Hello All!
I had been using the semi-nightly builds and started using the AE builds last week, thank you for all the dedication and hard work
I have been configuring and changing my setup and was holding off posting results until that was accomplished on my end
- Tested using following configuration:
ATV2 4.2.2 (2203)
XBMC PRE-11.0 Git:20110622-d4c956b (Compiled: Jun 23 2011)
ATV2 connected via optical & HMDI to Onkyo PR-SC5508 Preamp
Onkyo PR-SC5508 connected via XLR to Onkyo PA-MC5500
Display output via HDMI to Samsung PN64D8000
Forced 16bit in ATV2 settings
XBMC Audio Settings - 7.1 / AC3 / DTS
XBMC input set to Harmony
Initial reaction to this build
- Navigation is improved greatly in response
- Same issue when scanning library (attempted Force Refresh no luck)
- randomitems.py script failure to load on launch (on any skin)
-
Loaded .mkv / DTS / 5.1
- Noticed initial loud POP when preamp switches to DTS, this is also there in the semi-nightly build as well... Only experienced when using ATV2 XBMC though, the POP cannot be reproduced on any other source
- Great Picture & Sound
- Fast Loading
MediaInfo
Loaded xvid (.avi) / DD (AC3) / 5.1
- Experienced low frame rates (stuttered visually)
Loaded .mkv / DTS / 5.1
- Loaded this to test the loud POP and when switching to DTS it was experienced with this file as well
Loaded .mp4 / DD (AAC) / 5.1
- This file got downmixed and the stream was PCM 2.0
- With build NON-AE 20110618-eedceeb (Compiled : Jun 18 2011) (unofficial) audio is correctly transmitted as DD 5.1
- I did notice in the log that AAC is not enabled for passthrough not sure if this relevant or a known issue
MediaInfo
After log i did load several .vob images and all were fine as suspected
Not sure if any of this helps, but thanks to everyone involved!
