OK – I appreciate that this is a potential can of worms as DSP-processing the audio component of a video file and serving the result via DLNA entails all kinds of potential complications such as –
- Loss of correct audio sync as the picture needs to be delayed to match the latency of the audio DSP in use
- Need to prevent the DSP from creating a format that the renderer cannot handle
- The need to modify the served-up metadata to correctly represent the modified audio
I appreciate that this could all be a bit too hot to handle, but....
... what about creating a limited, safe, subset of MC's built-in processing that could be made available for processing the audio component of video files being sent via DLNA? Forget any DSP that would be difficult within points 2 & 3 above (and this would probably preclude any external plug-in DSP), but point 1 should be manageable as you already do it for local playback of video files.
In particular, to have the "adaptive volume" module available would be most useful, so as to deal with films of extremely large dynamic range which can verge on unusable when the majority of the dialog is 25dB, or more, below peak.
What say you?
