No Media info from Blu-Ray folders (BDMV).

[Luke 42077]

In the interests of transparency I do not see a lot happening here. It's a lot of work in areas we don't have a whole lot of knowledge about, and it will only target a very small number of users. We do not have unlimited developer resources. We have to focus our efforts on the features that are used by larger numbers of people.

Any chance in open-sourcing the BDInfo plugin, so the community could help with the necessary updates?

@@muller_md, what would you be looking to enhance? Because at this point, I don't think there's much the plugin can do without getting help from the core first.

It's the UHD BDMV folder structure support, which is missing. I was able to update the old code + fresh bdinfo with Atmos/UHD support and get emby-server to play them.

I'm afraid that will be a rather large task and not really related to the plug-in so much.

 

The problem is the entire world is moving away from these disc formats so almost nothing current is supporting them in the streaming realm.

 

My advice to you would be to convert them.

Actually yes that plugin could be updated. Do you know exactly which files from BDInfo have changed? When I tried to just dump the whole thing on top before, there were a lot of changes, so many that i couldn't find what was actually related to UHD.

Sure, that "works", and that's what i'm doing, in hope that current mainstream containers won't be forgotten.

It's the HDMV300/MPLS300, HEVC, Atmos, DTS:X, 4K/UHD/2160p resolutions, so a lot. But I guess the basic support for the container + playlist should be enough.

 

This is how the identification looks after "fixing" the plugin. Also playing it works (server remuxes it) on at least 2 devices (fire stick 4k / lg c8).

Ok so you don't know what source files have been updated? That kind of makes it a big job because along the way we have made changes, so if we just dump everything on top then we lose all of that.

I figured this was going to be as deep a rabbit hole as it's sounding like it is.

That's why I didn't bother asking when I saw my test UHD BD didn't get any media info.

This is all I truly want, hopefully it can be worked out. Wish it wasn't such a pain.

It's IMO, less of a pain and more of prioritizing some feature requests over others. This is why I asked to opensource it, if there's little value that devs see in it.

I've made a pull-request to jellyfin to upgrade the bdinfo library to latest uhd-supporting version: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/1891

 

And it wasn't that hard.

Edited October 14, 2019 by muller_md

I'm happy to open source it, but what's going to make this hard is you need to change out all of the System.IO.File or Directory methods to instead use our IFileSystem api so that it can support the server's built-in SMB browsing.

 

That's what makes this hard, and that's the primary reason why you can't just dump newer versions of the BDInfo source over the top. It also means you're going to have to do the same thing with DiscUtils. That means you can't add it as a package reference. You'll have to embed the DiscUtils source and then change out all of the IO methods. 

 

If you're willing to do that, then i can help you get started.

Hi Admin

 

Any updates here? It is very painful, no Metadata for UHD HDR Movies on ISO or BDMV Structure. Even if I write a full  NFO with all stream information upfront (KODI compatible). The metadata are not recognized by Emby.

There is even no way to provide this information over the Metadata Manager.

 

What is the solution here (And no MKV is it not because of preserving the BluRay structure for direct play).

 

Best regards,

Marco

Me again:

 

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/25219-media-info-of-media-stubs/

 

Is that still the case that Stream information is not read from the NFO? (it must be an option)

 

Best regards,

Marco

[Luke 42077]

Correct we don't read it from nfo.

[marcoxyz 1]

Any other option?

[Luke 42077]

We'll try to update the code for our bluray support as soon as we can. Thanks for the feedback.

Feel free to have a look at the Jellyfin BDInfo contribution (available over nuget as well).

Hi, the difference I see is that one is using the CoverArt plugin and one is not.

Have you installed and configured CoverArt on your new machine?

[SvANPhOTOART1 7]

thank you ... it works

[Luke 42077]

Thanks for the feedback.
