I've done a lot of changes in the audio management to try to enable ac3/dts passthrough, maybe there are some things broken ... Are you using stereo or dolby 5.1 or other ?
It would add a lot of complexity in the code and in user's experience to handle such a thing ! You can handle favorites order by doing a long press on one of them.
There are still few problems in the SMB library, for example it's not handling correctly the fact that the connection could be broken (if you quit the application for few minutes for example), I'll work on this when I'll have some time for this

Just wondering, do you use libdsm ? MrMC is switching to libdsm (an opensource SMB implementation originating from the VLC people) and it's working great with my QNAP NAS.
Before I put the ATV4 into my home theater setup, I still have it hooked to my "test" TV - a Vizio 42" using just the TV speakers for output...so only stereo for now.
Yes, I'm an active developper of libDSM since 2 months now, I've done a lot of debugging for the earlier version that was almost not usable (crashing every 5 minutes, was not reading above 4GB limit, and some other things ...) ! I've also implemented many "write" functions of libDSM (file upload, folder creation, files delete, ...) which were missing ! MrMC's author (Scott Davilla) did drop a message in previous page to tell that due to my work he will certainly switch to libDSM instead of old libsamba version that he is certainly using for now, but I don't think that he's using libDSM yet !
Ok thanks, I'll make some test in stereo !
Just an FYI, MrMC pending 1.2 release (estimated in a few days) will bring in libdsm in addition to the existing libsmbclient. Eventually libsmbclient will get dropped once we shake out any remaining issues. Testflight versions using libdsm have been out for a few weeks now.
I do have to give a big thanks to Sylver78 for saving me the effort in adding the write functions. These were defiantly the tipping point in the path to replacing libsmbclient.

There's a config option in the latest beta of MrMC (I'm a tester). So far, libdsm is much better than the default SMB library he used. With my QNAP NAS there was the issue that libsamba didn't work well if the NAS had to come out of sleep mode. Haven't seen this with libdsm.
The other benefit is that libdsm supports the OSX flavour of SMB (sharing folders in OSX).
Ok great that libdsm is also available in your app ! VLC for iOS and for tvOS are also using libdsm of course
Video Explorer also BTW !I needed this for another app (iOS version of NAStify which also advanced file manager), but it's great that it's also used in some other apps, it's the purpose of open source
What's the problem in using libsamba BTW ? I guess you have to use one old *not GPLv3* version of libsamba ?When I started using libdsm, OSX SMB shares were not working well, it's one of the bugs I've corrected
( https://github.com/sylverb/libdsm/commit/d532b370d257396beea29511765200084eaa10f7 ). I knew nothing about SMB when I started using libdsm, hopefully M$ released a specification document Wireshark was also really helpful ...
Hi
Just tried the new beta version, DTS and AC3 dont pass through.
Nastify sees under the details that it's a DTS or AC3 sound, but the soundkit just receives Stereo. Is there anything to do?
[doublepost=1452620596][/doublepost]For info it's the same with the new VLC app

Could you try to force audio output to Dolby digital instead of auto in AppleTV audio settings ?Hi

VLC is not implementing passthrough yet !
Three reasons:
1) current libsmbclient is GPLv3, kiss of death so MrMC was using the last GPLv2 version.
2) libsmbclient is 10MBs in size while libdsm is just over 100KBs. Nuff said there
3) libsmbclient cannot handle user/pass for smbX. As smbX is now the native samba in OSX and Windows10, anything using libsmbclient (GPLv2) is epic fail if you use user/pass login. Guest seems to work, sparse reports of it working anyway.

I've tried DTS with a known media source that works already with the infusion app, but the audio is only through as PCM. This is the latest version. let me know if you have any tricks up your sleeve.
Noltimm:Maybe this help someone else...
Divx support dropped by another dev. Can you play your DIVX files with NAStify?
Just tried the new beta....still no center channel sound (dialog) with an AC3 file played through Vizio TV speakers (stereo). Infuse and MrMC play the audio channels fine on the same files.
Maybe a stupid question or it might been answered before?
What folders and filename structure are Nastify searching in for Subtitles?
Maybe some sort of configuration for which folders where it can find those?
Sometimes i prefer english subs and other times swedish so the subs are named: <filename>-en.srt and <filename>-se.srt in a subdirectory (Subs/)

A regression from what? From working properly? yes
The experience of the app is no longer good. Constant crashes. FF & REW are unreliable. Asks for login over and over. Deletions crash the app.
Ive been using File Explorer because the problems are to many.
I noticed, no SMB/CIFS options here perhaps i am doing something wrong or it isn't in the app. Also doesn't appear to be picking up any uPnP enabled devices on my network
