I upgraded to the latest firmware with a Live Plus unit.
All is working fine (as far as I can tell) except that with Netflix I am not getting audio via the Digital Audio optical pass-through (but am getting audio via HDMI).
Optical is working as usual (with Audio set to digital optical pass-thru) except with Netflix and I am trying to avoid resetting the device
In my particular setup, the HDMI from the unit is connected to the TV and the optical Out is connected to my Sherwood AVR. I can listen to Netflix via HDMI to the TV.
What do you mean by “just try changeing the optical audio.”? Netflix works fine when Audio is set to Stereo.
Does anyone know what is the Audio format used with Netflix steaming?
It is stramne, maybe is some kind of Digital Rights Management?
My TV can pass the digital audio signal from HDMI to an optical output. Check you TV manual and see if that is possible.
Yes it can. I’ll try it out. The funny thing is that Flingo exhibited the very same behavior before (optical out works only with Audio set to Stereo). The new firmware fixed this issue with Flingo and passed it along to Netflix. It is always one thing or another (that I can live with anyway as long as my MKV and AVI and MP3 files are working fine)
