Bitstreaming - behavior during pause (WASAPI exclusive issue)

(1/7) > >>

htnut:
Seems to bitstream Atmos requires WASAPI exclusive mode.  And this prohibits any other audio devices from sending audio to the amp.

Is there a workaround, so that if I pause a movie the audio path can be open for another program to send audio over the same HDMI to my amp?  I read a help file about setting up a second zone, but that doesn’t seem to have an effect - if the movie is paused in the other zone the audio path is still blocked.

Thanks for any ideas.

JimH:
Did you try Stop, not Pause?  MC will start where you stopped.

htnut:
…even when playing back from BD menus?  I’ll try that this afternoon. 

htnut:
Seems when playback started from BD menus (so that forced subtitles appear reliably the first time), I cannot get the movie to cleanly “resume” from where it “stopped”.

It would be really nice if there was a way to command MC to release the exclusive WASAPI stream during pause.  Or, some workaround?

Thanks for any suggestions.

htnut:
Is there anything other than "stopping" the BD playback that will cause MC to drop the WASAPI exclusive mode?  Or maybe someone knows of a third party tool that will force a disconnect of the audio path temporarily?
