For BDMV/Bluray iso file, you can check it out here
Skip to 7:00 for the video playback



rPi2 can still decode Dolby TruHD to 7.1 pcm
You can check this post for more explanation

1) It could be subtitles that's only displayed when there's foreign language in the movie

2) You can enable subs in the audio option (Menu-> Audio during playback). Better yet you can assign keys to toggle/enable subs on your keyboard/remote instead of going thru the menus.

You'll need to edit your keymap file (keyboard.xml)

You can check out the default command control for your keyboard here

And you can modify them based on the functions (action id) that you want from here

Yes, it works out of the box without having to configure anything
I don't use the remote control that comes with it since only the GPIO IR module that matters
So I just use my HP MCE remote since it has additional buttons and added it to my harmony settings



You can try setting CEC to "Ignore" when the TV is switched off, that way it doesn't power off the rpi.
Plus, rpi doesn't really use much power when turned on 24/7

The bundled remote works just fine, any other remote can be configured to work with openelec rpi.
Seems like RC6 remote like my hp mce remote works without having to setup anything.
Btw, you do need to place the gpio ir module like this to get it to receive ir signals properly

I'll give it a test if goes beyond 10 ft, my tv distance is just around 7 ft from the couch.

Just tested at around 10ft I'd say and it works well, rpi still receiving ir signal, more than that I don't have enough space to walk further away lol

Just enable cec on your rpi2 and you should be able to control kodi with your tv remote. I'd recommend that you connect the hdmi out from your DEVON to the ARC hdmi port on your tv so you can control the receiver volume directly.

If you wanna customize the function for your remote buttons, you can edit the remote.conf in the kodi userdata folder.

RPI doesn't really have standby mode, which is why that option is not available on the menu.
Even if you manage to send a command to shut it down, you'd still have to manually turn in on since it doesn't really have power switch.
Since it doesn't really consume much power (<50 cent per month based on tnb tarif? any electrician can clarify this) I just leave it on 24/7

Since it's pretty close to the pause button, you could just change the function for the power key
Try adding this in the remote.xml file in your keymap userdata folder.

Probably openelec not compatible with your ht system?
Have you tried booting other os like raspbian/osmc and test the display output on your Devon amp?

Seems like if I'm not on msia ip address,I can only view astro awani.
Anyway I can view the rest of the local channels (tv1/tv2/tv3)?
Do I need to use vpn software like softether?

It works out of the box with openelec, not sure with OSMC.
Any RC6 remote wil work with ir module without having to configure anything. For keypad numbers, you'll need to edit the remote.xml file to include the numbers since the default remote doesn't have number buttons.

Also, if you want to use a different remote ( not the default one), you'll have to configure it with lirc to add the remote.

Which timeserver? Is it the first one, I added pool.ntp.org to that one and that fixed the clock for me.

How exactly does TV licensing work in UK now? Do you get charged based on your income or something?
You might wanna place your router as close as possible to the stick since there's no LAN port especially when you're streaming huge mkv files.

Oh wow, it was still lot cheaper in Malaysia when it was still implemented back then
Well, since you're in UK, I bet the broadband service there is a lot better than screamyx here assuming you're subscribing to gigabit speeds
So you should have no problem streaming on that stick.

You can access the thumbnail option by navigating to the thumbnail section in menu (press C).

They've got Kopitiam complete season on their archives, so they automatically got my support. I can't even find this anywhere now.
RM8/monthly is quite cheap also.

Check out the wiki, there's a complete list for the tuners

http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Supported_TV_Tuners

I'm actually quite interested in this, has anyone successfully tried using TV tuner with Astro Beyond and manage to display the channels on Kodi?

Just saw the video demo, pretty cool
Btw, have you ever tried OSMC?
