Dolby TrueHD passthrough - modified mpv build As some of you may have noticed, passing through Dolby TrueHD content can be hit or miss - some files work, others won’t - this build tries to fix this under specific circumstances. Why is the current mpv lib broken? Well, 3 years ago I opened a bug …

This is just the file at a certain point in time which constitutes several commits in difference. Realistically we can’t actually look at it without it being constrained to only the differences specific to what you need.

Well, I´m not sure if I understand your reply correctly… (translation-wise) Do you mean the spdifenc.c file is useless without the diff? If that is the problem I can create a small GitHub repo with all the necessary changes needed if you like. Just let me know! Also, did you receive my sample file ?…

The spdifenc.c is almost entirely what it was in commit 827bdc8418 ( See the file at this commit on FFmpeg’s github repo ). There have been 6 commits since then. The best way to get us (and really FFmpeg developers because you’d really want them) to look at it is to close that repo into your github …

Recently I’ve noticed some sound drops for the first time since I’m using Plex HTPC with Dolby TrueHD content. I’m using PlexHTPC-1.30.1.3391-8c2e653b-x86_64 and I wanted to try the modified dll from mpv-dev-x86_64-v3-20221202-git-77e7f5d-old-truehd-spdifenc.zip. I’ve copied the mpv-2.dll to “C:\Pro…

Thank you, it was indeed missing. But even after adding it, Plex still won’t start playback. I can see in the logfile, that the tls-ca-file path is set now (and the path is correct), but I still get an error. Plex HTPC.log (351.7 KB)

This is very weird. Somehow FFmpeg is not able to resolve your server’s address. ffmpeg: tcp: Failed to resolve hostname 192-168-178-4.33a5a84e513f43afa47653c41086db36.plex.direct: The name does not resolve for the supplied parameters Does it work with the shipped mpv.dll? Can you please reinstall…

@gbooker02 I hope this is fine now => GitHub - mitzsch/FFmpeg at old-truehd-spdifenc-logic old-truehd-spdifenc-logic Mirror of https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git. Contribute to mitzsch/FFmpeg development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub - mit…

I actually did all that already before posting my last log, deleted the Plex HTPC directory, reinstalled, tested with the original dll (worked fine), replaced with modified dll and I get the error.

You are probably missing the tls-ca-file line in your mpv.conf file. (Your log proves this) Instructions can be found here => HTPC Tips and Tricks - #3 by gbooker02
