[WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats

Hello Group,

I am late arriving to the party.. but fell in love this weekend, with a woman named "Eden!!!"

Anyway, just wanted to make sure before I read all 147 pages of this thread that the most recent versions are in the 1st post of this sticky, which hasn't been updated since april.

I am currently using "xbmc 11.0 pre git: 20120228 - 4bddfbd", based on a guide, but am not sure if this is the same version of 11.0 that is posted on this page. I am most concerned with hd audio (dolby true HD and dts-ma or dts-hd) and do both versions in the 1st page provide native hd audio support?

Thank you very much for your time and responses,

jhaze

yes, this patch will provide bit-stream support of HD audio formats if that is your question.

which is recommended for truehd and dtsma?
1. DanielaE release
2. DDDamian
3. xbmc official snapshot/testbuild

Thanks.

I would suggest DanielaE release on 1st post if you want maximum stability & compatibility, AudioEngine in the nightlies/snapshots is still a work in progress and still appears to have quite a few bugs & annoyances.

Just out of curiosity, what are the major differences between the 2 versions posted on The First page, I'm using the Eden version and looking for the most recent stable version of this patch.

DanielaE's is the full Final Eden release with the HD Audio whereas DDDamian's is the Release Candidate 2 (RC2) Beta version of Eden with HD Audio.

From what I remember, the reason for this is some people stated they had problems when they moved from DanielaE's RC2 version to the Final Eden release, but since no one who stated they had problems submitted any logs or detailed bug reports it was thought to be down to individuals particular setup's.

However since no one could be 100% what was going on without logs or sample clips of files to see if what if anything changed between RC2 & Final, Damian has kept the RC2 build available so people can rollback to it if they wish.

DanielaE also has the first Frodo (12) alpha on her 1st post with the HD audio patch, this is the newest version but this is mainly for people who want 10bit H.264 file playback, as shortly after Eden was released the ffmeg library in XBMC was bumped to a newer version.

I created an account just to say thanks and amazing job.

My receiver always showed a dolby digital logo, so I always assumed things were fine. Some movies, though, would cause horrible sound at times -- as if a speaker is blown. I assumed that was the case. After installing this I now have many more DD logos appearing on my receiver, and I've played scenes I know would make my ears bleed in the past, and they sound perfect now.

I switched from Mediabrowser to XBMC last week. This was the icing on the HTPC cake.

Ahh,
Thanks for the info...

So the frodo version on the first page, is basically Eden final with a ffmpeg lib update? Are/were there any other additional changes to that build that would hinder plugins/skins etc from working? Was there any other major changes between these 2 builds of Daniellas on the front page?

I'f the difference between Eden final and the frodo version is just the ffmpeg bump that's fantastic and I'll move onto that version for a short while (until ae is complete)

I believe it was too early in the Frodo cycle for any significant changes, aside from the ffmeg lib bump, I've not used it myself as I'm happy with the patched Eden Final version. You could try it out in portable mode until you're happy it doesn't break anything like skins.

Cool,

I'll give it a blast
Cheers for the info, much appreciated.
