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

[rbjtech 4260]

For the guys running this on Linux etc - can you check that 'emby' (specifically mkvpropedit)  has write access to the source files ?

The file also has to be 'closed' on a file system level - ie if you have the file open / playing, then while we have not tested this, it is unlikely mkvpropedit can modify the file.

As a really basic test - you can manually edit one of the MKV's

mkvpropedit.exe <MKV_File_Path & Name> --edit track:a1 --set "name=TESTEDIT"

ie mkvpropedit.exe c:\mymovies\movie.mkv --edit track:a1 --set "name=TESTEDIT"

Will set the first Audio Track on movie.mkv to have a title of 'TESTEDIT'

Check with MediaInfo GUI or after a few mins/a scan - it should show in Emby itself.

Found another bug.  DD+ 7.1 is being named "Dolby Digital 7.1 " and not including the Plus.  As you know there is no such thing as DD 7.1.  There looks to be an extra space at the end also. 

DD+ 5.1 is good.

Hmm - this may actually be a bug in MediaInfo itself.

Note the 'Format' is AC-3 and not E-AC-3  

The CodecID is correct, but we don't use that item.

This is why it's being formatted as Dolby Digital 7.1 as it's just combining the Format with the Channels.

@Cheesegeezer Lets follow up on teams - but I think we can use 'Additional Features' of 'Dep' to capture this - we capture, JOC, Dep JOC, etc - but this is the first time I've seen 'Dep' on it's own.

Editing with mkvpropedit works fine for me when using root, I use that quite regular.

Yes indeed, these are affected too. They show up as "UHD SDRHEVC".

btw - as you would have noticed, we only add the SDR flag if it's 4K/UHD SDR - we don't for all the other resolutions as that's a given.

Good question - I'm not a Linux guy - but in short, does Emby use any special access or have a service account ? - I would hope it not using root !

That account needs access to write to the MKV's.

We are effectively just doing what you did manually using a pre-formatted CLI command - so it must be related to permissions I would have thought.

[neik 837]

Does this ring a bell for someone?

This only appears when it's EAC3 with an AC3 core like you see on 4K blu-ray discs.   In order to be blu-ray compatible they have to include the core so that it can play on older blu-ray players.  DD+ without a core is displayed as E-AC-3 like you mentioned.  I don't know why they do this, but they do

@Cheesegeezer @rbjtech another option is to use the codec "A_EAC3" in addition?  I also have DD+ 7.1 with Atmos files btw.

Thanks Frosty!!

I'm just wrapping up these new bugs now.  

I have DD+ 7.1 & 5.1 with atmos too and these will be picked up with DEP JOC features or just JOC (can't remember) but I didn't cater for just the DEP extension so that should catch it.

It's a crazy minefield of data field and properties hahahahaha

[Cheesegeezer 3086]

@FrostByte

check your PM's sir.

[FrostByte 5049]

Okay, it's better, but not fully working.

DD+ 7.1 is now "Dolby Digital+ 7.1"  However, DD+ 51. is "Dolby Digital Plus 5.1"  It's abbreviating when it's 7.1 channels when it shouldn't

DD+ 7.1 with Atmos still displays as "Dolby Digital Atmos 7.1" with no plus

Darn... thought i might get away with that lol, i'll have to add in a abbreviate and non abbreviated instances. At least it's working

Can you share the JSON please for that Audio Track.  I'll take a wee peek and fix it

did you check the formatting for SDR and HLG?  DV5 is fixed and tested so i guess these should be too.

Got it.. So Dep is an extension of AC3 for "Plus" 

JOC is and extension for anything that has an Atmos Layer....

Everyday is a school day hahaha - keep an eye on you PM's .... one shooting there shortly

4K SDR now has 1 extra space after 4K

"Title": "4K  SDR HEVC"

HLG is the same

"Title": "4K  HLG HEVC"

Now this is with the first dll I got.  Not with the one where you modified DD+ 7.1 with Atmos

I'm download new dll now

I'd agree, but HD and HDR became a thing in the past few years. Not mega-widely spread, but they're there and it makes sense for some stuff.

[FrostByte 5049]

I'm not sure 1080p SDR is a given.  You can have 1080p HDR also.

SDR is not shown in anything less than 4k,  HDR is shown if it their because it's in the correct color primaries class

and is extremely uncommon, so you would expect all 1080's to be SDR unless it says otherwise.... same with 4K, you assume HDR unless it's SDR so that's the approach we've taken.

 

[Cheesegeezer 3086]

Everyone....

New DLL up on first page....

Please read thru all the description again, as new content has been updated.

I would also ask you all to read the WIKI for BIF Creation.  This will explain it much better and the impacts on systems.  @rbjtech did a great job with writing it up.

Waiting on ole frostyNickers update on his final testing.... and you guys get stuck in too.

But should be in the catalogue very very shortly.
