Guest asrequested Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I changed to your settings, eveything worked except the DXVA2copyback acceleration, had to change it back to "Auto". It is now playing with "Direct Playing" and Dolby D, awesome. Will monitor to see how it plays, and see if the volume keeps dropping like some other videos. And you've set your AVR as your WASAPI device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkss12 296 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Been watching "A Christmas Story" for about an hour now and it plays very well with "Direct Playing". Like the other videos, there is an occasional audio "sag", not really a drop out of audio, just volume drops a little. Not sure it is due to this server software or some other causes like network or devices that are storing my media. Anyway I am attaching a log, if any one cares to take a look. The last volume "sag" was around the 18:01 mark, give or take a few seconds. I would classify watching this video in its present condition of comfort level of 98 of 100, not perfect but almost. Watched "Home Alone" last night (only half of it), but the comfort level would be about 92 of 100 because of the audio volume drops. Edit: 192.168.10.103 is my Tronsmart Ara X5 running both server and ET that I am playing the movie on. 192.168.10.102 is my Windows 7 desktop PC that I am monitoring the Emby dashboard 192.168.10.74 is my Synology NAS that I am playing this movie from. 192.168.10.111 is my WD NAS, but not playing any media from it, but it shows up in the log during that time frame.

Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Can you reproduce the audio sags on another player (VLC or MPC)? If it is direct playing the issues is definently on the client end of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37251 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Even that is an apples to oranges comparison because correct me if i'm wrong but vlc does not have wasapi output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 True, MPC-HC with LAV would be a better comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 But if it's bitstreaming there shouldn't be any software involvement. It's all down to the AVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Could be the media file itself or maybe a dynamic range setting on your AVR. On Denon AVRs it usually called Dynamic Volume. My bet is the file itself. Edited December 11, 2016 by Jdiesel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
