schmitty 61 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hello, Could audio codec detection be improved for Emby Server?

Luke 37066 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hi, we do have auto-detection. That's just the information that we get from ffmpeg. Hopefully in a future update they'll provide more detail so that we can do that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Part of the problem is that Atmos and DTS-X are metadata and not codecs. ffprobe doesn't report them, at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty 61 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Is it possible to use MediaInfo for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Not exactly. Since we end up relying on that media info with ffmpeg for transcoding, it's best if we use the same application for both transcoding and media info gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitty 61 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Fair enough. I guess we just have to wait for ffmpeg to get their act together, and correctly report the metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonioRoffo 4 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 This is quite different in Plex, for example. Atmos & DTS-X not being detected, that's normal, that's embedded in the audio stream. But Dolby TrueHD (Emby & Plex) and DTS-HD (Plex only) should be able to be detected in metadata, no?

schmitty 61 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 I don’t know what ffmpeg’s issue is. Atmos is detected by MediaInfo as Format: MPL FBA 16-ch Format/Info: Meridian Lossless Packing FBA with 16-channel presentation Commercial name: Dolby TrueHD with Dolby Atmos Number of dynamic objects: 11 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can already detect TrueHD and Dts-HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
