[QUOTE="gibman, post: 987743, member: 25430"] The build you are referring to will definitely help a lot. But I am convinced that there are still a few issues that will annoy. They will probably be hard to fix if even possible. consider this. gfx/hdmi => AVR => TV. user is watching TV using mp1 with hdmi sound over AVR. user changes the input selector on his AVR to DAB/FM or whatever. it causes a HDMI handshake / re-negotiation. User now changes back to HTPC selector on his AVR.How will MP handle this ? The HDMI audio device in use just disappeared from under it ..while MP-TV was on. Channel will most likely just stop tuning. User is presented with idle tvhome. maybe MP will even crash. Those EDID emulation devices will keep the hdmi connection alive regardless. So when the user changes his AVR input selector back to HTPC then mp TV is still running and sound is output seamlessly. Problem is this HDMI handshake event has a long list of issues associated with it. Not just one. /gibman [/QUOTE]
