XBMC-Eden11.0 HD-audio (with all BluRay add-on) and Frodo alpha ?

Thanks,

I'd have to go with Frodo A3. One major improvement (at least on my system), is when pausing and resuming a file w/HD audio, the sound resumes immediately, instead of a couple seconds later as it did with the Eden final HD audio patch version.
There are other non-audio-related improvements as well, although i have yet to mess with them. Namely - the custom video nodes addition.

Did U notice that CPU usage with Frodo A3 during playback of MP3 files was between 60-65%, But with HD video files (MKV,Blu-Ray) only 15-20%.
With XBMC-Eden11.0 HD-audio, MP3 and HD files playback show CPU usage for both only 20-30%.
Any suggestion Bluray ?

So hd-audio is not possible with openelec? Only with windows?

Thanks alot for the guide, blu.
Works very well here.

However, I found out that my Samsung TV misses sync on 24p material.
How do I use the latency settings in advancedsettings.ini on Damian Eden-RC2 build? I can't seem to get them to work.

Where did you hear that. You can bitstream with the alpha xbmcbuntu and frodo openelec builds.

Maybe you can ask the question in this thread- 25fps movies use 60hz - looks funny. Can I force 50hz?......

Here in this forum
Is that frodo openelec build a bit stable?

Sorry, I never own a Marantz but it should work. It seem to include all the modern technologies in it.....

Perfect thanks man,
Just another quick question, going to ungrade my intagated graphics as well , and reading around the forums you seem to be informed, what are your thoughts on the Asus 6450? seeing the i only have a 200w picopsu to fit my case, i am struggling. what are your thoughts bro.

Also would that card work for all hd playback maybe even 3d?
