Hi Ezra
I've had a bit of time to investigate further and I too can get MKV's to play on the humax when I FTP the file across to the HDD first. This outputs the 5.1 AC3 too.
A great solution for me therefore would be to be able to get 5.1 sound from a streamed MKV rather than it having to...
Re optical - I have cable and can give it a go.
Have checked all receiver settings and cannot force it to receive anything other thanwhat ut is being sent ie 2 cha

Thanks for all the input everyone. I have been very busy and ill this week so sorry for notvrespkndinv to some of the questions.
I havent had much chance to move things forward testing and setup wise, but in essence I am most interested in not having to do anything in terms of recoding files...
Oh wow, I'm sure MKV files won'y play on my Humax. Perhaps whether one will play or not is related to the options used to encode it in the first place?
Hi Harvey
Humax is connected via HDMI. I'm sure the audio prefs are set to multi channel but I will check; I certainly receive multi channel input to the Yamaha receiver when playing Freeview recorded HD content for example. Since posting I have identified that when playing the mp4's My...
Hi all
I have a number of mp4 files with AAC encoded 6 channel audio. I can stream them over my network or from USB onto my HDR with custom firmware, but it's not clear to me what audio is being output to my receiver. My 'info' option on the receiver suggests PCM input but how can I tell...
Oops sorry that appears straight forward. I did have a look through the menus but obviously in a bit of a hurry. I note you reference the thread with this info but i find the search engine on a lot of forums doesn't seem to find what I'm looking for. Is that just me too?
Hi guys
Had a look around and can;t find anything on this. I am doing some downloading from the Humax and due to the slow downloading times want to leave the PC doing this overnight. Is there a way to stop the humax going into standby after 2 hours as always happens?
Thanks
Hi guys. I have recently had to re-install custom firmware as helpfully my Humax did an auto OTA and reset to Humax software. Since reinstall however I cannot install the Custom Portal and get the attached error. Any help please?
OK. So now I do not want to just accept a repeated pressing of vformat to get back to 1080p. Is there any chance a quik package could be created for the custom firmware to force output to 1080p at all times?
I now get exactly this problem but it was definitely a consequence of me putting an HDMI matrix between the humax and the TV. I just accept that I have to press the vformat button 7 times to cycle back to 1080p
Thanks for the responses so far guys. Making some progress. I have upgraded xbmc to v11 Eden beta. This has solved the sound problem. So for simple Enc de-flagged files I these will stream in HD to xbmc on my mac with sound. The big issue with this process is the lack of transport on the...
