Any way in emby of telling which media files have atmos sound ?

[vaise 304]

I notice mediainfo latest releases can see if they are atmos or not.

I have seen some people making batch files using a cli version of that to output to a file.

Be nice if emby new which releases had atmos sound.

With the information only appearing in the embedded title for the track I would say currently no as atmos is not a codec.  Emby does not read any existing mediainfo, it only records mediainfo provided from ffmpeg/ffprode directly to DB.  Technically it writes to nfo files also by that information is not used by Emby.

      <audio>
        <codec>truehd</codec>
        <micodec>truehd</micodec>
        <language>eng</language>
        <scantype>progressive</scantype>
        <channels>8</channels>
        <samplingrate>48000</samplingrate>
        <default>True</default>
        <forced>False</forced>
      </audio>

So Luke would have to attempt to parse the track Title and create a filter for atmos.  Assuming they all have track titles.

 

 

So the issue has to be raised with ffmpeg as we are dependent on information provided by them.

A crude windows batch script (save as .bat) to parse the output from ffprobe looking for title tag = "Atmos" and then output the filename to screen and dump to atmos.txt below .. 

 

Put the batch file in the root and run in a command window to scan all your MKV files - Obviously replace your location for ffprobe.exe ..

 

 

@@Echo off

setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

 

if exist atmos.txt del atmos.txt

 

echo Scanning for Atmos Tag ..

echo.

 

FOR /F "delims=" %%x in ('dir /a-s /b /s *.mkv') DO (

 

"C:\Applications\RipBot264\Tools\ffmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe" -loglevel quiet -show_entries stream_tags=title "%%x" | findstr "Atmos atmos" > nul

 

if !errorlevel! == 0 echo %%x >> atmos.txt

if !errorlevel! == 0 echo Found Atmos : %%x

)

 

.. but agree with Happy2Play - until ffmpeg/ffprobe includes a FIELD for Atmos - this is unreliable as it assumes a TAG has been set.

i did this with mediainfo cli.

I was just hoping emby could do it,

Sometime for the future maybe.

ok cool - could you share the script here ? - mediaInfo may have better functionality than ffprobe or it could be using tag's also .. I'd be interested to find out.

no worries :

 

Download cli version of mediainfo and put in root of C

 

Create batch file with this :

 

C:\MediaInfoCLI\mediainfo.exe --Inform=file://template.txt M:\Movies4K\ > M:\Movies4K\audioresult.csv

 

template.txt has this :

 

General;%CompleteName%

Video;~%Format%~%Format_Profile%~%FrameRate%fps~%BitRate/String%~%Duration/String%

Audio;~%Format% %Format_Profile% %Title%~%Channels% channel(s)

File_End;\r\n
