Playback of recorded mpeg-ts files has been great with no video sync issues or audio issues. However, I am not getting great playback of live TV (via HDHomerun via tvheadend on an Odroid C1+). I will need to explore that more, but more than likely it is related to my network/NAS setup. The best playback experience of NAS mpeg-ts files has been through using Plex / MX player mashup.
My current settings / setup for SPMC is listed out below:SPMC Options:
- Android: 5.1.1 HDMI image release 20160505 64gb version non-rooted
- SPMC build: SPMC 16.3-0 Git:2016-04-30-22df3d0-dirty
- CAT 6 cables between as many devices as possible: Pine64 and Fast Ethernet (100/10) Switch which is then connected to my router (not sure if this made a difference as I did not methodically test it, but before CAT 6 I had lesser cables between some of these devices and I know at that time SPMC was not working correctly either)
- HDMI from Pine64 to Marantz Receiver

Playback:
Adjust display refresh rate: On start / stop
Sync playback to display: Off
Acceleration:
Allow hardware acceleration -MediaCodec
System:
Audio output:
Audio output device: Android, RAW Passthrough
Number of channels: 7.1
Output Configuration: Fixed
Limit sampling rate (kHz): 48.0
Stereo upmix: On
Maintain original volume on downmix: On
Resample quality: High
Enable audio DSP processing: Off
Hopefully someone can build off of this and continue to improve the Pine64 media experience.
Hi,
I tried this setup with the last build (5.1.1 2016-10-19) and spmc 16.4.2 from the playstore. I don't have 5.1 surround. How did you do ? When i set "Output Configuration: Fixed", the passthrough option below is hidden. I only can set passthrough "on" with "Output Configuration: Optimized or Best match". When i set the passthrough option ON, i only get crashed sound. Did you tried that setup with updated software like mine since your post ?
I originally obtained SPMC via github, not the playstore. When I have time later tonight I will try getting the latest build from github and see if I can make all the option changes that I could make in 16.3. I have not tried it with the latest android build for Pine64 (5.1.1 2016-10-19). I am still on android build 5.1.1 2016-07-11.
