I was hoping OSMC might fast track DTS-HD support instead of waiting for Kodi to officially support it in a later version. This feature would be amazing to a lot of OSMC users considering we can’t even bitstream it.
Even a custom version like miappa made made previously for Raspbmc would be great.
I know it works because I found a precompiled ffmpeg binary and tested it be transcoding 7.1ch DTS-HD audio to a 7.1ch flac
That sounds fine for limits by me even if it can’t play the high end limits. Out of over 100 I own I have never played a retail Bluray movie that had more then 48khz with either 6 or 8 channels reported by my receiver.
Even that is within the limits so this feature i would still cover the majority if uses. Will Googling more I actually found a OE testbuild that already added this feature and other then only enabling by default on a Pi2 it seems to work.
Not to mention unrelated to this request from the same post I just learned the Pi can also send out MVC frame packed 3D in mkv which is another feature that will make the Pi do everything I would want it to and not even my full computer could do.
This is the day I nearly lost all downsides to my media center
Thank you for that info. I will be a happy tester of both those features on my Pi2. Hopefully soon is very soon you have no idead how much these features mean to me.
