Okay, here’s my problem. Dolby Digital output is turned on. None of my movies in VIDEO_TS folders that are Dolby Digital (AC3) surround, and any movie I have encoded as an AppleTV compatible movie with AC3 passthrough, will pass the surround channels to my Yamaha receiver. My Yamaha recognizes EVERY other source I have correctly (DVD, Blu-ray, HD Satellite), properly playing the surround tracks; but it recognizes AppleTV output as Dolby Digital ONLY when it plays the boot video. Then, everything I play is recognized as Dolby ProLogic. It’s not my Yamaha since I’ve switched inputs and the input works perfectly with any of my other sources.
Let me get this straight: ATVFLash and NitoTV DO NOT support the second most important thing we need for playback of our backed up movies off a hard drive?! What’s the point of my spending $50 on this then? I might as well buy another media server. :x
I just purchased the Western Digital WD TV Live. For 119 bucks I can play my VIDEO_TS folders in glorious Dolby Digital or DTS surround and 1080p resolution. While it is not as elegant a product as AppleTV with ATV Flash, and while I do not have DVD menu functionality as I do on NitoTV, at least my movies sound the way they should.
FireCore, you gotta step up to the plate here. Big failing with this plugin. I’ll be the first to praise you once this is fixed.
All fixed! XBMC is outputting DD and DTS perfectly. Obviously, NitoTV is way behind the curve on this. FireCore shouldn’t offer this without a disclaimer. A big failing if you ask me…
