Those four options are what the Xbox will output when you're playing games-because games won't use bitstream passthrough (see my previous post)-or when you're using apps that don't yet support bitstream passthrough. Perhaps it is unresolved bugs in the OS and/or in those apps.Ĭlick to expand.I'm going to write a response that isn't necessarily targeted at you, but instead at people whom are inexperienced with this stuff.
#Xbox one x dlna update#
It appears that Microsoft has chosen the latter method, and now it is up to Netflix (and other streaming providers) to update their apps to use the new code.Īs to why bitstream passthrough isn't working with Vudu (per my experience) nor with Disney+ (per your report), I don't know why.
#Xbox one x dlna code#
To put it simply, the Xbox OS audio stack works a certain way, Netflix expects it to work that way, and if Microsoft changes the underlying audio stack without working with Netflix to make sure that Netflix continues to work, then Microsoft has to implement the new functionality into the audio stack without changing the code that Netflix, in its current version, requires in order to function. Xbox also can't passthrough bitstreams from apps that weren't designed for that functionality because Microsoft can't change OS code when doing so could potentially break applications. For an Xbox to passively hand-off game audio to audio equipment, that audio would have be fixed (not changeable by moving your on-screen character from one place to another), and the game wouldn't really be a game anymore because you wouldn't be able to control it.
Xbox can't do passthrough bitstreaming for game audio because if 'passing it through' means handing it off without changing it, then it's not simply passing it through it's actively rendering games' audio. The fact that it doesn't work in games AT ALL, and the fact that it only works in some apps now, and even among those it doesn't work in at least some, and that some (or maybe all?) apps will need to be specifically updated to support the feature, indicates to me that this might not be the actual "audio passthrough" feature we've been hoping for at all, and that there's actually some kind of jimmy-rigged "fix" being attempted here as opposed to what everyone wanted, which was true bitstream out from the Xbox. "Not all apps support the feature" - I'm curious to hear from anyone who has gotten it to work in ANY apps. So now we have Disney+ and VUDU, half the list from your sacred article implying at least those should already work, that we've tested that don't work. I forgot to mention that I tested Disney+ as well, and that didn't work either. Thanks for the condescension, but moving on No, I didn't read the particular Xbox Wire or Xbox Support articles that you linked, which appear to be more thorough than the ones I read yesterday before updating my Xbox.
