evilalien posted:That is proper downsampling as it is retaining the dynamic range found in the original audio. You are looking for dynamic range compression. The AudioEngine wiki indicates that it isn't currently yet implemented though it is planned, while the OSD page mentions a Volume Amplification setting that does apply DRC. AudioEngine may have obsoleted this, but give it a try and see if it works I guess. I use the Volume Amplification setting, but it only works on some files and I don't think it does a good enough job.

To the talk on the previous page about the point of MySQL: One of my favorite things about using a MySQL backend is pausing/stopping a show in one room and resuming it from the correct spot in another room.

savesthedayrocks posted:I'm sure I'm just missing it somewhere, but how do you make subtitles appear only when a different language appears? So say 90% of the movie is English and I don't want subs on, but then one scene is in a different language. Obviously I would want subs there. That's called forced subs. You need a subtitle file that specifies that. Doesn't really have anything to do with your XBMC settings.

Dr. Video Games 0050 posted:How would I make it so when my roomates just randomly download a show that XBMC will still take the download, make a folder (if needed) in my TV directory and place it in XBMC? I'm guessing SickBeard has nothing to do with it as its done without the programs help, and I know I can just use SickBeard after, but automation is awesome. You can set SickBeard to monitor a folder, so just have them download shows to that folder.

YouTuber posted:The Youtube plugin has been abandoned by the developers last time I checked and is in stasis. And this is why XBMC plugins are so irritating and why if you use many of them you'll have to fiddle with XBMC all the time. I really hope that official plugins start to make an appearance after XBMC devs roll out binary plugin support. I have my doubts about that, though.

Lowen SoDium posted:stuff This thread will give you some insight into why things are the way they are with XBMC development. Basically, it's the same old open-source story. Devs work on what they want, and it's hard for new devs to get in to helping because there's no good transparent plan or good outreach to new developers. By "good outreach" I mean, that despite the dev teams intentions, new developers get little feedback about whether their feature additions or bug fixes will be considered, have been considered, or are already being worked on by someone else. This means the motivation to work on the code isn't as high as it could be.

So, I decided to download some music videos off of youtube to try out music video support in XBMC. I add the directory with the videos, set the source as music videos, and then what? Metropolis has a main menu option for Music Videos, but that just shows that source in Files view (aka it just lists the filenames, extension and all with no metadata). Is this a skin thing? How do I do something useful with music videos? edit: So, it turns out the music video scraper is really picky about file names. They have to be artist - title.mp4. You can't have stuff like "feat. someArtist" in the filename anywhere unless you want to create a .nfo for the music video. Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Apr 12, 2013 |

Of users who like watching movie trailers in XBMC with something like The Trailers, would you be interested in paying $1/month for a better plugin? Well, really you wouldn't be paying for the plugin, you'd be paying for a backend service/API that the plugin used to display and fetch information about the latest trailers. It would have the latest trailers from Apple/Yahoo/others within like 10 minutes of them ever being posted along with stuff like genre filtering, source filtering, trailer type filtering (clips, trailers, teasers). All the trailer plugins suck, so I've been writing something better which is backed by the web service I just described. Initially it was just going to be for me, but if I could get some cash out of it, I would...

Sagacity posted:I've also been running RaspBMC without issue. It stutters a bit on pretty high bitrate 1080p content, but I don't think there's any tiny box (below, say, a NUC) that would play those flawlessly. My Revo from 5 years ago (or something ) can flawlessly play any 1080p content. I guess it depends on exactly what you mean by tiny.

I haven't really looked at skins since Frodo came out in January 2013. I just now updated to Gotham and it looks like the new version of Aeon Nox takes out two features that are important to me. So, I'm looking for a skin that has recently added and recommended widgets visible at the same time for both Tv Shows and Movies as well as support for next aired information on TV shows. It looks like I can get the old version of Nox that's been modded for Gotham, but it's not in the repo and probably won't be updated very much. I'll use it if I need to, but it'd be nice to change things up. Anyone know of any skins matching my requirements?

Eminence is pretty nice. I would prefer recent and in-progress widgets on the homescreen, but I can put one on the home screen and one on the hub. I would also prefer a view on the Next Aired addon that showed more shows instead of the two posters max is shows now, but as far as I can tell there's no way to change the view. I also wish it exposed the next aired date when you're browsing shows like Nox does, but as far as I can tell you can't. There's an option to show in in the RSS feed, but I can't seem to get that to work. Amber is also nice. It has nice homescreen widgets. It doesn't have Next Aired skinned, so it looks like Confluence, and of course doesn't have the next aired date when browsing shows. Actually, the Confluence skin for Next Aired is the best organized one I've seen, it just doesn't match the rest of the skin when you open it. I guess I'm just too used to the features of Aeon Nox 4. However, I think I'm going to try and give Eminence a go for a while.

Keito posted:Why exactly are you guys so obstinant about allowing closed source addons? It would only result in less third party developer cooperation and likely poor multiplatform support. Accommodating DRM'd components would be giving up a lot for minimal returns, and could easily make XBMC's add-on side into something like the cesspits called "app stores" on mobile. Just buy a Roku/FireTV/Android TV or make a launcher shortcut to your service's site/app if proprietary streaming technologies are what you want, but don't bring any of that mess into XBMC if it comes caring a truckload of poo poo-soaked baggage. Opinions presented as fact in this post.

I can do 15mbit upwards, will plex server know to downgrade bitrate for an internet connection ? In the meantime you can use the plex Web server to check out streaming on a computer to see if there's a problem with plex media server or if it's your TV. It should handle figuring out your connection speed, but there's also options in the server and the client to fool around with.

If anyone cares, I whipped up this script to help change paths in a MySQL database if you change the name of your server or the path to your files for all or some of your media. It might blow up your library, so don't get mad if I messed up. I don't see anything obvious I did wrong, and I did test it a bit. Backup your database.

Sagacity posted:I ran a Pivos Xios DS for a while but it doesn't handle 24p content so playback of movies is fairly jerky. Also their XBMC support was basically alpha/beta quality all the time with random crashes and bugs that disappeared in one version and reappeared in the next. I then tried a Raspberry Pi for a while running OpenELEC and that was pretty decent but the Pi itself is so slow it takes ages to update and scroll through the library. In the end I ordered a fanless dual-core 1.8GHz Celeron C1037U from Aliexpress and that has been working pretty well with OpenELEC. It still has a few small annoyances: it plays 23.976fps content as 24fps so you get a jerky frame every few minutes and the Wake-On-LAN / Sleep doesn't work properly so I need to turn it on by pushing a physical button. Still, it's completely hassle-free in all other aspects. This reminds me... What do I need to do to get movies to play smoothly in panning shots where it kind of skips? I've got a decent enough Core 2 Duo machine with an AMD 5xxx card. Is it the fact that the TV I watch movies on a set that only does 60Hz?

I decided to disable putting any of that stuff in there. I mean, I get the point about keeping BluRay in there, but for usenet reasons I always get duplicate entries when I get a new copy of an episode and have to clean the library. Unless, there's a way to get around that problem while keeping the source info in the filename...
