lifespeed 42 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Darn, I thought that was it (I did not have it checked). Unfortunately it doesn't work, still in shared mode as you can see below, changes to the windows 48KHz setting instead of the original media 96KHz, and allows web browser sounds to play simultaneously.

Guest asrequested Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I think I see the problem. You are using the device ID not the name (I've edited my earlier post to remove the ID). Try this in your mpv.conf audio-device=wasapi/Speakers (ASUS Essence STX II Audio Device) And also enable exclusive mode. That will prevent other apps from using the audio device while you're watching something. You can't use the ID because that will change over time, but the name, won't. If you were to reinstall that audio device, the ID will be different, so you can't use that. You can also try adding the command to your mpv.conf audio-exclusive=yes If this doesn't work, then something else is not letting it happen. You're using Windows 7, correct?

lifespeed 42 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I am using Windows 10 64-bit. Once I changed the audio configuration from "auto" to "5.1" in Emby as well as inserted audio-exclusive=yes in MPV.CONF it started working in exclusive mode. I don't need to specify the audio device, it uses the soundcard default, although specifying the soundcard by name instead of ID as you suggest did work also. If you look at the log below it tries many different channel configurations and bit rates/depths. Ultimately it does arrive at the appropriate 96/24 5.1, and it is in exclusive mode. However, it would seem there is still a bug here for @@Luke to look at. The exclusive mode checkbox does nothing for me, I have to hard-code exclusive mode in my MPV.CONF file as shown: vd-lavc-o=deint=adaptive audio-exclusive=yes log-file="C:\Users\Clay\AppData\Roaming\mpv\theater mpv log.txt" It sounds like with a receiver you don't need to put exclusive mode in your MPV.CONF file? Perhaps the developers are testing with receivers, not sound cards, for exclusive mode? Maybe didn't look at the soundcard use case. Below is the (somewhat longer) log file showing the negotiation of channel configurations and bit rates/depths, ultimately arriving at the correct result.

Guest asrequested Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well, with an internal card, Windows is essentially the device, as you aren't bitstreaming. So mpv needs to probe the capabilities. I trust that you've configured Windows audio and the device settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifespeed 42 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Because it is a sound card I don't have the "supported formats" tab delineated like you do in your receiver, but everything else is set up. I set Windows to the most-common 48/24 sound format, using WASAPI exclusive to force 44.1/16 CD audio and 96/24 hi-def to play without requiring either re-sampling or manual bitrate reconfiguration through the windows sound panel. I have a 4.0 physical speaker configuration, which Windows implements as 5.1 without center channel or subwoofer. You can see those speakers are greyed-out in the sound panel config. It does all seem to be working with Emby now, thanks to the forced exclusive mode in MPV.CONF. I still think this is an Emby bug. You don't have to force exclusive mode to have it work?

In your case, it's all handled by software, so there may be a stumbling block somewhere in there. But I'm glad you've got it to work Looking at the MPV log files it appeared to be ordinary 5.1 sound. I suspect the difference is sound card with software decoding of the audio vs. bitstreaming over HDMI. In which case I would like to ask @@Luke to try to reproduce MPVs failure to follow Emby's exclusive mode check box. I doubt it is anything unique to my setup other than using a soundcard vs. a receiver. Emby was the last of my important media player apps that wasn't using WASAPI exclusive which implies the bitrate appropriate for the media, so I'm glad to see it working now even if it is a MPV.CONF entry. As we've seen there is still work to do matching MPV's configuration of nVidia deinterlacing, HDR, and now WASAPI exclusive mode with Emby's user-selected configuration. Thanks again for your help. Someday soon I hope to look at the videophile aspects with a 4K HDR screen. For now the sound is a big deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I honestly don't see the need for the speaker layout option. As long as windows audio is configured, that's really all you need. It's just one more thing to get in the way and confuse people. In that last test I did, it actually messed up what was supposed to happen, and I got an incorrect output. I say just remove it. EDIT: Or use it only for music, as it's tied to using the upmix option. Edited February 3, 2019 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifespeed 42 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 You're referring to the speaker layout in Emby causing exclusive mode to fail? I also saw that exclusive mode only worked when I set Emby to 5.1 audio, which is what Windows is configured as. However, in my case with a soundcard, I still have to force exclusive mode in the MPV.CONF file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw that exclusive mode only worked when I set Emby to 5.1 audio, which is what Windows is configured as. However, in my case with a soundcard, I still have to force exclusive mode in the MPV.CONF file. Only with audio passthrough, disabled. When enabled, exclusivity, fails. And I think it's failing in that circumstance because the audio layout has to match everything else. Take a look at this. I think there's a point in the way this is implemented that it hits a wall, and fails. Like the layout is taking precedence, and dis-allowing exclusivity. And that's why you can use it in the mpv.conf, because Theater can't affect it. It's only the option in Theater that gets defeated. It's like the audio passthrough option is directly tied to exclusivity. Disable one, and you disable the other. Now that I'm writing this out, that actually makes more sense than the audio layout. Exclusivity should be a global function, and not be linked to anything. A simple on/off. And there it is. Line 325 in the playbackhandler if (options.exclusiveAudio && mediaType === 'Video') { list.push('--audio-exclusive=yes'); It shouldn't be for a specific media type. Luke, could that be changed to only use? list.push('--audio-exclusive=yes'); But I guess we'd need a no option. How would I write that?

Guest asrequested Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Would it be if (options.exclusiveAudio) { list.push('--audio-exclusive'); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVRider 3 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I am attempting to customize Emby Theater for DSF audio files similar to actions taken in this post. I have the following questions: 1. Is it possible to set the filter on the "Audio" screen to activate an external player based on Audio only files? I only see "Video" and "Game". If this is not necessary, please explain how ET will know what to do with a specific file type (i.e. DSF)? 2. Is it possible for someone on this post to explain in detail for the mpv player the mpv.conf file code alluded to in the post to activate WASAPI for such a file type? An example of an actual file's contents? And, EXACTLY where this file gets placed in the ET folder structure? 3. Or, is it possible to simply point ET to an external player folder and .exe file that I know will play the DSF files (e.g. FB2K, TEAC HR Player, etc.)? How? Although the Emby dashboard indicates "Direct Playing" the output stream from ET is PCM 192kHz as my DAC receives it. I can play the same DSF files (DSD64 or DSD128) natively with FB2K and TEAC HR Player. Thanks in advance. Edited February 14, 2021 by AVRider Update: I have solved the MPV .config file. Need help with #1 above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is currently no support for external players for audio, although it is possible in future updates. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
