answer : no dolby digital or DTS passthrought is possible. I tried to force the HDMI EDID but TV only forwards PCM 2 channel to spdif. I suppose this could be fixed in the firmware. update : I check with another hdmi cable and an xbox and had the same result Do you think it is an hardware restrictio...

Too bad. I don't have any receiver to test on my side. So I will choose to buy an hdmi one, don't want to play with that except if anyone wants to implement ac3 and dts passthrough on A-Series. :lol: I did a funny test : 6 channels PCM set in XBMC (AC3 and DTS both disabled) . Guess what : surprise ...

vprasinos, I'm trying to do the same as you with an A-Series TV (40A856). I don't have any amplifier for now for testing but I'm interested with the yamaha ysp 1400 that does not support hdmi. I think you can try this : -enable external audio output in TV menu -In XBMC system audio settings : check ...

Hi,

happy new year all.

I wonder if it's possible to pass ac3 and/or dts from hdmi device to the optical ouput ?
I know that some TV models allows that, other don't...

I looked in service menu and didn' find anything related to optical ouput.

What is your feedback about A-series please ?

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for.

Yes but you see it can be unplugged at any time as I'm not alone in the house
I just guess that it could be possible to add a sleep() in the TV shutdown script ?

Hi all, I just installed XBMC on a raspberry PI and hooked it on my A856. I have to say that this tiny thing just do what a smart TV customer would expect OOTB... So goobye Wiselink. Almost video codecs arevery well supported, it's smooth. Moreover A856 support HDMI CEC so I can control the XBMC UI ...

Hi, this is really promising. I was able to play mkv movie throught DLNA in showtime. showtime looks very good and only needs few enhancements. 8-) Maybe it could be possible to use both showtime and neutrino-hd (for DVB-T support only). We could use a daemon that could switch applications when push...

I'm worried about the footprint as well.

I don't see how to redirect the hdmi inputs to showtime ?

Hi Tom,
