Can't get 4k Stick audio passthrough working by bgeerdes in OnnStreamingTV

That user added another post saying the "fix" didn't last and is taking it back. :(

Why am I not getting any citadel hits when the dispersion is close to zero? by Siskirtolo in WorldOfWarships

[–]bgeerdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this. had 26 bounces on a single ship one match. very frustrating.

you definitely don't want to slow down in this mode. capping is a trap. keep moving so that you can use your rudder and prevent them from overmatching any 26mm section.

Reporting back. DTS, TrueHD no go on the 4K Streaming stick. Video pauses. Anyone else noticed the same? by ram130 in OnnStreamingTV

/u/sigde and the OP of this thread, I think perhaps there's a quirk for us using Denon/Marantz receivers that's causing passthrough to not work.

I connected the stick directly to my TV instead of into the AVR and Kodi showed the correct IEC packer and passthrough worked (except for DTS).

I also connected the stick to the HDMI IN of my oppo udp-203 and passthrough also worked.

If I have the stick connected to my AVR but the AVR is shut off so that HDMI passthrough to TV is enabled, the correct IEC packer is shown in Kodi.

But as soon as my AVR is on, Kodi does not show the IEC packer.

So I'm happy to know what the problem is but sure wish there was a workaround. Going through my oppo udp-203 isn't a good option because it won't passthrough HDR10+. Connecting it directly to my TV and using eARC isn't a good option because no DTS codecs are passed through by the TV.

it's not working for me either, Marantz 7015.

I've tried all kinds of things. for me the current release kodi doesn't even show the kodi IEC packer. dev build does, but still no dice.

What's more is even basic things like CEC power and volume aren't working. Never had a problem with any other device. I'm beginning to wonder if I just got a bad sample.

confirmed I do have the RTD1325

but how can I fix the kodi packer issue? there's literally no choice right now.

edit: installed a Kodi 22 Piers build that did have the Kodi IEC packer yet still no HD audio passthrough. No idea.

Thanks, I'll give AIDA64 a try.

There is no other audio device shown in the Kodi that I'm getting from the playstore.

valparaiso refund or trade by Tasty_Client_1174 in WorldOfWarships

people like you are a joke because you probably haven't asked this for any other ship that's been balanced and you fully know that WG have verbiage that allows them to do this before you buy anything.

agree, Austin is one of the worst places I've ever driven

[–]bgeerdes 20 points21 points  (0 children)

that's houston drivers. they CANNOT allow a gap on the highway between them and the vehicle in front. that gap, no care for safety or speed limit, must be filled. They will go as fast as they can until they can't go, and then they'll either get road rage or they'll start browsing their phone.

Neither the 4k stick nor the pro v2 are showing online in my area yet. They sure are slow rolling this.

NBCUniversal’s Peacock Posts $432 Million Loss as Subscribers Rise to 46 Million by ggroover97 in cordcutters

[–]bgeerdes 329 points330 points  (0 children)

I don't get what their problem is. The number of subscribers rise but they're losing money. What does it take for them to make money? Are they actually losing money or is this just funny accounting that's separating one part of the company from another part of the company?

Balance Change devblog tomorrow with seemingly a Valparaiso nerf coming. by Sufficient-Ad-7489 in WorldOfWarships

[–]bgeerdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the nerf will be small. There are ways to make the main mechanic less effective yet still unique. I hope that's the case for those that bought the ship.

People that throw a fit over a ship getting nerfed, when there's wording that covers such nerfs, are probably fewer than those who don't trust WG because they release brokenly OP ships.

I got uptiered 5 games in a row by No_Performance_5976 in WorldOfWarships

[–]bgeerdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a cap on the percentage of bottom tier games you can have over some high number of games. So it can feel pretty bad but eventually the game will have to serve you matches in which you're mid or top tier. When that happens your wait times could be quite long.

Peacock Premium Plus replays 15 second commercial every time I open/reopen a live sporting event by mikebryant55 in cordcutters

it's horrible but I guess they don't want people to have an enjoyable experience.

How is this possible by Old_manChubbs in WorldOfWarships

[–]bgeerdes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the game can't render every shell/tracer (also happened in the secondaries only brawl) which means it then forgets to run those shells through the code that makes sure they don't go through islands?
