Sorry, I don't hear a screeching sound.. I hear what sounds like a "marching" sound.  Like we are supposed to know if that is a normal movie intro ?  Maybe a roaring tiger soon will be considered abnormal also during an intro

Like I mentioned earlier, have you TRIED playing the same movie with something like VLC, MX Player, HB Player, etc.. ?  Could just be a codec issue with Kodi.  Keep in mind that your 4900 runs on Android 9, and the P6 is Android 13.  So Kodi surely uses different logic on which codecs take priority.

I have not used Kodi in nearly a decade (shortly after it got renamed from xbmc), so it is anything BUT a reference.  Try removing certain aspects from the equation by trying different players.

 

 

 

 

Thank you... Okay then "marching" sound...

And no that isn't normal movie intro... it does the same marching sound when playing ANY TRUEHD movie... yes I am aware that the 4900 uses android 9 compared to android 13 for the P6 Powerstation...

Kodi movies using a specific repository have to use the Kodi media player..

Thank you for your help...

I'll just play NON TRUEHD movies that's all... because they sound so much clearer, louder and awesome with my Sonos system...

Just thought there was an easy fix...

Oh it plays, but if it plays, what's the issue ?

 

Don't you hear how it plays? I hear how the audio sounds with the video I uploaded.. sorry I can't explain the sound,  the movie plays but the audio is like a screeching sound...

Don't know what you are trying to show in the video above.

Does the movie play at all on the P6 ?  Like do you have video, but the Audio is not recognized or passthru ?  Or does the video give an error when you try to play it ?  

Have you tried playing it with any other video player, like VLC ?

Just trying to understand why you assume it is a truehd issue, since that is just audio codec.

 

 

Doesn't the movie play in the video I uploaded?

This is the sound I get when I try to play a truehd movie 

Hi, is there a reason that I CAN play a truehd movie using Kodi with the buzztv 4900 but CANNOT with the P6 Powerstation? Just wondering... thank you

Hi all,

When I play a truehd movie using the PowerStation P6, I get (I don't know how to call the sound) a screeching sound but with my 4900xrs, it works great and the sound is louder AND amazing...

Maybe an OTA update will fix that... I would just love to just use my P6 PowerStation Instead of always switching devices back and forth to see when an update is available...

I meant to say that the sound is louder AND amazing using my Sonos system and speakers... sorry

you can also open app on home screen to find out

Awesome I changed the home screen to buzztv modern and it works...

Thank you

But even though the weather app still says Miramichi, when you are connected to Washington, does Pluto still show you stuff you'd expect in Washington, or still Canadian stuff ?

I use windscribe and the weather app always shows Montreal on the P6 when using the BuzzTV 6 home screen.  But Pluto will follow wherever I am connected to for VPN.

Did a little digging and Yes, the weather app does now have the option to "Lock" location.  but I don't think it works (at least not very aparrentl).  IF you change home screens, it seems like on the other 4 home screens, the location does reflect the VPN location.  But on the BuzzTV6 home screen it does not.  I did not stay on it too long to see if it eventually refreshes, but it is obvious that the weather app in the BuzzTV 6 app, does not behave the same as in the other 4 Home screens,

It is purely cosmetic obviously.  Most people actually prefer to see their "non VPN" connected location, which is why the "lock" feature was introduced.  But obviously in the case of the BuzzTV 6 home screen, it seems like it is always locked

 

IT shows me stuff in Washington because if I log-in in my expression app it shows connected to Washington, would be fun not to have to login into ExpressVPN. It would be fun and just be able to check on the home screen if I'm connected to Washington or not... Oh well... thank you

run analiti

what does it show?

Shows this but I'm not connected via WiFi... I'm connected via ethernet cable  don't know if that makes a difference...

I use ExpressVPN and I connect to a Washington location but  still shows Miramichi, Canada as per my screenshot below... because when I use Pluto TV, I get other genres of movies that I want... because those genres aren't available in Canada...

But when using my buzztv 4900, it shows Washington instead of Miramichi, Canada..

Is there a way to fix this or does this have something to do with the PowerStation P6?

Thank you 

esn't show 

Is it possible to control 2 TV's with the PowerStation P6 remote...

My P6 PowerStation is in my living room and turns off the living room TV when I click TV on the bt-500, but I have a splitter that splits the source signal from the buzztv to my bedroom TV as well.  Just wondering if that is possible...

Thank you...

Thank you for how to enable passthrough on the P6 PowerStation... since I enabled passthrough on the PowerStation,  audio passthrough became available and showing in the Kodi settings.... 

Works great now and all movies play through my Sonos speakers now... sounds amazing!

Sounds like a Kodi issue with the p6 Android version

Have you enabled passthrough on the p6?

Where would enable passthrough be found in the PowerStation P6?

Like I said in my original post, the audio passthrough section is not found in the Kodi settings...

Yes, I was thinking the same that maybe there's an issue with Kodi with the PowerStation P6 buzztv...

Just thought I'd ask here and on the Kodi and android help group...

what version are you using?

The latest Kodi 21.1

Bought the PowerStation P6 to replace my 4900

When I play a Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby digital Plus 5.1 movie using Kodi with my 4900, it will show in the Sonos app that it's playing Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 and even a Dolby Atmos movie because in the Kodi settings, I enabled audio passthrough but when I use the new PowerStation P6, it doesn't even have the section to enable passthrough in the Kodi settings which I find that weird... which I installed the same Kodi version on both devices...

Anybody got it working instead of displaying stereo PCM 

Thank you

this happens when using it?

No, this happens when on the home screen... and not using it...

I woke up this morning and my power light was still blue...yay!!

The only thing I changed was screensaver to colors instead of turn off display

energy saver was always set to never turn off display...

Guess I figured it out somehow 

Trying out different options is how we figure out things...

Have a great day!
