Amazon Music work, but....
« on: June 01, 2016, 07:24:10 PM »
Hello,

first: Sorry for my English!
Question 1:
Yesterday came my new H8. Quickly Firmware 1.1.1 installed. Amazon Music-App installed.
This work, but a new song is not starting, i only see a rotating circle. When 2x pressed, song is
starting end ending normally, but the next song in the list is - again - not starting, same
procedure.
 What can i do?

Question 2:
KODI can play all my films, but the Audiostream is ever PCM. I have choose Passthrough, AC3 und DTS.
The internal HIMEDIA-Player can this: DTS-HD, DTS-MA, True-HD...all! My YAMAHA RX-V 675 show me this in his
Display. But over KODI - no chance! 
Who can help me?
Greetings from Germany! Vader

I have the same problem with Amazon Music. The problem is at least since the 1.0.7.
A solution I have not yet found.
For Kodi there was in the meantime a Addonit which you could use Amazon music.

Hello,
as already written it went to Kodi with the addon.
As I read it now goes probably back to the version 0.3.0 go under Kodi 16.
Under Kodi 15.x I test it this afternoon

you need some special codecs from himedia for the rockchip.. this is in every firmware from himedia..
now its firmware 1.1.1 with "old" kodi 15.2...

kodi 16  dont work proper with audio passtrough. maybe with kodi 17 final..

I HAVE the firmware 1.1.1 with old KODI 15.2.... MacMac, do you have no problems with .mkv-Movies? The Movies - almost mkv - are little bit jerking(?) , before the audio gone. Or may this a problem with my AV-Receiver YAMAHA RX-V675? And...in the internal Player of H8 the same Problem, but not so often.

this is from a older post from me... maybe there is a solution for your probs. no wrapper needed...

- mac to
- router to
- h8
- kodi
- hdmi to my samsung tv

- h8 optical to 5.1 teufel device

no stuttering (movies, some series are ripped to bad), all my movies and series are .mkv

himedia
- display - 1080p, 60hz
- playback - 1080p24hz OFF

kodi
- hardware acceleration
libstafright OFF
mediacodec OFF
rockchip ON
23976 rockchip ON

- playback
adjust display refresh OFF (its not a computer display)
sync playback display OFF (its not a computer display)

that works fine for me... ;-)

At first: AMAZON MUSIC works good, song-after-song perfectly playing. Thanks....
 I have:

- HIMEDIA H8 on LAN
- Philipps LED-Tv and Beamer Epson
- YAMAHA Audio Receiver RX-V675

all HDMI

- display - 1080p, 60hz
- playback - 1080p24hz OFF

kodi
- hardware acceleration
libstafright OFF
mediacodec OFF
rockchip ON
23976 rockchip ON

- playback
adjust display refresh OFF (its not a computer display)
sync playback display OFF (its not a computer display)

TESTING... no effect, movies loose her audiosignal, KODI and internal Player the same problem.
My old good EGREAT R6s works better.
Should i give back my Himedia H8??
