now I use one mouse to control Kodi , but one thing is inconvenient is that the mouse cannot control the volume of Kodi.
even the volume control of AiRemote is useless
now I can only use one kyeboard and press "+" or "-" to increase or decrease the volume of Kodi !

You can used other remote control on android (or for some also with IOS)
... droidmote for a full control at low level ... with droimote server APKG NOT ONLY for Kodi
... Home remote control ... that use ssh (the one in myHD to avoid to add some x tools in A.D.M. (even not so difficult) NOT ONLY for Kodi
... Kore ... the official remote control on Android from Xbmc fundation
... for IOS Official Kodi Remote , Sybu ...
... Yaste alternative to Kore
... etc. etc.

N.B. for independent hardware, you can also (as I use myself) a mini keyboard / pad ... like Rii Mini i8 or equivalent.

I don't have any expertise in audio configuration ...
to test I have only a small audio extractor from HDMI, or direct SPDIF to a small decoder : DTS , Dolby digital Prologic 2

You can check with Kodi forum your config ... how you configure passthrough which device you select and normally only the list of supported encoding (supported by AVR if it is able to send a correct EDID descriptor to Kodi through Linux.

So my poor recommendation are :
be sure to be at last Kodi update
be sure that myHD is up to date (Ubuntu)
check EDID to see if Linux is able to understand AVR response.
show (here) your Kodi audio configuration
eventually post kodi log ...

Hi Philippe, solution is very simple:
Under player setting in Kodi disable "sync playback to display option" because it breaks passthrough in Kodi.
Now work Atmosferę and DTS HD MSTR both.

Good news.
Hum! ... now I remember that I read something about this in the past ... and forgot it ... so sooty, I will try to keep better notes on kodi configuration.

merry Christmas and happy new year.

The problem arises that Kodi is launched twice.

Code: Select all

root@xxx:/volume1/home/admin # myHD_root
root@xxx:~# ps ax | grep kodi
     20 ?        S      0:00 /bin/su - astr -c /myHD_scripts/Apps/MH_kodi19.sh
     45 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh /myHD_scripts/Apps/MH_kodi19.sh
     48 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/kodi
     53 ?        Rl     0:30 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu kodi/kodi.bin
   1164 ?        S      0:00 /bin/su - astr -c /myHD_scripts/Apps/MH_kodi19.sh
   1172 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh /myHD_scripts/Apps/MH_kodi19.sh
   1175 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/kodi
   1180 ?        RLl    0:15 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu kodi/kodi.bin
   1260 ?        S+     0:00 grep --color=auto kodi
It would be good for the script to check if by chance kodi is not already running.
The situation occurs after a NAS reboot.
Stopping and restarting myHD restarts correctly.
