When playing music does emby use ReplayGain tags and adjust gain?

[Ronstang 296]

Simple question.  If I use Foobar2000 to apply gain changes to my music does emby support them on playback and adjust the gain accordingly?

So have a lot of things that are in that perpetual stage of "planned for future updates" or similar canned answers it feels like we're talking to "bots".

Just to put this in context - 29 users have supported this FR over the course of 8 years.  That puts it most of the way down the third page of FR sorted by support.

I would like this too. For music playback it would be very useful if the volume could be normalised at playback.

I use Emby for Android TV, running on Google TV and connected to my Denon amplifier, solely for music. FLAC files might have stored metadata, as ReplayGain-tags that could/should be honoured by Emby client, so volume is normalised without the need to change the original files.

B.t.w: anybody using a work-around for this? E.g. another client?

Hi, go to this thread and like the first post:

I think this could be the one that @ebr is referring to???

As far as other dedicated music clients/servers are concerned - perhaps investigate Symphonium and/or Navidrome. These seem to be popular, but may or may not be compatible with your set-up???

I'd like Emby to read ReplayGain tags as well, but the Emby server would potentially need to transcode(?) the audio before streaming/casting to a DLNA endpoint because I don't think many DLNA streamer/amps will recognise the ReplayGain tag???

Thanks @user24

You pointed me to an interesting topic. I see that this feature is currently being implemented in iOS en MacOS clients. Hopefully the Android and Windows versions are updated with the feature too, now we have the momentum

This is now in the released version of Emby for iOS and Emby for macOS. You'll need to enable ReplayGain in the app settings.
