skank 81 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 When i use kodi without emby.. and you go into a movie information screen You'll see flags for ex audio 2.0 or audio 5.1 , dts-hd flags and stuff I dunno if this still works when using emby server and the kodi emby addon. How does it work then? I'm asking this cause, what i want to do is to be able to see if a movie has dolby atmos Is there a way to do this and even get a visible flag for it when using emby for library in kodi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) It should technically work. We import the flag detected in emby, and add it to Kodi. However, the name for the dolby atmos might need a conversion for Kodi to properly detect it. If that is the case, you'll have to let me know and I can adjust it accordingly in Kodi (I'll need more info at that time).

Problem is that it cant be detected i think cause its metadata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution skank 81 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Solution Share Posted February 4, 2016 Angelblue This is how its done in normal kodi (without emby) For those who'd like to add Atmos logos to your skin you need to use "atmos" in your file and path naming convention, then add the following code in the following places. (his depends on skin, so hopefully this will be added in those xml files for mq7Variables.xmlAtmos logo on menu screens.Code:<variable name="AudioFlagVar"><value condition="SubString(ListItem.Filenameandpath,atmos)">atmoslogo</value><value>$INFO[ListItem.AudioCodec]$INFO[ListItem.AudioChannels]\</value></variable>Atmos logo on Video Player OSDCode:<variable name="SourceAudioFlagVar"><value condition="SubString(Player.Filename,atmos)">atmoslogo.png</value><value>$INFO[VideoPlayer.AudioCodec]$INFO[VideoPlayer.AudioChannels,,.png]</value></variable>Plus in DialogFullScreenInfo.xml you must replace this lineCode:<texture fallback="flags/audio/defaultsound.png">$VAR[ColorFlagsAudio]audio/$INFO[VideoPlayer.AudioCodec]$INFO[VideoPlayer.AudioChannels,,.png]</texture>with this line.Code:<texture fallback="flags/audio/defaultsound.png">flags/audio/$VAR[sourceAudioFlagVar]</texture>And you need to have an Atmos logo flag in your skin/medi/flags/audio folder, in this case named atmoslogo.png. So in short, it needs to be adjusted in skin (i dunno if that is still the case when using emby) , but you also need to add for ex ".atmos" to the file, like with 3d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 So Kodi doesn't have the built in icon to display for dolby atmos? Create another Kodi profile, add the movie that has dolby atmos audio track via the regular way (do not use the add-on). Does Kodi display a special icon in the info dialog for the audioflag?

Angelblue05 4130 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ok , well great find. Hopefully in the future, there will be a built-in one for simplicity's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skank 81 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 It skin dependant... you see The skin adds the logo too SO if skin supports.. emby should work too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 If it depends on having atmos in the filename then yes, it should technically work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
