I am playing .mkv files. Some are DD+ others Dolby True Hd and as I've already said it doesn't work through HDMI either.
I have a gaming pc plugged directly into the TV which displays in 4k and gives 7.1 sound.
If i plug the pi into the receiver, I get 7.1 sound but no 4k. If I plug it into the TV, I get 4k but no 7.1.
Its supposed to pass through 4k but it doesn't work which is why I'm using the tv instead. I thought this would be a simple solution but now I'm stuck between choosing either 4k or 7.1 sound.
It cant be both the tv and the receiver that claim to be able to do things that they cant. It has to be RPi and some settings that need changing.
4k wont pass through my receiver which is why it is connected directly to the tv. The tv recognises a 7.1 signal when it comes from other sources so it should from the pi as well.
I already have the receiver connected via HDMI arc and tried that for audio as well but it makes no difference and besides, it is the signal going into the TV that is the problem, not the one going out.
Hi
I have an RPi 4 (Kodi 18.9) plugged directly into my Samsung UE40MU6240 TV via HDMI. TV is connected to Sony STR-DN1050 receiver via HDMI Arc.
I have been trying to set the TV audio out to Dolby Digital+ but the option is greyed out in the settings. I can play a UHD programme through Amazon Prime and I can select Dolby Digital+ in the TV settings when it is playing but when I go back to Kodi to play a similar programme, the TV switches back to PCM so I think kodi is not outputting the right signal.
I have tried to enable and disable pass through but it makes no difference. The number of output channels is set to 2.0 and Best Match.
Any ideas please?
Everything works fine in Kodi 18 on the Pi4
Are you saying that the location of the backup file is skin specific? I would have thought it would put it somewhere a bit more obvious rather than saving it in a hidden folder.
Hi,
I'm using the skin Phenomenal on a R Pi4
I'm not sure if this question is skin specific or if it is the same for every skin... In settings I can select 'Backup skin settings inc. menus', I select that and I get a message saying backup successful but I cannot locate where the backup file has been saved to.
Any ideas please?
Have you tried?:
shutdown -r nowIt doesn't matter what I select in the audio settings, it still goes to the HDMI and besides, I don't want it to go to both HDMI and analogue, just analogue.
Hi,
I have an R Pi 4 running Libreelec 9.2.6. I have HDMI connected to TV and audio goes to HDMI when videos are playing. I also have the analogue out going to a separate amp and audio goes to analogue when music is playing (this is changed using the audio profiles addon).
I am trying to get the Squeezebox for Kodi addon setup and everything works but audio always goes to HDMI even when analogue is selected in kodi settings. I understand that squeezelite uses the default ALSA device and would likely go to analogue if no HDMI was connected.
How can I set the the default ALSA device to analogue in Libreelec?
Hi,
I have two Raspberry pi running libreelec that connect to a nas for music play back. When I create a playlist on one device I want it to be saved to a location on the server so that it is available to the other pi.
Currently kodi's default playlist location is local to that device. How can I change the default playlist to a shared location?
Hi, both.
Sorry for ignoring,. I didn’t receive any notification of a reply.
I created the xml and it now works, thank you.
I should also mention that I have a RPi 3 B+ running the same version of Kodi and got the same problem so this looks like Kodi 18 issue rather Pi 4 problem.
Hi,
R Pi 4 running kodi 18.
Can somebody please help me with a problem that is driving me insane.
Whenever I listen to .mp3 files, I get persistent split second sound drop outs every 30 seconds or so. This doesn’t happen when I play .flac only .mp3 and the same mp3 files play fine on my pc and phone.
I read that this may be caused by replay gain being applied. I’ve tried turning this off but it doesn’t make any difference. All of my files do have replay gain tags applied.
Any ideas please?
