now that you guys got iso settings to work, you can use the guides below to enjoy your favorite bd movie in dts-hs and truehd audio condecs.

you can launch xbmc from this folder- xbmc_hd_audio. with your dts-hd/truehd capable video card and avr, you'll see dts-hd/truehd flash on your avr display. note- if you have any special playercorefactory configuration for external player, you might want to turn it off.

if you're using win7 mce, here are step by step to pass-through dts-hd and truehd codecs to your avr via hdmi:

1. download- w7 codec pack
2. download- shark007 32bit. if you're running w7 x64, you have to download this too- shark007 64-bit
3. follow this step by step visual instruction after 1&2 downloaded and the settings have to be correct for it to work properly- (dts-hd and truehd pass-through)

you'll see dts-hd and truehd display on your avr during bd playback. i tried gnomeo/juliet (dts-hd) and how to train your dragon (truehd) using both xbmc and mce, and both players can playback dts-hd and truehd fine.

enjoy it!

Hi,

you are talking about bitstreaming?
I thought PowerDVD is capable of passing through the Audio to AVR by default, isn't it?

What's the special deal with the xbmc folder-version you linked?

you're missing the big picture here. we're using xbmc for its superb library and gui features. the enclosed xbmc is capable of bitstreame dts-hd and truhd without an external player.

ofcourse the standalone powerdvd11 and tmt5 can bitstream dts-hd and truehd audio codecs without xbmc, but you still need xbmc to compile all your video, music, etc in a centralize location and it allow user to use their favorite mce remote control too.

Is this a preview version of eden?
I cannot run it because auf a missing msvcr100.dll and sqlite 3 components. I installed vc++ 2008 x86 redistributable for themsvcr100.dll, but it's still missing. What do I need to run this version of xbmc out of the folder?

I am missing two things in actual xbmc. #1 is the bitstreaming support for hd audio (which is upcomming with eden!?) and second is the support of bluray menu out of ripped disc-folders. And as I heard the second feature can not being expected so soon maybe never.

please download 10.1 “Dharma”, but launch xbmc from this folder- xbmc_hd_audio. you'll see all the goodies (dts-hd and truehd) in audio settings and you'll get dts-hd and truehd with your capable avr.

This is a really nice feature, tested it and it works great !
Have some hickups in the audio, every 4-5 seconds, need to sort that out.

[foxm2k]

I had Dharma installed already. Didn't work until I downloaded vc++ 2010 x86 redistributable (with 2008 it didn't work). Afterwards I found msvcr100.dll in syswow64 directory and your pre-11 version started. Looks extremely good to me! According to the timeschedule... when can whe expect v.11 final? Now I will have a hard time waiting for it

Unfortunately I will still have to use PowerDVD as xbmc will not support bd menus in the next couple of versions.

[Mr_Knight]

That is strange, i just checked and i don't have the vc++2010 x86 only the 2008 version and it works fine.

[bluray]

Didn't work until I downloaded vc++ 2010 x86 redistributable (with 2008 it didn't work).

i'm not sure why, but i didn't have to download it. it work fine on my htpc's without it.

one other note- if you don't like my backgrounds, you can change that too. i got those swoopy and bird backgrounds off the internet, and i thought that it is cool.

I had a clean install of windows and ckecked for msvcr100.dll with everything (http://www.voidtools.com --> it's fantastic, check it out if you don't know it already). File didn't exist on my system. Then installed vc++ 2008 runtime and checked again.. file didn't exist. Today installed vc++ 2010 runtime, checked again and now it is there in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and xbmc pre-11 is starting up.

sorry, my htpc's works flawless "as is", and I don't need the tool in your link. i haven't update anything for ages. i haven't heard anyone need it either!

[foxm2k]

Not sure you messed it up. I was talking about two things... not having the library in a clean windows installation and a tool which searches your hard discs for filenames / folders in far less then a second by using the master file table (MFT). I have more then 500.000 files on my main windows system and can tell you wether there is a certain file anywhere or not instantly. Ever tried that with windows default search? Just regard it as a hint to a great little tool that runs without installation. Now I will stop... and don't want to sell you something you don't want

man, i thought that we're talking about iso and hd audio codecs and ways to configure xbmc to bitstream it all along. i didn't know you changed the subject to something else. i have 20-30 bd movies at the most, and that is all i can afford for now. i do not want any special library tool to run it. i'm trying to keep my setting as plain as possible!

[foxm2k]

Maybe it's because of the lack of my english skills...
We talked about a missing .dll file and I wanted to share a hint to a tool for searching hard discs for files and folders extremely fast what I really learned to appreciate.
Using default Windows search (CTRL + F in Windows Explorer) it takes me ~ 2 min to just make a search of msvcr100.dll or *.dll in just C:\Windows. Ever tried making a windows search *.dll in C:\ Takes up to 30 min with my windows installation.
Despite of the fact that I often have problems with the windows indexing service not having indexed folders that I'd like it to look through....
With a tool using the mft (like the one I linked) I make a search of *.dll in C:\ D:\ and E:\ and getting the complete list in 0,2 sec.
Sorry for getting way off topic here! Won't happen again, I promise.

I have been playing around with this external player and seem to have issues wit the playISO.bat file working well.

I keep getting this error in the log file

NOTICE: CExternalPlayer::ExecuteAppW32: "C:\Batch\playISO.bat" "Z:\3D_Vid\Legend.iso"
10:13:07 T:2632 M:2637074432 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer::ExecuteAppW32 - Failure: 2
10:13:07 T:2632 M:2637074432 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Stop

Any ideas what may be causing it?
