EricJan 7 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hi, I might have missed something again; current hardware/software is a Pi2, running Kodi Beta, Emby plugin and the Helix skin. Lately, I am experiencing problems with the sound playback when playing DVD5 TS files utilizing AC3 sound encoding. It is only on the Pi that this occurs. When playing, the sounds starts lagging increasingly, only to freeze the image (or complete playback) every 5 to 10 minutes. Then it starts fresh. Is this a known problem that I can correct with a simple setting? The obvious parameters available on sound during playback I tried to no avail. TIA!

Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 How are your settings in kodi settings > system > audio output? To see maximum settings, change your setting level to expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Have you tried disabling the pass-through to see if this fixes your issue? To be honest, you may have to check the kodi forums for a solution... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJan 7 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yeah, I did. Doesn't help. I wasn't sure where to post it, I'll move on to the kodi one. ta! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJan 7 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 OK, found it. Posting here, just in case someone runs into the same problem. I got it backwards, it is a video issue, not sound. The solution is to disable the OMX player on the system>settings>video playback>acceleration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJan 7 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Yeah, I did. It has worked in the past, this is something that occurred only recently. Possibly on account of all the updates I receive (running betas). Time for a new and clean install and assess if it still works out of the box.
