Hey,
Just checked here:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/31e6e5...69d62d8432
and apx 2 hours ago it seems the 8 year old ticket was closed with the following description.
Added: simple dynamic range compression, a volume amplification slider is now available in the audio and subtitles dialog, which can be used to increase the video volume, a limiter is turned on to prevent clipping.
This limiter is also enabled when a downmix configuration can produce clipping, for example when boost volume on downmix is turned on.
The limiter's hold and release times can be configured through advancedsettings.xml.
Now, originally I think the ticket was opened as a DRC option for DTS etc and from what the description says, I'm a tad confused? Is this DRC for DTS/AC3 bitstreams etc or is this something else?
Can anyone shed any light on this for me, how it will function in the real world, does it amplify quiet sounds to a set db and limit loud sounds to a set db etc..
The description is a tad unclear for me as to how it will actually function and on what types of audio etc?
My main interest in this, is due to the fact that I have a VSX-921 (EU model) which cost apx £500 and has DRC for DTS/AC3 and HD Codecs etc .. However some movies has NO DRC information available and therefore it makes no difference when enabled. This may help to solve this issue if it does indeed add DRC to all content including DTS tracks etc.
Thanks in advance...
