Dear all,
First thanks to all who contributes to this nice plugin...I would like to give you a quick feedback on the Raspberry Pi4 capabilities and my problem with French audio stream.
I installed LibreElec 9.1.501 / Kodi 18 on my new Pi 4 (4gb)...
Good news... with some light overclocking (1.75 ghz/ over_voltage2) I could get NetFlix Plugin working at 1080p (CastagnaIT 1.0.0/NetFlix 0.15.3)...by the way, it works best with VP9 instead of H264 stream (less CPU load) and i'am using audio passthrough on my home cinema amplifier.
...but I have an issue with Inputstream adaptive when I use "Manual" as Stream Selection...
In "Auto" as my player settings are audio French and subtitle French, I get always the French video/audio stream but I cannot select the bps quality and when it is more than 2'500000 bps, the Pi4 is not powerfull enough !
As workaroung, I set Max. Bandwidth to 2'800 000 and most often the system automatically picks-up 1080p.
But as said, when only h264 is available, it is not always possible to get a smooth stream and I would then prefer to select 720p.
Unfortunately In "Manual" stream selection, the audio is always German/English or Spanish but I never can select a French Audio stream !
By looking at GitHub, I saw several people trying to get the good audio language by editing the ascii.disco plugin: https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.vid...issues/580
Can someone help me on this ? Is it planned to fix this, I mean enabling more languages ?
Is it ascii.disco that I need to tune ?
If yes, How can I access MSLv2.py library and edit for my trials ?
A lot of question, I'm not really familiar with Linux coding... The castagnaIT package contains a lot of libraries and I never found a thread about this french audio issue.
Thanks for your help / advices
