same here passthrough still not working

Will update the beta in 1 hour or so...

EDIT: Uploaded...

Startup issue seems to be resolved. I was unable to recreate it.

Passthrough issue is still persistent as already reported.

More on my mpeg2 AMC problem.

1) the DVD rips mentioned previously will play with AMC non-surface, just FYI. Why not surface?

2) Even with "allow interlaced content" switched off for AMC surface it still tries to playback 1080i mpeg2 material. So, either the settings switches aren't working (remember, I tried to force SD content to AMC surface and *that* didn't work either) or something is wrong with video type detection.

https://paste2.org/1GxPzO78 There is log of AMC surface trying to play back mpeg2 1080i when I have the interlaced content for surface supposedly switched off.

Could I get a new debuglog for the passthrough issue, please

my most recent log should have relevant info on this too as it should be passing through DD 5.1 but it's decoding to PCM. And the settings menu still doesn't have any HD audio codec options.

Please provide a sample. It would be surprising to be an actual MrMC issue if it works in som cases

Which kind of rip? We always use s/w for DVD's due to finickiness of h/w decoders with those (see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/15405 )

PS: Now, indeed, I could force h/w decoding of DVD via the settings, as it appear to work on Shield...

More on this. I decided to install the SPMC that's still in the play store and both the DVD rips and my broadcast 1080i recordings play well with AMC surface. So, it's definitely an MrMC problem, not Shield in general.

Hello Koying and amazing coding masters!! Just updated to 3.8-0 on the nvidia shield. Atmos, DTS X, DTS-HD or Dolby True HD dont work. They just play in stereo. Before Atmos wasn’t really working. It would go back and forth from stereo to Atmos on our Pioneer Elite receiver. Every one of these Atmos files works perfectly with SPMC using the raw pass through option. In MRMC I’ve tired with IEC and without. With 3.8-0 all Atmos DTS-HD etc files do not work. They all just play in stereo. I’m glad I have SPMC to use for my files for now but I would really love to help solve this in MRMC. Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Update. I disabled pass through, restarted and enabled pass through and now audio is coming in as PCM, but I don’t think it’s True-HD Atmos. I have IEC and Passthrough ticked. On SPMC the receiver would display Dolby Atmos. Now on MRMC I see PCM. I don’t think it’s truly Atmos because on Nature’s fury and the three Atmos demos, the height speakers sound blurred with the surrounds. It’s distinctly different from Atmos in SPMC. I directly compared with SPMC where the objects are much much more prominent through the height speakers. Can’t wait to get this working properly so I can finally fully migrate from SPMC to MrMc. Truly appreciate all your hard work!

Using Ariana skin, don't know if it's skin related or not.

I still have this problem. Another worse problem I got in the latest version is that live TV stutter. I've tried two 1080i channels with deinterlace on auto and it stutter. I didn't had this problem before and don't on Apple TV 4k

I still have this problem but on 720p channels also. What can I do?
Am I the only one with this problem.
