Hi all,
My setup is as follows:
Raspberry Pi -> TV -> Samsung Receiver -> 5.1 Speaker Setup
My issue is that my Samsung "Receiver" is really just a blu-ray player, and only has an HDMI out and no HDMI in. That means I can't connect my Pi to my Receiver, which means I can't bitstream HD audio and have it decoded by the receiver. My TV also isn't capable of decoding DTS etc, so I'm left with no way to get DTS out of my setup (since xbmc cannot decode DTS).
As a workaround, I setup minidlna on my Pi, which I can then access through my Samsung Smart TV, and I can play the movies there directly and get DTS sound.
Is my only option to buy another receiver? Can anyone think of a creative setup so I could play movies in XBMC and get DTS?
Thanks!
