FTV: Gotham (13.2) and Kodi (14.0 alpha 3) no audio for avi and mp4
#1
Just tried both Gotham 13.2 and Kodi (14.0 alpha 3) on my new Fire TV. but same result:

- Playing MKVs (720p, 1080p, x.264 with DTS/MA => work ok, passthrough is enabled

- AVI files and MP4 files with audio tracks in MP3 or AAC => video ok, but no audio

I have played with the audio settings (passthrough on or off etc), but no effect.

Has someone seen this before ? I can't imagine my configuration is very unique:

Fire TV with latest firmware, XBMC/Kodi sideloaded via ADB. FireTV connected to Onkyo TX-NR636.

Turn up the volume within XBMC. Passthrough isn't affected since the volume control in XBMC doesn't apply to passthrough.

Will try. My Onkyo receiver shows incoming PCM data over HDMI, but as I mentioned there's no audio. If you
hit the OK button on the FireTV remote, it looks like the audio got recognized correctly (MP3 or AAC, stereo).

Actually I am pleasently surprised with the performance. Even in Gotham 13.2 a 1080p stream with a fairly high
bit rate and DTS-MA (or TrueHD) played fine, streamed from my SMB share.

If only MP4s and AVIs work....
