Ok guys, I've tried all versions of XBMC all the way up to the nightly, and I cannot get it to bitstream TrueHD or DTS-HD MA no matter what guide I try! I have everything set as WASPI HDMI and all the correct codecs enabled, and nothing. Other videos play fine through bitstream, it's just the HD Audio ones that dont. Is it Windows 8.1? The latest video/audio drivers for my intel cpu are installed and they arent showing HD audio codecs being able to play.
Even with MPC-HC and bitstreaming enabled, it will pass through everything but HD audio....
Also, I tried to set up MPC-HC x64 as my default player in XBMC with this config:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="mpc-hc64"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
I changed the default path and player name in experimenting because all the guides I find aren't for MPC-HC's 64bit version. I've tried deleting the XBMC's playercorefactore.xml as well in attempts to get this to work.
I would however rather use XBMC's built in player, as the bitstreaming issue is what I'm ultimately trying to work around, if I can get that working on it's own I'll be a-ok.
Unless there's a much better reason to use MPC-HC right now. However, I'd still like to get some input on what I'm doing wrong for both accounts. Now, here's my setup pics.
