor in any mode.
  

• FFDShow Video with Intel QuickSync enabled for H.264 and VC-1
  
• LAV Audio with pass-through enabled for all formats
  
• LAV Splitter set to enable forced subtitles by default
  
• FFDShow Video for subtitles
  

DDDamian Wrote:@OtisPresley - welcome to the forums and thx for the feedback.

1) DTS-HD - adding user-controlled buffer size which will eliminate the drop-outs or glitches - the source currently has hard-coded buffer sizes based on testing for lowest latencies. Should be updated shortly.

2) TrueHD - between 28th and 30th an endless loop seems to have been introduced where the WASAPI code reports the incoming stream is compatible, but then is asked to re-open. Your log for this would have been very long indeed lol. Investigating

3) LPCM and FLAC are the same thing - just FLAC is compressed. It gets decompressed before it hits the AudioEngine. So AE sees both the same. The behaviour you're describing is correct for playback of 16/44.1 PCM files as that is the sink default. All audio devices should play this as a minimum as it's the Redbook CD standard. When AE is initialized it defaults to this, so playing 16/44.1 PCM files will work fine and not cause any switching unless immediately preceeded by a different format. FYI, mp3s are decoded to 16/44.1.

Shared mode will always default to your Windows sound settings unless using a RAW (passthrough) format such as DTS, Exclusive Mode resets the audio driver to match the source format or closest format the driver reports as compatible.

For the SandyBridge issues try searching the forums - can't help you there.

Thx for the feedback - working on the glitches you mentioned and hope the info provided helps.

Compiled the latest version and also grabbed the 29th version. Ill have a tinker about tonight and if you need any thing testing let me know

My Denon 4311ci omitted numerous errors With the latest build I compiled today, but the 29th was actually far more stable.

Anyway, let me know if you need anything. And awesome work on the WASAPI side of things
