Hardware/Software
Apple TV v4.1.1 Build 1553 (iOS v4.2.1) XBMC v10.0 (Installed via apt-get) Denon AVR-890 HDMI Audio (No Coax/SPDIF) guisettings.xml ac3passthrough = changed to "true" dtspassthrough = changed to "true" channellayout = left unchanged (value was "7" for my 5.1 setup) I had the same bad stereo downmix problem as everyone else where FL+FR=FR and RR+RL=FL when playing AC3/DTS .mkv files with stock installation. After changing guisettings.xml as bruienne suggested, passthrough works beautifully on a handful of MKV files I've spot tested (all DTS, not sure if I have any AC3 to test or not). This fixed my only major issue discovered so far with XBMC on iOS, great post! |

Pressing the center button will toggle between firmware -> IOS ->something else, I forget. you are %100 correct. pressing the center button toggles between software version, software build and OS Build version. i show (in same order) 4.1.1, 1553 and 4.2.1 (8c154) iOS XBMC users PLEASE use the advanced search function before starting a new thread. Make sure to click on 'XBMC for iOS Specific Support' so your results are narrowed down correctly.

No go for me....
Hardware/Software Apple TV v4.1.1 Build 1553 (iOS v4.2.1) XBMC v10.0 (Installed via apt-get) Denon AVR-2700 SPDIF (optical) from ATV2 to the receiver guisettings.xml ac3passthrough = changed to "true" dtspassthrough = changed to "false" (no DTS on the AVR-2700) channellayout = left unchanged (value was "7" for my 5.1 setup) This did not work for me. When playing any MKV file (tried a-bunch) with AC3 audio, I get one or two "click" or "pop" sounds then silence. Movie plays with no audio and receiver remains in Pro Logic mode. It should switch to DD mode when playing these files. So apparantly this fix does not work for everyone. The question is why? One difference with my setup is my receiver does not support DTS. Maybe that's the variable? :-( |

Well I figured out my problem. It was the firmware. (At least, I think it was)
I updated to the latest one 4.2.1 (4.1.1 whichever it is) and it worked! Only problem is it's a tethered jailbreak... absolute pain in the ass I had to move my pc over to the tv to do it... so annoying, but it paid off in the end  EDIT: BTW.. I'm connected via HDMI and it's fine. channellayout was left on 7.
