  • 4K DTS-MA supported GPU

    I understand I'm out of luck, but I'm just searching the cheapest way to get it DTS-MA passthrough working. And I would rather keep my Streacom case, I'm kinda in love with the case. I think you only have Intel, AMD or Nvidia. And Intel doesn't have many mainstream external GPU's?

    The Nvidia GT520 seems not to support 4K. Nvidia 6xx/7xx are not existing in one slot high + with HDMI 2.0 (lowest HDMI version supporting 4K@60Hz). So then the Nvidia GT 1030 seems a really good option. It costs about 76 euros (a lot cheaper then an new Intel NUC), gives HDMI2.0b and 4K at a good resolution and it exitst in one row high (even passive)! So the only problem is the driver at the moment. From what I understand there are Linux drivers for it, but not Open Source Linux drivers and it's not sure if those will ever come. So I guess LibreELEC doesn't work with closed Nvidia drivers? So there is a change that card will never be supported by LibreELEC?

    So then I better choose for AMD? Like a xfx RX 460 which is a single slot to fit in my Streacom? That's around 136 euro. I couldn't find on the XFX page, but other vendors selling the same card do mention DTS-MA support.

    Changing the CPU is a bit drastic as I now have:

    - Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3

    - Intel Intel Core i5 4430

    - KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G Kingston HyperX blu

    And then I would need the change all 3 components, which would cost me more and they aren't "slow" yet for libreELEC.

    But you say it works on your Haswell, but I have a Haswell as well. I have this CPU.

    What's the best way to debug this?

    LibreELEC shows me 4K resolutions to 30Hz. My Denon should support 60Hz. But I guess you won't see that difference.

  • 4K DTS-MA supported GPU

    Hi


    I have LibreELEC running on this Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 motherboard (internal Intel GPU).

    It goes by a HDMI-cable to a Denon Denon AVR-X4200W and from that to a LG OLED55C7V.

    Passthrough works for Dolby etc.. but not for DTS-MA. There is just no sound. I have read this can be caused by GPU support or the driver combination.

    As my motherboard isn't recent I guess that's the reason. Which cheap (no gaming) external GPU supports LibeELEC 100% for DTS-MA passtrough so I can add that one to the motherboard?

    If I disable passthrough I have sound. My mediacenter sits in a Streacom EVO so I can't use a double row GPU.

    Oh: and if the GPU supports CEC so I won't need to buy an external CEC adapter that would be great! But I guess that will be a hard "requirement"..

  • Other aspect ratio

    It does provide me 1920x1200 if I leave out the Denon tranceiver (and use a HDMI to HMDI to the screen - because I get a lower resolution when using a HDMI to DVI). It's not that bad Nickr, we can leave with it like this untill we buy a new TV in a year or something. Now and then a subtitle fall's off, but that doesn't happen much.

  • Other aspect ratio

    This is directly:

    Kodi:~ # xrandr | pastebinitPVHPKodi:~ # cat ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | pastebinitHbOj

    So then I do have "1920x1200".
    But then I have no HMDI sound passthrough. Or is the spdif passthrough exactly the same as the HDMI one?
    My Denon AVR-X4200W has no option to change aspect ratio. So this leaves me to a missing part on the screen untill I buy a new TV? Unless pdif passthrough passes the same protocols as HDMI?

  • DVBLink brings Kodi in an endless loop

    Hi

    Enabling the DVBLogic plugin in Kodi brings Kodi in an endless reboot loop.

    It used to work fine a couple of weeks ago, but it's doing this now for about 2 weeks. It did this in OpenELEC 7.0 Beta 3 and I just did a full clean reinstall with v7.90.005 Alpha where it does just the same.

    Attached some debug logs. For example I do see messages like this:

    Sep 03 16:54:29 Kodi kernel: PVRManager[881]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f2ea808cfca sp 00007f2e5efaf920 error 4 in pvr.dvblink.so.3.3.4[7f2ea804c000+68000]
