Testing MrMC 3.8.0 - [Invites Closed]

[Montoya]

Do either of you have "Boost voice channel" enabled ?

Nope, 0dB here too, in every MrMC profile I have.

Minor issue with the startup logo animation... when the app first launches, the logo screen comes up and says underneath "loading database", then for a second the app UI pops up, then it goes back to the grey screen with the logo animation, then back to the app UI.

Is this an EAC3 issue in MrMC, because in Infuse it's more detailed, spatial and vibrant and 9dB up in peak sound level during intro clip.

But for DTS media below, MrMC is more detailed, spatial and vibrant and 3dB up in peak sound level than Infuse, during intro clip, so nothing wrong there:

1st is was an AC3 issue, now EAC3. Are we talking both now ?

1st is was an AC3 issue, now EAC3. Are we talking both now ?

I first noticed AC3 issue with Live TV and recordings indeed, but when I mentioned about my sound level testing with dB meter app for the first time, I mentioned both:

Live TV AC3 channel vs Recording play of that same channel in MrMC vs play of that same recording in Infuse:
MrMC is approx. 6dB down in peak level when playing the recording, compared to Live TV channel play or Infuse.

Local content, intro clip 20th Century Fox Bohemian Rhapsody (eAC3 or DD+)
MrMC is approx. 9dB down in peak level compared to Infuse during that intro clip. Infuse sounds more spatial and vibrant.

Haven't tested AC3 with latest TF, with Live TV and recordings yet, so I will get back to you.

[Montoya]

Just checked sound levels AC3 with Live TV channels vs recordings and latest TF fixes the AC3 issue.
Sound levels are equal now when Live TV vs recording is compared, so thanks

Now only EAC3 is left to fix, so if you need the original file I tested EAC3 with, just let me know.

[jpalenz77]

I can see the same issue... will check it. Thanks

fixed for next TF/beta

Perfect!

Still happening on the new beta

[amet]
