Apple TV can handle japanese language, hebrew, greek, southkorean, east european languages, if you also tag your media in original language, if you are not only hollywood-blockbuster lover and listening to american/english music. You can relax with people you love, and not waste your life on linux/android alpha products. The xbmc scraper, tags my media in library how they want and not how i want. if you have adele, after scrapping you will get adele two times. adele and adèle, so you have the same albums two times in library. there are 1000 problems with xbmc and is getting from version to version in functionality more and more worse for mac os x. only the kitch skinning is getting better. you also can not play movies you bought in itunes store.
the only reason i wanted to use xbmc is because of the possibility of adjust the framerate and bigger subtitles. if you are an apple user, now or later you will need to optimize your media for apple products, so the life will be easier.
if you want audio engine from v11 then install v11 and the problem is solved for you.
if you wanna watch movies over media center try the new plex/plex media server. sooner or later xbmc and not only xbmc will have to give up the development for apple. The developers are trying and trying over the months, but as we all can see, to solve the problem is not easy. Developers are also wasting their time and life on this OS.

Sorry, but your post here is total bullshit. XBMC v12 for Mac OS X issues are because we changed to a new audio engine and didn't have enough development support from people who were familiar with that new audio engine. It has nothing to do with it being on Mac OS X, nor are there any restrictions that prevent XBMC from working on Mac OS X. The only thing that comes close is that Mac OS X doesn't come with audio drivers that support HD audio passthrough, but HD audio is just a niche to try to keep people buying optical media.

It's great for catching up on OLD shows that you never watched, if you're lucky enough that the studio that owns the rights still has a contract with Netflix. Contract wars between Netflix and studios has left Netflix with far less streaming shows than it had just last year. Don't count on it getting you anything recent. Netflix's CEO even said that they are no longer interested in being a general conduit for TV, but instead they want to focus on Netflix exclusive shows, like House of Cards.
You don't know about the new audio engine, because it's a TOTAL AND COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF HOW XBMC HANDLES AUDIO. It is not just HD-audio. It is not illegal in every country to make BR rips. There are companies like Sigma who are making XBMC boxes that will legally playback bluray discs.
The majority of XBMC's developers come from countries where English is not the primary language. I have no idea what you're going off on, but if you have music with proper ID3 tags, then XBMC will display those tags. Saying things like "hollywood trash" and "XBMC is mostly focused on English and USA", I get the impression that you're just another bigot looking for a soapbox to stand on. Did you know it was years before Team XBMC even got an American developer?
Apple TV has been trying to catch on since 2007. Apple's best use of it so far is to be a wireless screen accessory to other Apple products. Meanwhile, XBMC, for the first time in history, is showing up on media players in real retail stores across the globe. XBMC's highly customizable UI remains unmatched by any commercial offering. I'm sorry if you never used it past the basic defaults, but XBMC is not for "causal users". XBMC is not a "fits all" solution. XBMC is for people who want to tinker the living shit out of their home theater and get the most out of it. XBMC is not for when you are two feet away from your laptop (I don't use XBMC when watching movies on my laptop), XBMC is for the living room, for the 10-foot-interface.
So go and enjoy your shitty DRM-encrusted media and physical discs that get scratched to hell and can't be used anymore. We'll still be here, for years and years and years, enjoying our freedom and beautifully managed media centers.

I think I might have tried the higher interger 8 channel in the past, or it could have been i tried this setup on 12.1. or 12.2? I can't remember now as it there has been so much mucking around trying to find the solution/work around. I will give it another go and see what happens.(2013-06-21, 20:57)Vatoe Wrote: What happens if you play a mp3 file? Do you get two channel stereo or just sound from one speaker using this setup?

With my setup through HDMI to the Bose system I get 2.1 stereo on mp3, I mostly use XBMC for movies rather than music so I haven't tested extensively.
Did you have all the pass throughs enabled when you had the 8 channel 16 bit integer setup?
I initially didn't enable LPCM and only got 2.1 Stereo on movie files even if they were DTS 5.1 AAC or AC3. To be honest I think the thing that is making the difference is not having any other media player or media capable software running with XBMC. The reason for this suspicion is that previously i have left XBMC running in the background while surfing the net ended up playing a video on youtube and when I go back to XBMC sound outputs through the internal speaker in my i7 mini not the Bose system through the HDMI cable. I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I read a post on the mac forum for 5.1 stereo issues through iTunes (yes I occasionally pay for movies :-))
hope this answers your question. Someone else will have to explain if not having media capable software running simultaneously should make a difference
