@Yomis - the forum language is English only please.

Use of services such as Google Translate is fine if required, although from the rogue font tags above I think you're maybe also which doesn't work so well on this forum.

Hi @Yomis

The tracks marked as "Dolby Atmos" are played as "Dolby Digital 5.1" because the "real" Dolby Atmos uses the Dolby-AC4 codec which is not playable with Kodi yet.
The sound level of this Dolby Digital streams is very low.

OK, thanks for the answer and sorry for the previous message, I did something wrong when copying the translation

Hi @Adriano93,

the inputstream.ffmpegdirect is the default player in your settings. But the log shows that you get normal http streams. Please try to deactivate the setting "Use inputstream.ffmpegdirect as default player".
see post #673

Hi @jaybee01 ,

On my github repository are some tips to solve gapless playback problems: https://github.com/arnesongit/plugin.aud...2/issues/5

Also the deactivatation of the setting "Use inputstream.ffmpegdirect as default player" can solve this, because the inputstream addons are handled as video playback addons.
There is no gapless playback in video mode.

Hello there!

I’m using the addon with CoreELEC 19.5 in a Odroid N2+.
In the first time I opened it was able to see some tracks being played at 24bit but then something happened and now it plays only at 16bit.
Using Tv Dolby Atmos device type. Music quality is set to MQA.
What might have changed?

Hi @encryptedbr,

not all MQA songs are payed with 24bit. Some are 16bit and some 24bit. It can also depend on the selected device type.
A good way to check the bit depth of a stream is to enable the setting "Use inputstream.ffmpegdirect as default player" and check the kod log file.
The inputstream.ffmpegdirect addon logs the codec details like this:
Example for 24bit:

Code:

AddOnLog: inputstream.ffmpegdirect: ffmpeg[AB8D011]:   Duration: 00:03:14.21, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1658 kb/s

AddOnLog: inputstream.ffmpegdirect: ffmpeg[AB8D011]:   Stream #0:0: Audio: flac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s32 (24 bit)

Example for 16bit:

Code:

AddOnLog: inputstream.ffmpegdirect: ffmpeg[AB8D011]:   Duration: 00:03:20.00, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 0 kb/s

AddOnLog: inputstream.ffmpegdirect: ffmpeg[AB8D011]:   Stream #0:0: Audio: flac (fLaC / 0x43614C66), 44100 Hz, stereo, s16, 550 kb/s (default)

Hi @arneson, thanks for your support.
I has able to play 24 bit streams by disabling passthrough.
But there's another problem happening with more than 50% of the tracks I try to play.
They simply won't play and fail with the message to verify the log to more information.
In the log I can see the following when trying to play these tracks:

@encryptedbr please stop posting logs directly into the thread.

Did you not see the big red text above the "post reply" that states "Do not post logs in the forum. Use https://paste.kodi.tv/ instead." ?

Many thanks.

Sorry, haven't seen.
Will stop and use paste.kodi from now on

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and in my search for the best way to use Tidal, after a lot of trying and reading I ended up on this forum.
Now I have installed Tidal on Coreelec - Matrix 19.5 as described here and it works so far - even with Premium plus registration.

My problem is, that on my IFI Zen DAC V2 all songs that arrived under Android Tidal App as Original Sample Rate (purple) or USB Audio Player Pro (MQA Studio - blue) now arrive as PCM 44.1/48kHz (yellow). As I write this, one song was recognized as MQA (green) and another (not MQA) could not be played - but others that weren't MQA's were. I think I'm on the right track, but the finer points are still missing. Hope there is a solution and someone to show me the way.

I'm really excited about the support here
