BlackHole Vu+ Duo 1.6.3 Beta DTS

[Dzoni]

@angelofsky1980

All my mkv movies are located on internal 500GB HDD... Problem with DTS exist on 2 amplifiers (Harman Kardon AVR 260 via HDMI and older Philips FR996 via spdif optical cable)

I think problem is in that .mkv files,because I can play all my .mkv movies (12) from hdd,all have dts audio.

On my home I use only WPA encryption and my DWA-140 works correctly.... I have abandoned it in place of a SiteCom N-300 Mini-Wifi Adapter (Realtek based wifi device)

Got it working with wpa2 with clean install, and afterwards restoring backup, with dwa-140 to start with and then i change to xtreamer wifi and then it works to, but not if i start to plug in the xtreamer wifi first on a clean install. so some backup issues wont make it work if you starts to restore personal backup first and them installe the wifi unit

Cool Image as ever...

Very nice image, good work. But I have some bugs for you:


2. DTS downmix is working (when i choose DD downmix) but sound (Amplifier shows PCM Sound) is terrible something like wheeze
3. DTS pass through is still terrible - interruption of sound every couple seconds on most of movies - especialy 1080p (ie. Transformers 2, Avartar)
..

Finally someone have pointed to those issues ...... DTS downmix & pass through are not working great .... Sound is not clear , interruptions are there ..... People who can't hear it must be half deaf or something. I've got PS3 , samsung blu ray player aswell , they are playing very same dts audio tracks with no issues at all .
And another thing....Could we ever get generic xvid/divx media files playing smoothly, along with the decent FPS rate ?
I know , it is nothing to do with the Black Hole team...... That's the original drivers issue .....Those Korean lads just seems to be don't give a two flying f***s about it ....

Doah - i have noticed that the playing of divx's seems a bit hit n miss.
I have seen lots of loss of sync with various divx and frequent hanging.
The same files play fine on PC
Maybe these problems are just "gremlins"

Hi,

I have installed the new image BH 1.6.4 with hope that finally the DTS problem is solved. Unfortunately it is not.

I have played f.e. Transformers 2 movie from internal HDD and the sound was breaking in the same way as before.
My home cinema system looks like:
TV PHILIPS 46" connected via HDMI cabel to Amplifier DENON AVR-1611
VU DUO connected via HDMI cabel to Amplifier DENON AVR-1611
Speakers system Wharfedale Home Cinema connected to DENON AVR-1611
