I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but apparently LPCM for Apple TV uses MAT 2.0, which adds the spatial information to the PCM stream as an extra (9th) channel. Your AVR would need to support this for you to have full spatial processing, so you'll need to check the specifications of your unidentified AV processor. If it isn't supported, you fall back to traditional 7.1 surround sound. Audio formats give me a headache. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Jan 11, 2024 |

I can’t tell the difference between a good MP3 or FLAC, so I’ve decided I don’t care a huge amount about what my ATV kicks out.

The shield is just kind of unpleasant to use. Even with a custom launcher it feels laggy. I keep it around for when I want weird sideload type bullshit but the ATV experience just feels a lot higher end to me. I only have a 3.1 setup so all this audio format stuff is lost on me. Anyone have a VPN they recommend with an ATV client?

Well Played Mauer posted:My main beef with ATV and Plex is I notice audio sync issues in the Plex app especially in 4K, but infuse handles it better and also makes it easier to adjust delays. The Shield doesn’t seem to have the same problem so I usually use it for watching Plex and then the ATV for everything else. Did you try something l like for your sync issue between ATV and Plex quote:Go to Settings > Video and Audio > Match Content, then choose from the following:

Dumb audiophiles Complex home theatre setups are cool because on movie night with your spouse you can start the movie, and then two minutes in you can pause it and turn to them and say "does it sound right to you? are you hearing anything coming out of the rears?" and then they go "it sounds fine to me, i don't know what you're talking about" and then you go "hang on, one sec" and you walk over to the rears and then you start the movie again and you're not hearing anything and then you pause it and you go "gently caress it's not working right hold on" and you start going into the plex settings to see if it's outputting the right signal and then you pull out your phone to look up how to show the diagnostic screen on your AVR settings and your spouse says "it honestly sounds fine to me, let's just watch it" but you spent thousands of dollars on all this stuff and you secretly like loving around with it more than you like watching movies anyways and in the end you say "hang on i need to go see if i can find a different release of this, it should only take about 15 minutes" and your spouse ends up watching Love is Blind on their laptop

Someday I'll have the space to put a couple good stereo speakers up next to the TV instead of using a soundbar that takes one of my only two 4k hdr hdmi ports since it's also ARC and the soundbar can't actually passthrough 4k hdr since it's not the right hdmi spec. Was very weird seeing plex on the shield tv freak out about that since it would just black screen a video or try to transcode it and fail since I've never been able to get plex to transcode a 4k hdr thing ever. Definitely try to avoid transcoding at all nowadays.

I tried out Jellyfin by firing up a Docker container and pointing at my existing libraries. Is the web UI supposed to be SUPER slow? This is on my Synology, so not the beefiest of machines, but everything takes forever. Example, browsing to a TV show and hitting the triple button "more" to do some editing takes ~30 seconds to open the menu.

I noticed this when I first installed it and then forgot about playing with it for a couple of days and it was fine. I'm thinking it's probably busy downloading metadata or something for your libraries. I have noticed that when it's "doing other stuff" it can get really drat slow. It just doesn't handle this as gracefully as plex.

For people having issues with plex and ATV try infuse Also I had some super nice custom-built speakers and a full receiver setup, but I got rid of them after I had a kiddo and lost the desire to janitor the setup and worry about the speakers falling over. I have 2 OG homepods in eARC mode and they work perfectly fine. Welp cya.

There's no subtitle.... ...a minute goes by and there is very much a conversation going on I should understand... Me: GODDAMMIT (similarly this also recently led to me having to go on subscene to grab forced English subtitles from a different release and then retime them by hand because I was not going to watch a movie partially in English with everything everyone says subtitled, and not just the Foreign language elements)

kri kri posted:For people having issues with plex and ATV try infuse Great thing about Infuse is they're finally adding direct library mode for Plex/Jellyfin/Emby so it isn't constantly saving/refreshing metadata and your watch history syncs up if you do ever use their apps. Its in their TestFlight beta - I think you can sign up for free as an Infuse Pro subscriber. Well worth the $10 a year, especially after Plex cut a bunch of their staff and are slower to roll out stuff on iOS (grumble). EL BROMANCE posted:*Somebody speaks in a foreign language for 2 seconds* Bazarr is another great Plex companion app to have running on your server. You can link up an OpenSubtitles and Subscene account to automatically pull down subtitles as they get added to your library. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Jan 11, 2024 |

I've had that happen when my TV couldn't figure out that something was in HDR - or that it wasn't and trying to display it in HDR....I forget which direction. These same files worked fine in a browser/tablet/non-HDR capable TV. My solution was deleting those linux ISOs and downloading different versions.

Warbird posted:Is that why some of my stuff was purple for no drat reason? One thing I have come across with this is when the HDR or DV doesnt show up properly, check your audio settings. if the AAC stutter workaround is checked, some of the audio gets transcoded and fucks up the direct play for the video for some reason. I unchecked that box and some of my HDR/DV videos played perfect after that.

Green/Purple video is usually from files that only support Dolby Vision and don't have any HDR fallback. Web services that support these formats don't send you both. If your client supports DV, they send you the DV version. If it supports HDR, they send you that version. If your setup doesn't support HDR at all, you get the SDR version. Blu Rays have DV and can fall back to HDR/SDR, but they use a different profile of Dolby Vision than the web services do, and since most web streaming boxes aren't Blu Ray players they don't bother to support this format. MKV files can now support DV with HDR fallback fairly reliably, but it's still kind of a mess and means people making the files with fallback are mixing together data from multiple sources so it all still is kind of a mess. Playback of DV will only work if everything is supported 100%, so as derk posted if transcode happens at all for any reason like audio transcode or subtitles being burned in DV won't work. -Any and all information in this post is potentially completely wrong

About the sync issues before, is it immediate sync issues or over time it becomes worse? I've had issues with rips when I used variable bitrate (VBR) where the audio and video slowly become more desynced. I encode every video now with CBR (constant bitrate) even thought I am using different codecs now. For information I saw this problem with divx+mp3 but now usually do h265/h264 + ac3.

Samsung TVs don't support Dolby Vision and I don't think they can tonemap transcode them either. I've had a friend try and watch some movies at her parent's house and their TV doesn't like some of my files. For my own personal consumption, of course I want HDR, but it's annoying for other users I share it with, so I typically download second versions of a 1080p non-HDR and have it in the same library so you can select between the two.
