So Kodi is playing...say 5.1...assuming you set it to pass through...what is AVR detecting?

AVR shows the same 2.0 LPCM

...just read your old posts...sorry asking back same questions...

Like this need to check PC HW/SW manager, bios settings...ask Asus tech support...try optical if you have one...

They advertise this..."VivoPC VM42 has an optical SPDIF output port for multi-channel audio support."...maybe this is the only way...

Presume default device audio set to HDMI? Then speaker setting output 5.1....

PS... You may have better luck asking in the hardware threads...

Gotta be careful with all these tech details...

I mean some boxes have hardware that only output 720 with kodi.

Can play, process 1080 but output is down graded to 720.
Yr hyppbox kodi showing 1080 output under system info?

Narrr...box will ouput FHD just fine...can't remember if I tried kodi on it though...

Anyway mine is one or two versions old...its a cheap n slow box alright...i used it for testing twice only... laugh.gif

i don't know about usb playback or other apps with hyppbox.

i was responding to below, about KODI.

i had a box like that too, kodi limit 1280x720, something to do with older linux kernel.

current better boxes will show 1920x1080@60hz in system info.

I know you did...no worries lah...

my memory coming back bits by bits...yes I think I did install kodi for FHD out...biggest problem was the box got miniscule memory...

Relax fellas.. lighten up a little.. It's just 24 hours.. Not going to spontaneously combust or anything like that.. It's open source and there are always other safe means of getting it... These folks work hard, probably all year round to make Kodi what it is.. You know the saying, "all fun and no play"..Ā  smile.gif

I'm cool...

Been using Kodi on & off since 2008... haven't used for past 2 years now... it's gotten too bloated IMHO... haven't tried 17 yet...

I think they are taking this April 1st opportunity to make a strong statement...hence complete lock down... not even the forum is online... only wiki is live...

Anyway just helping out...can be frustrating when you plan something and find out someone pull the plug...

I understand.. Just teasing around.. It's all good..  notworthy.gif

I'm running Krypton 17.1 now and so far it's performing much smoother than the initial 17.0 release and Jarvis... Only rival would be the latest SPMC. I'm getting DD passthrough via HDMI, so good enough for now. No DTS++ yet. You should try it..
It’s still very much a joke... A very elaborate one and as dwRK commented, well timed. The reason all of the Kodi websites are down is because the kodi.tv domain is now pointing to this fake page, rendering all of the subdomains (forums, download page, etc) useless at the moment. Also, the page still contains Google Analytics tracking code & handled by Cloudflare, which the government does not use on their take-down notices. Checking the WHOIS records also suggests it being a joke, as the records was last updated today and not pointing to government servers (example: NS2.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM).  biggrin.gif

Exhibit A.. Visit https://kodi.tv/logos.jpg and compare with the confirmed seized Kickass' website.

Let's think about it for a moment.. If Kodi (great as it is) was seized, it would be all over the news.. It'd be a huge deal that the authorities will definitely publicize.. It'll be back when they are done with this prank..  biggrin.gif

Yup...kodi is still active at its github...

Yup...its usually free to air in HD...unlike EPL and others need big bidding war hence zealously guarded...

Yup, that's the idea...Frankly, most private trackers will require you maintain a significantly higher seed ratio to remain in the service, else risk an account suspension. So Quasar's hit and run method is not ideal, unless you already have & maintain a high seed ratio... Keep trying different public providers, you may stumble on one. That's provided there's actually a 4K version of the content available to the addon... It just scrapes info.

That's where seedbox comes in... fyi for others...

Actually why people don't go to icdrama.se and play directly?

Why go through a 3rd party addon or rss feed? I know it's convenient but when broken come here complain share info 3 days not able to see any show... laugh.gif

The feed from shaolinseo links to hd something .se and not icdrama.se...Don't know where the addon links to...not curious enough to check...
