It cannot possible be a hardware issue as in "the hardware can't physically handle the stream data size" anymore. Receiver capable of decoding DTS-MA and DD TrueHD LibreELEC 7.95.1 using Kodi 17 RC3 (should have everything needed for DTS-MA and DD TrueHD: no longer a S/W issue) RPi 3 HDMI 1.3 interface (ok for dts-ma passthrough interface wise) Source material MKV with H.264 video/DTS-MA 8 channel audio stream So now we've got the RPi 3 with the Broadcom Videocore IV chip which was not the same as used in the RPi 2, but from what i've read, your still saying that the hardware can't do it. Other people have asked about DTS licensing and mentioned potential issues with the Broadcom firmware and it's ability to do passthrough. Then people started asking about the RPi 2 and you said that that one could decode DTS-MA and convert it to PCM and output those 8 channels to a receiver if you had the Milhouse build. Then later, you amended that to say it was a hardware issue because the (then) RPi 1 was not capable of physically handling 8 channels of 48KHz audio. I've read this thread and the replies are frustratingly vague and disjointed.įirst post you said it's not a hardware issue. If I buy an external USB Blu-ray player (like the Asus SBC-06D2X-U ( link)) can I play copy-protected encrypted Blu-ray's then w/ my beloved Pi? That is, can the BD's be decrypted? But that wouldn't be a problem to me if I can playback high def. I realize that pass through of DTS-MA or TrueHD is technically impossible for the Pi. If I buy a new Recever/Amplifier that accepts HDMI-in, then can I playback DTS-MA and/or DD TrueHD w/ my Pi by letting my beloved Pi "decode" the DTS-MA or TrueHD audio strem to 8 (or less?) PCM channels? Will my amplifier then playback high fidelity audio over 5.1 speakers (I'm not going to buy more than 5.1 speakers!)?Īnd I take it that more than 2 PCM channels over s/pdif is impossible?
I have a Receiver w/ only s/pdif IN ports. I'm from the time that DTS (what you'd call "DTS-core" now-a-days) and Dolby Digital 5.1 through an s/pdif digital output was state of the art. Because I'm updating my knowledge about multi-channel audio. These 8 channel formats can be output as 8 channel PCM, or downmixed.įorgive me the following, stupid, question. TrueHD was already supported, and can produce 8 channel audio.
With the new libdcadec library, we can now decode 8 channel DTS-HD.
#KODI DTS DECODER TV#
If passthrough is not available, then DTS or AC3 can be decoded by the Pi, and either output as 6 channel PCM (through HDMI), or downmixed to stereo (for analogue audio or HDMI if TV doesn't support multichannel PCM). DTS-HD contains a 5.1 channel DTS core which can be passed through by the Pi (through HDMI).Īlternatively if the HD audio is TrueHD, then there must be a 5.1 channel AC3 track with the same content, which the Pi can pass through.
Blu-Ray mandates that non-HD audio is present. The HD audio passthrough issue is only related to HDMI output. What does it do to them ? Convert to PCM or discard anything ? I bet there are more people like me who are a bit confused by this It would be lovely to have a list of formats supported with pass through and a list of unsupported ones and the result of playing the latter Regarding the audio, in the end, what is the expected behavior on movies ? I have a receiver that is capable of decoding all DTS formats, but I understand the PI is not able to passthrough the lossless formats. If the external DAC only requires USB2 drivers, it should be fine on Unix, since those are native Ktf wrote:I am considering getting a Raspberry PI 2 to use it as a media player (both movies, all audio formats) and audio with an external DAC.
