I think you would need to replace the internal LAV and MADvr installations with the nightly builds of those programs to enable decoding of FP 3D MVC files. However I am not sure if that's all that would be needed. I think it would be nice if eventually when playing a 3D file that a choice would be given to either play as 2D or 3D

by default ET uses it own build in version of (Lav filter I believe).  I think that the only way at this point is to use an external player that will allow for what your looking for.  ET supports external players for different video types.

Yes but I think Babgvant said the internal versions could be replaced manually at it should work.

That's where all the LAV files are contained for emby and C:\Program Files (x86)\LAV Filters is where they are installed if you install from their website.  So make a backup of the emby LAV and then replace with the ones from the website.  See how it goes.

It works for me once I register the filters using the batch files in that directory.

Yep. You can replace the filters that ET uses with whatever version you want.

Is there a way I can have ET not use LAV for a specific codec? LAV can't process AAC, but ffdshow can. I'd like to be able to use ffdshow for AAC, as I have a lot of movies with stereo AAC so all I get is stereo, even with everything set to 7.1 (I actually have 7.1.2 Atmos). So listening in stereo is quite terrible. ffdshow can process 2 channel AAC to 5.1 AC3 on the fly.

So ffdshow converts stereo to 5.1+? I've never had a problem with LAV playing files but I have noticed that some British shows seem hardcoded to stereo

LAV will play everything, but can't process the information. That's why AAC just gets streamed directly. You can alter the settings for how ffdshow deals with codecs. LAV has similar settings, but they're impotent. ffdshow has a lot more versatility. LAV is more robust, and has HEVC support.

What's needed is LAV for Android as VLC doesn't cut it for HEVC. What movies don't play properly? For the LAV settings do you have the same results using a different player? There's probably a way to use ffdshow but not easily.

No, the way Luke has written ET, he doesn't want 3rd party codecs used. He wants ET to be stand-alone. All I want is the ability to stop ET/LAV from decoding AAC, and let me use ffdshow. I don't have any issue with files actually being played, but playback of AAC doesn't conform to the the audio settings in ET. This is because LAV can't process AAC, so it is output directly. I can play with my receiver settings to process the sound, but I have so many 2 channel AAC movies, that it's a real pain.

i try a few more times and for me 3D MVC dont work, i copy C:\Program Files (x86)\LAV Filters to AppData\Roaming\Emby-Theater\COMObjects\LAV, the 3D never engage on my TV

 

kodi and Stereoscopic Player play the 3D fine so i know have nothing to do wiht my tv, windows 10 x64

You should post about this in other forums regarding LAV. I doubt Luke will change ET. ET classic might allow you to do this.

The legacy version has these options, and I have posted this in other threads, but no response

Ffdshow isn't doing anything you can't so with an AVR. Why do you want to process it on the PC?

I'm not sure that ET will play 3D files in 3D w/o some effort on our part.

The legacy DS player and the new DS player are almost exactly the same. Not all of the settings are exposed through the UI though.

The old files and new files are different. They aren't replacing. You need to delete the old files

With a stereo AAC soundtrack, I have to change the settings on my AVR each time, then switch back for the rest of the movies/tv. I would prefer to just pick a movie and not have to tweak my settings. The legacy ET allowed us to select which codecs it would decode. All I really want is to process 2 channel AAC on my computer. AAC is for mobile devices, not home theater.

What settings on your AVR are you needing to tweak?

 

I'm getting AAC soundtracks passed to my AVR as PCM, where everything else comes through as DD or DTS. The only thing I need to tweak is the volume.
