Background: I have an Asus Chromebox running Xubuntu 14.04, XBMC 13.2 connecting to a Pioneer VSX-822-K and then to my 55” LG (all HDMI). Intel Audio and Pioneer receivers don’t get along great, particularly on 2 channel audio at 44.1 kHz. Josbeir over on the OpenELEC forums seems to have come up with a work around by tweaking ActiveAE.cpp (http://openelec.tv/forum/68-audio/67773-...k?start=30) but, this does appear to involve having to recompile every time a new version of XBMC / KODI is released. I’m ok with this as a stop gap.
Action: So, I figured I would pull the Gotham (13.2) source from git, add the two lines above around line 1435 in ActiveAE.cpp, save, and build. I did this on a desktop (i7 3770 Intel HD Graphics) running Xubuntu 14.04, and followed these instructions (http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Linux). XBMC launches fine on the desktop, but now I need to get this build onto my Chromebox to test if this works.
Noob Problem: What’s the best way to take the XBMC I just compiled and install it on my Chromebox? The xbmc folder where all the compiling took place is (expectedly) noticeably larger. I suppose I could copy the whole folder to a flash drive and launch the specific xbmc.bin from within that directly while its attached to the Chromebox, but if this audio tweak works, I would want to just backup my current config as necessary and install this new version in place of the old one.
TL ; DR ~ How do I install a freshly compiled version of XBMC from machine A onto machine B (Assume same or similar enough OS and hardware).
Thanks!!
Code:
if (format.m_sampleRate < 48000)
format.m_sampleRate = 48000;
