and we are speaking about playing them without passthrough, right ?
(just asking what setup to test)

So I'm happy to post, I'm not sure about legalities though. All I have is my own BD rips. I've tried on a bunch and its the same, mainly I've been testing with Lord of the Rings with DTS-HD. Honestly I'm not great with video so I'd have to figure out how to even cut it down to a minute or two to even share.

and I just wanted to get info about the actual connection / source you are using but it seems this info has not been discussed.

so in general protocol and whether it is mounted on system level and XBMC is using "local access" through the mount, or XBMC using own libs to access smb/nfs… via own defined source.

---

I'm on a router with gigabit speed (wndr 4500). All my cabling is cat5e or cat6. I currently have things mounted system level and xbmc is access my videos through a "local" drive (that is mounted at boot using fstab).

In regards to this, I just found this out. I thought I should maybe try with the xbmc nfs settings. But I actually can't. So maybe that plays into this. But I can find my nfs share with xbmc. I can see the shared drives. But xbmc won't let me actually open those shared drives.

Quote:I have just some DTS-ES, will test in hour or two but the bitrate would be max of 1580kbps for the sound so maybe make no sense.

---

I found in the log you sent earlier, it is USB hdd auto mounted under media, right ?

---

if you cant do sample, can you sent torrent file or magnet link ?

I was thinking maybe save the title sequence of a movie that stutters. Probably wouldn't have copyright issues that way. I just need to figure out how to save just the first minute or two and I'll try to post something.

and please send

mount | grep /media/Aspartic_Acid
when disk is mounted

That returns nothing.

Code:

sudo -i
cd /tmp
wget http://ivka57.dyndns-ip.com/rollback/xbian-package-xbmc_2.9-10.10_armhf.deb
dpkg -i xbian-package-xbmc_2.9-10.10_armhf.deb

maybe the distorted sound is because yesterdays new nightly with some Semptembers back ports.

the 2.9-10.10 is maybe 2 weeks older, with some bugs, but none about audio problem / sound.

Done. Tried it. No go. Doesn't play the file at all.

Here is the log with it failing

one idea more from me, the 10.10 back ports were fit to Sep10 firmware, just remember popcorn was requesting firmware upgrade again for latest patches, but there was no guarranty for 100% correct fw. so I let be at Sep10. merging latest now, will post link in few minutes for you to try.

---

and I asked you which raspbmc release it was - august? older? septembers? and was it stable or with special branch xbmc ?
this you didn't answer. then I would be able to take closer look into differences.

Here is from the raspbmc log. It was the stable download.

I still have it on another SD and it is working just fine.
