So been messing with my music and rescanning my library after updating some files and noticed the above new details :wink:

Now my files are currently tagged with Replaygain information, I don’'t if Plex itself will calculate those values… but could be possible cause theres more information then what I provided in my tags :smile:

Now if they could do ReplayGain and gapless, we’d have a full solution…

So just a quick update, I added some more music without the Replaygain tags and Plex did end up calculating it and adding the information. So it will take care of it for you!!! :smile: Not sure if it will require you to perform the “Plex Dance” to make it work though… I’m adding all my files in as new ones in a new library…

It gets calculated as a Butler task. Maybe also when you add new songs, I don’t know exactly.
As for the original question: no official info to share at the moment. There may be some news later.

Very observant!

all has been revealed.

Very exciting! Does this info get written back out to the files or merely stored in the Plex DB?

8

Plex never writes metadata into the media files. So, no.

there is something wrong with this background analysis, i have to restart plex just about every day for 200+ threads going. Something keeps threads hanging around.

Netgear readynas 528x and the load count goes 30+ .

What task is responsible for getting this info (volume/optimal cutoff points/spectrum etc)? Which in the “scheduled tasks” section I mean. I ask because I have most of them turned off but I want to make sure I get this new info in my music metadata. And thanks for this new initiative!

Very likely the ‘extensive media analysis’

You definitely have to release a standalone music app for Android and (I say this without caring tbh) iOS. I hate having to keep navigating in and out of different sections just for a few minutes worth of music whilst changing trains on the commute, for example.
