Most stable OS for Kodi on Rock64?

[levinliaw]

Hey guys,

I got a Rock64 yesterday. My major purpose is to play HD videos. I have tried Android and LibreElec to run Kodi. I am disappointing. When I tried to passthrough audio to Dennon amplify. It Just got noise. Is there any os or app can work with audio passthrough when play HD video?

Passthrough works on both Android (stock and community) and LE -- so perhaps you didn't set up something right?

Thanks a lot for your concern. Finally I success passthrough on Android platform . It must change the Android system sound setting to HDMI. But on LibreElec platform. The only way to change passthroug setting is in kodi itself. But it still output noise. Are there something I need to change setting？

When enable passthru, this means raw audio digital data will pass to your amplifier. If your amplifier not able to handle the particular audio format decode, then there is noise or mute output. Please advise which audio format that you passthru and having noise? Make sure your amplifier support that audio format.

I am very sure my Denon SVR-S510BT amplifier can decode the audio format of movie I won. Because it works well both on PC Win10 platform and Rock64 Android & android TV with Kodi. All setting is the same in Kodi but Libreelec Kodi just got noise. I have almost tried every published version including nightly version. I review all thread on Libreelec Rockchip Forum. It seems that hdmi passthrough is a known issue on LE. Is there anyone who success hdmi passthrough on LE os? Just tell me which LE version You use, or I won’t waste my time on LE. Although LE is a good OS on Rock64 stable and very fast boot.
