  • Nothing new re HDMI-CEC. I tried to adapt what has been done for the odroid, basically considering /dev/tegra_cec as a serial line, but I get nothing from the driver.
  • An update on passthrough: http://ouyaforum.com/showthread.php?5966...#post76649 @tb-killa Yeah, the minix post gives me some hope... Re the cyanogenmod post, it dates October 2012. Not sure it is relevant anymore ;)
  • Alchete said: I assume you're talking about Ouya's implementation, which may also be published somewhere.  Isn't that a requirement?  (Here perhaps?  https://github.com/ouya) Android is licensed under Apache 2.0, so OUYA has no obligat…
  • Hehe.. Yes, got the device and working on passthrough. I'm a bit blindfolded without the Android sources, though...
  • Yep, really nice of her. Ordering asap.
  • BTW, as was mentioned already, putting the Ouya on his side helps quite a bit regarding overheating. At least on dev kits, the air vents are on the bottom...
  • :) Thanks
  • Hi Guys, I've set up a donation page for those willing to sponsor me for a cheapo all-in-one receiver: http://www.gofundme.com/4f1e6w No guarantee it will bring you proper multi-channel, but it will at least allow me to try.
  • Interlaced bug confirmed solved in latest firmware :) We'll see at usage if the Ethernet one is, too...
  • What is happening if you set the speaker configuration to 2.0? Is the sound downmixed to stereo?
  • And this with the Gotham alphas, too? That'd be quite unexpected... I assumed you couldn't get more than stereo in all cases... If you play a stereo file, do you have to do the trick, too? Does changing the speaker configuration in xbmc make any…
  • When you do "the trick", are you actually getting multi-channel passthrough or just plain stereo?
  • No. As I said, it will be impossible to do any progress until I have a receiver.
  • Could someone with access to a multichannel receiver try this version with multichannel files and report, please: https://app.box.com/s/mul45ditnur1vks88145 I get static on my TV, which is a good sign, actually ;) This will replace the "standard" X…
  • Yep. /system/etc/audio_policy.conf has a multichannel section, so there is hope
  • Alchete said: Or are you saying that there is native support in the Android framework such that custom solutions would not be necessary? Yep, my point exactly. At least if it's implemented in the Android build, which seems, at first sigh…
  • chrissfoot said: I'd lend you mine but I think the wife would actually murder me! Is there anything I can look at to help? I'm happy to test things and I have some code experience as I work as a c# web developer. Thanks, but blind develo…
  • Mmm... Digging a bit, it *MIGHT* be that everything is there for multi-channel/passthrough support, just that XBMC does not support it on Android. Unfortunately, I don't have an HDMI multi-channel receiver to develop with (hint, hint ;) )
  • Firenor said: If I do the trick with the CEC digital output also works perfectly. So it is definatly a related bug! What are you calling CEC? We speak about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI-CEC#CEC
  • chrissfoot said: koying said: BTW, note that HDMI-CEC (the subject of this thread) has nothing to do with sound-related issues ;) That is also true though I suspect again, that the issues are linked in that if they get proper hdm…
  • BTW, note that HDMI-CEC (the subject of this thread) has nothing to do with sound-related issues ;)
  • One should not mix 2 different issues regarding audio. There is one OUYA firmware bug regarding HDMI audio handshake, apparently, which produces static/hissing sound on audio receivers unless some tricks are used. OTOH, multi-channel is an hardwar…
  • Over-cool ;)
  • Yeah, cool :)
  • Hi Buddy, Totally unrelated, but as we have your ear ;) There is also a problem in the firmware related to playing interlaced video. Vertical "bands" appear when playing them. This is only relevant to XBMC on OUYA users, obviously. The funny fact …
  • If I can read between the lines, they use contractors for firmware development. That probably explains the slow progress on everything firmware related...
  • Well, seems it is already on its way...
  • Faxanidu said: koying said: AFAIK, Android does not support ad-hoc wifi networks without some "hacks". Incorrect i have never had a problem connecting ANY stock android devices. netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MYWIFI…
  • I agree with Ned. Forking v13 without even including the already existing ouya friendly PR seems a bit pointless... There are already PR for h/w acceleration, ouya manifest and joystick support. If Ouya wants XBMC ASAP, a v12.2 fork with backport…
  • Cool! Do you have details on what, exactly, will be integrated?
