Some of them especially if it’s EAC3, doesn’t show Atmos info at all though my receiver shows it. Also video shows as HEVC HDR10 on 4K but no Dolby Vision info. Simply states HEVC in that case. Can that be added as well? Can this details be moved to the top along with video title, ratings and other related info to avoid scroll down to media info section? Also SFN would be a great place to add this as well. Definitely a good feature added. Thanks and good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4219 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 So it's been 2 years+ since this was requested - I'm guessing Emby (like Plex) are not going to implement this as it's a potential license minefield with the likes of Dolby and DTS. ffprobe does not detect it - which is part of the problem, but MediaInfo does - and I'm reasonably sure MediaInfo is not paying royalties for this.. It's a shame as Dolby Atmos is almost standard now on most releases with Dolby Vision or HDR10+ increasingly being used. I've got this displaying fine on my system (without using embedded titles..) by just modifying the entries in the database but it's becoming a bit tedious now - I should probably try and use the emby API in conjunction with MediaInfo to automate this ... Any thoughts ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, TrueHD is correct as the audio format. A complete picture would be something like "TrueHD+Atmos". Discovering that Atmos is also there is not a matter of simply reading some sort of flag. We would have to probe the stream I believe to know it. Actually that’s incorrect, the audio formats are object/truehd/ac3 if dolby atmos. for DTS X it would be Object/dts-hd ma/dts but yes you would have to probe the stream to know whats available, but that is already done in the library addition, as if there are multiple streams and languages available the are able to be selected before playing an item.

Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Anyone checked HEOS content with media info? What does that show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsc1205 47 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Why not enable the user to edit this info? Emby can pull the media info how it already does, but if anything needs to be tweaked, the user can unlock it per say, just like we can already do for the metadata, and edit the audio/video codec info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4219 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 There are actually 'codec tag' fields unused in the database - so I agree it would be good to actually put them to use and allow the user to manually add 'Atmos' or 'Vision' tags as they see fit (and emby display if they are used obviously..). That way, emby also gets around the 'discovery' legal hurdle - as they are not using proprietary ways to discover this info, this is entirely in the users hands to populate it.

rbjtech 4219 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 @Luke Currently what emby displays is technically 'correct' - however, people want to see the full layer of detail for the stream. ie for Audio - they want to know if its Dolby Atmos if TrueHD or EAC3 and DTS:X if it's DTS-HD (plus other flavours of DTS:ES for example). for Video - they want to know the HDR profile used - HDR10 (the default/fallback), Dolby Vision (+ profile), HDR10+, HLG etc In fairness, a users AVR or TV will show them these details when they hit play .. but having them on the emby screen as filterable objects and to therefore know what to expect before you hit play should be made available. However, ffmpeg/ffprobe does not provide this info - The only product I'm aware of that can get this extra info (through 'unofficial means') is Media Info/CLI - as Dolby nor DTS have released publicly available tools to analyse the streams. MediaInfo CLI works well, and I have scanned my entire library to grab the details, but storing this info in emby metadata/db is proving to be a challenge as while I could store in the 'codec tag' fields - these are not currently used/displayed - so fairly pointless. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are addons for ffmpeg that will show some of the additional information. HDR10+ was one of them that can be added to ffmpeg, not sure if all of them can be added though. I believe Luke was looking at doing this before 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfectonline 2 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I want Cover Art to show more 4K movie options. - 4K HDR - 4K HDR 10 - 4K Dolby Vision - 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos - and more that is possible in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4219 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Until the core system can identify these properties, then I doubt this will be ever be extended to the Cover Art plugin.

AFAIK the software (ffmpeg/ffprobe) used to extract that information doesn't support it yet. I think we will have to wait until it is implemented there as Emby depends on it - just my pov though. As long they play fine, this is rather cosmetics - at least for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacopl 0 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I noticed on the web portal of emby you can recognize you have dolby vision file there is dvhe in the codec metadata at bottom of info page Shame that info is not where it should be: Especially when we can't tonemap Dolby Vision its useful to know you will not be able to play that file....
