Title: Different audio path for Video. How?
Post by: cochinada on November 09, 2024, 11:23:56 am

Hello,

I'm finally adding also my movies to my Audio Library but I need to define a different Audio output and cannot find how to do that.

I'll explain.
I have a two channel DAC connected to an USB port of my PC which I'm using for Audio just fine.
But now, I want to use my HDMI connection that goes to my TV for the audio of all my movies.
So I need to make a distinction between my Audio Library and my Movies Library in this matter but like I said am not able to find how.
Please help!
Thanks.

Thanks!
And how can I change my Theater View initial start screen that only shows "Audio" and "Exit" to show also "Video"?

Thanks again!
I have my videos on a Windows PC on some shared folders that I was able to mount on my Debian HTPC where JRiver is running but something terrible happened.
After the importing has finished the program stopped responded so I've restarted the PC and to my utter surprise, those folders were no longer present and as such the video library empty again.
How can I make these folders "persistent" no matter what?

I have another problem:
My videos in BDMV format refuse to play but those I ripped in mkv format are just fine. Doesn't JRiver play BDMV?

MC Linux does not have bdmv support

How to mount would generally depend on exactly what you are mounting so can't comment on that, sounds like some samba setup so Google for how to mount that via fstab should give you some info

Thanks again.

I found a video  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTRbkQz_F1A&ab_channel=TroubleChute)explaining the process but I had to troubleshoot as my shared folders on Windows included a space. Not a good idea...

I ended up adding these lines on /etc/fstab:

//192.168.1.66/filmese /media/MoviesE cifs credentials=/home/joaquim/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
//192.168.1.66/filmesf /media/MoviesF cifs credentials=/home/joaquim/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
//192.168.1.66/filmesg /media/MoviesG cifs credentials=/home/joaquim/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

Now I'm importing again, hoping it will be the last time.
BTW, I checked one option that said "Get cover art". Is this what I think it is? Will MC be able to find a nice thumbnail for each one of my movies?
