MediaInfo For Emby Plugin(HDR, Vision, Atmos, DTS:X)

[FrostByte 5052]

I don't know if anyone noticed, but mediainfo doesn't detect DTS:X correctly with IMAX enhanced movies and instead sees them as regular DTS-HD MA 7.1.  They trigger DTS:X correctly on my soundbar though and the developer of mediainfo says it will require further reverse engineering to fix.

Some of the titles I have which aren't detected by mediainfo correctly are:

• A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
• Jumanji The Next Level
• Zombieland Double Tap

I've modified the Title for those manually for now.  The only other way I can think of fixing this is if @Cheesegeezercreated a list and changed these in the plug-in somehow.  Might not be desirable

Hi @FrostByte - I thought you may be able to just modify the MKV attributes to add those fields but there is nothing obviously 'different' between a DTS-HD and a DTS-X when using the MKV Header Editor / MKVMerge.  So mediainfo CLI must be doing some internal processing to identify it and then create it's own fields (ie nothing to do with the MKV itself).

If we did want to have an overwrite rule - then we could just store them in the XML (by EmbyID for example) but it's a lot of extra work for the sake of just modifying it manually in MKVtoolnix..    or wait for MediaInfo to fix it obviously.

 

Thanks for raising another audio codec variant - I thought I had caught all the formats with my collection - but I guess not !   I'll update the Wiki to alert users to this exception.  Done

Just thinking out loud for a moment, knowing it's way too late and wasn't the concept, buuuuut... the functions in form of meta data provider plugins would give a bit more flexibility and make them get triggered during imports.

Ok, I guess I should run now...

Ya, I looked in the headers too and was hoping I could just modify "Format AdditionalFeatures" to "XLL X", but they don't expose that

That would allow the user to update the override list.  The only downfall of modifying the Title manually is that eventually someone will want to refresh everything and need to go back and edit those again.  Is it worth Cheese's effort though?  I'm not sure how many of these IMAX enhanced DTS:X movies there are.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the mediainfo dev though looking at the comments in the open item 

[FrostByte 5052]

I guess another option would be an exclude list.  Let the user manually update the headers, but don't refresh the items listed in the XML.  Sort of like a lock even when refreshing

The only thing i have noticed during the coding and looking at countless 100's of mediaInfo JSON's, is Atmos and DTS:X have "16" contained in the "Format_Settings_Mode": "16",

If we can 100% assertain that this is unique to DTS:X and not to DTS:HD MA this could be a work around.   Dunno if you fancy doing some digging for me Frosty?

I can check.  I have a PS script and can create a spreadsheet of all my movies and see if there is anything unique

Would it be easier to create a XML lock list and let the user update the headers and the locked movies manually?

[grimevil 54]

Hi,

I am not sure if it is working on my Emby server(4.8, Docker, Synology). As I am not seeing any changes on any of my files currently, example below.

I have attached my logs and mediainfo config if that helps.

any ideas, unless I am completely blind of course

Thanks

Or, I just save the link you found and just update them myself because I hope not to refresh that often

i got 2 options here...

1. I can create a IgnoreList in XML and leave the user to update that
2. I would prefer to put an input field on the UI, for user to add comma seperated list of Item Id's.  

12345, 13233, 7845, 16, 12890 which would be populated in the UI and saved to the list.  Then if you wish to remove an item, you can just delete from the ui list. click save and that would do the trick.  At least all the config stuff is in the same place.

What do you guys think would that work?

Hi there..  looking at your logs, nothing has happened.  You should expect to see these entries for each video and audio stream in an info Log. 

Log.Info("Video Stream Updated to: {0}", sb.ToString());

Log.Info("Audio Stream #" + trackIndex + " Updated to: {0}", _audioTrackTitle);

Log.Info("Only 1 Audio Stream - Removing *Default* from Title -  Updated to: {0}", _audioTrackTitle);

 

Can you please turn on debug logging.

I will be releasing a new version very shortly so wait for that and see if this fixes your problem.

A comma generated ignore list in the UI would be best I think.  I know a lot of Synology users don't like to go messing around in directories that aren't in shared folders.  

 

[Spaceboy 2499]

i seem to be having the same issue being reported here. log reports success in updating both video and audio (even though i only have video options set) but nothing shown in emby or in file titles. will await new dll

[Spaceboy 2499]

ah i now understand its updating audio settings to the default and the options are to modify from the default so ignore the bit in brackets above

@CBers

 

Guys i've just dropped a new dll on first post.

This should fix everything (he says under baited breath)

No Exclude list yet.  Lets make sure this is all working well.

Please enable debug logging.  

Version has changed to 0.0.1.4 so we can increment releases

Cheers fellas and Please TRY to break it - do your worst - mwahahahhahahaha

You are definitely using MediaInfoCLI version not the GUI?

Do you need to create permissions for the exe's to run.

I'll check the log now

 

[grimevil 54]

I have installed the syncro packages, I provided access to them via the docker image,  then I mapped the path as below. 

[Cheesegeezer 3087]

i'm not familiar with linux or other variants of linux.  

but it clearly points to either the package not being the correct one or a GUI version of MediaInfo being use.

sorry i can't help more

 

[FrostByte 5052]

It's still not updating the video portion of lots of new stuff I add even though the log says it is updating.  For instance, the 3rd episode of Obi-Wan.  Even though the first 2 episodes update with no problem.  There are several episodes and movies which won't update, but it's always the same ones.

Well, at least for the audio tracks, video is still not being edited, dunno why, can't see anything in the logs either.

Just tested the latest version but unfortunately the naming of video tracks still seems to be an issue.
