VirtualTV plugin

[pünktchen 1409]

New version 1.1.3.2 and 1.1.4.2 in the starting post:

General:

• Fixed loading of config page for beta servers
• Moved API key input to the proper place of the config page (Playback Option)

Channels:

• Fix for tv shows that are spread across multiple folders
• Respect specials in sorting of tv show
• Fixed sorting other than "Random..." for MixedContent channels
• Changed Studios channel rule to conditional logical operators
• Added wildcard evaluation to logical operator expressions for Genre, Tags and Studios

Export API:

• Fixed malformed xmltv output that occured under some circumstances

Important:
You have to clear your browser cache!
The change of the channel rule for Studios is a plugin breaking change. I've integrated some migration strategy that should (hopefully) keep your settings intact,
but you have to restart your Emby server a second time for changes to take affect. A backup of your configuration xml file will be created automatically.

I have my files set as stereo as the default track, but it looks as though the client is being sent the 5.1 track.

Which client app?

And have you enabled "Always play default audio track regardless of language" in Web app Playback settings, as Roku should inherit that?

should not be occurring. Dose same happen on normal playback, outside of VirtualTV? 

[Ninko 78]

Not according to stats for nerds no, outside of virtual TV it's using stereo, as it should.

In that case wild guess would be faulty logic in either streams querying process plugin-side or decision making process server-side; possibly debug log might offer some insight, @pünktchen?

Which playback mode you're using?

That's a really important question! 

[Ninko 78]

I'm using Continuous Playback (Live).

Thanks

Shouldn't "Convert multichannel audio to stereo" in plugin Playback Options take care of your issue for that mode? 

[Ninko 78]

I've tried that, didn't appear to make any difference.

Plus, what's the point of converting 5.1 to stereo when there's already a stereo track there.

Then then audio settings have to be made for the user profile that you've choosen for the library selection in the plugin, not for the user who will play it in the apps. Provided that are different users!

I will check that.

I've checked and the user selected in virtual TV settings has "Always play default audio track regardless of language" selected also.

Are you sure the stereo track is default for said video?

From memory the live playback mode will transcode (that's why I use archive), maybe the transcode process could be the problem?

Just a guess..

[Ninko 78]

I'm sure the stereo track is default yes.

I've just tried changing it to archive, but it still does the same thing.

Is there any information or screenshots I can give that may help?

Thanks

A screenshot with Mkvtoolnix could help, that's if it's a mkv container.. I can't remember the equivalent for mp4.

As @pünktchenmentioned MediaInfo would have some useful info..

[pünktchen 1409]

@NinkoEither change the view in MediaInfo to Tree or post the media item details from within Emby. We can't see what is the default audio track.

Great Plugin

 

I have only setup 2 channels currently, but its looking good.

My misses and I have 1 emby user between us as we watch most media together. But then there are times when she is not here and I watch stuff, and this then messes with the continue watching, which really annoys her lol.

I enjoy me classic UK comedy and entertainment. So, I created a channel for Classic UK Comedy and then created a new genre called classic comedy and added all the shows I wanted into that category. I done the same for Classic Entertainment.

Will create more channel in time, but once again, Great Plugin.  Many thanks
