Title: Kodi 17.3 with Android 5 on Q10 Pro
Post by: rami on August 12, 2017, 07:27:04 AM

HI,
I updated Kodi from 16.1 to 17.3 and I lost the passthrough, if it is on all files I play with all kind of DTS, Dolby or AC3 with 5.1 sound don't play till I disable the passthrough option.
I updated my firmware to the custom 1.1.0 and the problem still the same.
I read about 2.0.4 but it looks it still have issues even with passthrough.
Any one had the same problem?

You must install the Kodi 17 shitty version to get HD audio passthrough, it work on firmware 2.0.4

First uninstall the Kodi that is on your box then install this one and enable passthrough;

or just use the wrapper so Kodi passes to the MediaCenter player (which has passed through HD 7.1 audio for over 12 months now).
Shitty build is needed if you stream and want 5.1.  For attached HDD and/or NAS, the wrapper works just great   :)

Thanks for the advise.

I updated the firmware to 2.0.4 and installed the Kodi shitty, the 5.1 worked but the firmware is not stable I got a lot of crashes in different applications.
So since I didn't find that much difference in the new firmware and KODI 17 so I returned to firmware 1.1.0 with Kodi Jarvis.

Strange, here 2.0.4 is working perfect!
