Kodi 14.1 video and audio output issues
I've upgraded from the xbmc 13.2 alsa package to kodi 14.1 and one really cool feature has disappeared.
In 13.2 I selected alsa as my audio device (hifiberry dac) and music files played through the dac, while video files played through hdmi. I assumed that this was possible due to different players being used for music and video (dvdplayer and omxplayer). In kodi 14.1 this no longer works and all audio plays through the selected device, whether it's from mkv, flac, whatever. Is there a way to get this functionality back? Edit: solved with workaround via add-on http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=201896 |

RE: Kodi 14.1 video and audio output issues
if the case is due to using separate players than probably not that simple as there was significant change where only one player is used now

RE: Kodi 14.1 video and audio output issues
I can think of two possibilities: I could reinstall omx and set it as an external player for video files, or maybe use an alsa setup for routing to both hdmi and dac..I'm not yet sure if either is possible! :-)
There is an add-on that switches devices on the start of playback, there are a lot of requests in the xbmc forums for this sort of feature so I felt pretty lucky when I had it with xbian. |

Just installed the add-on I mentioned, works brilliantly so far!
