Re: AW: extended MP 1.1 Disaster Edition includes more features and fixes by me

Hi disaster123. Here is a challange for you. I have my HTPC connected to the LCD tv with a HDMI cable. I have also a Spdif
cable direct from the computer to the receiver. Y coupling of the spdif output. So there is just one audio renderer. The tv get its signal from HDMI and plays it in stereo in all cases,
regardles of if it is a Dolby 5.1 stream, and if i turn on the reciver it is in stereo there to. BUT, in mediaportal, settings,
TV, Client, there is a tickbox "Prefer AC3". If i tick it i will hawe 5.1 audio in my reciever from TV signal, but not any sound from the tv.

Normaly, when watching TV it's quite inuff with the TV:s sound. I wonder if there would be any possibility to add an
option inside mediaportal in settings to make this change, possibly with an option to restart MP if neccesary. In a nutshell: To do it all with the remote, Skipping the walk away to get keyboard part. I don't now if it's possible and if, how much work you have to put in it,
but it would be a greate improval of MP

For all your work.

Christer

christix:

This is not possible inside MP itself.

I have the same setup. HDMI to TV and optical to receiver. TV gives no sound when playing Dolby/DTS or any other digital multichannel. Only way is to change system audio output and restart MP or having a chance to passthrough audio from TV to receiver (mine can't do this for Dolby, only stereo but it's an optical output...)

Easiest way:
Connect HTPC to receiver with HDMI. Connect receiver to TV with HDMI. (Makes it necessary to have a receiver which is capable of HDMI )

Yeea. I can do it that way and I have done, but it's a pain in the wallet. The AVR idles on 350W witch is not needed when watching news etc.

Installation of MediaPortal disaster latest edition fails at registering of cdaxreader.ax.
cannot find the file in the install file? neither in the mp directory?
tv-server install works well.

would be great if anyone could help!

I have a 4 way HDMI splitter/amp with one HDMI to the TV, one to the receiver and one more to a small lcd tv in the kitchen, works really well.

Exactly what I said

Not possible inside MP, just on the way of splitting one cable into many
