Er komen wel meer TV's uit die je met display port gaat kunnen aansluiten. Ik dacht dat dit vooral handig is bij UHD content. Maar hdmi2.0 is daar ook geschikt voor. Ook projectoren met display port komen er aan. Maar als ik dan wikipedia bekijk zijn er dat voorlopig maar bitter weinig. Dus dat is dan ook weer een non-issue. Vergeet die opmerking dus maar.

Met een DB50 film. Dan gaat hij beginnen stotteren (gebeurt 1 of 2 keer tijdens een film). Maar als ik dan 20 seconden terugspoel is het weg. Maar het is niet zo dat het bij elke film is. Ik heb het nu nog maar 3 keer meegemaakt in een jaar tijd.Stiibun zei:

Met wat bedien ik XBMC best vanuit mijn zetel?

Nice, zal het dit weekend eens uitproberen op de PC.
Het begint al te kriebelen.

Even ter inlichting ivm kodi en dolby atmos. Gotham ondersteund geen atmos tracks.. Zelfs de extracted dolby true hd niet. Ffmpeg en xbmc hebben beiden een patch hiervoor. Deze zijn in openelec 4.2 al geactiveerd. Let op! Enkel de dolby true hd bitsream! Geen atmos zelf! Voor de rest is het wachten op helix voor windows waarin beide patches gaan zitten!
De ffmpeg patch zorgt voor decoded versie van de dolby true hd, xbmc patch voor de bitstream dolby true hd.
Maar. Dus voorlopig nog geen echte atmos. Wil je dergelijke track nu afspelen in gotham krijg je 0,0 geluid!

Even when XBMC/Kodi does not decode it still must be able to identify the type of audio in the stream via a parser in order to know what to do with it, even if that's just passing it untouched to the HDMI out.
From my limited understanding when the Dolby HD audio methods were defined it consisted of:
Main payload + Extension payload
Until now the extension part of Dolby HD streams hasn't been used, so TrueHD only ever used the main payload thus any reversed engineered solutions only took account of this, however Dolby have now started using the extension payload to provide the additional data for ATMOS.
What the fixes does I believe is identify the TrueHD contained in the main payload and discard the extension payload. The extension payload containing the ATMOS data must be discarded as there is no parser available yet to identify the contents.

Beta helix komt binnenkort ! Bron: xbmc zelf
As we already mention in last alpha4 release post, the first beta release is nearing pretty fast. At this moment we are only waiting for one more final change to happen and then we are good to go. We are only talking a week or two at most. About three weeks have past since but, yet we haven’t sat still. The list of changes and improvements continues to grow. Although we also said feature freeze was in affect, we still found some things that were worth including in the upcoming release. These changes had little impact on stability or have been tested quite thoroughly
Localised keyboard support Although the changes are small the effects for user can be quite big as they can now use a localized keyboard. Thanks to several non team members the list of available keyboard keeps growing. Due to the growing list we now also list them alphabetical using the English language names.
DXVA-HQ scaling for videos (Windows) Since this feature might cause some issues for certain video cards, it was decided that users who actually want to use this feature, you will have to enable this through the advancedsettings.xml file. Of course this is for the more advanced users to worry about. Though it’s worth mentioning this changes as it could affect some of you.
Faster channel switching for PVR For those that use the PVR capabilities have experienced that channel switching not always is as fast as you want it to be. This should now be some what improved and will switch channels a bit faster. Although there is likely still some gain to be made for the future.
Raspberry Pi audio resampling The Pi’s GPU supports high quality re-sampling, format conversion and up/down mixing. This PR creates a factory for different re-sample implementations, moves the current one into ResampleFFMPEG, and adds a ResamplePi GPU accelerated implementation.
Add MMAL decoder and MMAL renderer for Raspberry Pi DVDs with menus do not work well with omxplayer (the main R-Pi internal player). For this the R-Pi uses the normal internal player from Kodi which offers better support for software decode for SD codecs like divx3, msmpeg, sorenson spark etc. Also omxplayer doesn’t support alsa, so can’t be used with USB and I2S sound cards. Internal dvdplayer may behave better with dodgy timestamps and packet loss, e.g. with live TV. So for this support was added to dvdplayer using the MMAL api. This offers hardware acceleration, saves the processing cost of YUV->RGB conversion, saves the memory cost of the RGB textures for video frames and allows high quality (cubic) scaling.
iOS 8 runtime fixes
Due to the release of iOS 8 some new problems showed up up the new Apple OS. Some of these issue are listed below and have been fixed
Orientation of our layer is borked when compiled against ios8 sdk and running on ios8 runtime (apple finally fixed the 90° based coordinates) Because of 1 orientation on external screen is messed up too when compiling against ios8 sdk and running on ios8 runtime On ios 8 runtime (independent of used SDK) the textfield above the native keyboard is hidden On ios 8 runtime (independent of used SDK) VTB HW decoder crashes on seek Several fixes concerning Airplay. It might still be possible that not all function like you want it to. Please know that our main developer for this part tries his best. Hopefully you understand that we are limited in both manpower and capabilities due to Apple constraints. Update Windows power management functions Our code still contained some functions that dated back to the Windows XP release. Now that we have dropped support for that OS a while ago it was also time to update the function. It is most likely most of you won’t notice it on normal usage. Due to these changes the support for the newer Windows version has improved a bit. One extra function has been added. When you have pending Windows updates that requires a reboot, it now gives you the possibility to install them if you reboot from within Kodi. Do note it will not force install any updates that you haven’t enabled.
Improvement in file handling system This is really under the hood code changes that has greatly improved the code handling for several of the file systems we handle. Mainly stability and possible error handling.
Dolby Atmos surround sound For the users who own the Transformers – Age of Extension Bluray (to name one), would have noticed that TrueHD playback didn’t work. This is caused because the Bluray includes the new Dolby Atmossound for the TrueHD track. Our devs backported a fix from FFMPEG to at least retrieve the normal audio channels for playback. The actual Dolby Atmos functionality is of yet not supported.
Extending JSON-RPC even more JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. It allows any program to communicate to Kodi by sending certain commands and possibly retrieve data back. This is the main method that remotes like our official iOS remote uses to connect to Kodi. With these additions, these remotes become even more capable of controlling your favourite in house media center.
Several other fixes done:
* Fixed T9/SMS text input * Updated several PVR add-ons to include fixes done * SSA Subtitle fixes * Added settings for preferred Bluray playback method. “play main movie”, “show disc menu” or “show simplified menu” * Fix non loading of external subtitles for ISO files and Bluray directories * Fix for importing some add-on modules that depended on other modules * A lot more small fixes and tweaks.
