OSMC not correctly identifying audio tracks on BDMV folder structure rips

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
1

Hello!

I’m running the OSMC May 2024 update (2024.05-1) on a Vero 4K+, and am having trouble with OSMC not correctly identifying the all the audio tracks on some BDMV folder structure rips of Criterion UHD discs that were made with MakeMKV.

The discs I’m having trouble with are Trainspotting (UPC 715515291613) and La haine (UPC 715515294515). Both discs have a stereo and a multi-channel DTS-MA track along with an AC-3 commentary track.

The problem is that OSMC is failing to identify the two main DTS-MA tracks (both are listed as having 0 channels in the GUI) and only finds the commentary.

The mediainfo output for Trainspotting’s main title is as follows:

Based on my dd experiments and the debug log entries, it would seem that the default 5 MB FFmpeg probesize is not large enough to allow the streams to be analysed correctly. Is there a tunable for adjusting the probesize or any other mechanism to force OSMC/FFmpeg to analyse a larger chunk of the file in order to allow the tracks to be identified?

As an aside, this older issue also sounds vaguely similar, but I’m not seeing any fake playlists in the title selection menu.

Thanks for your help!

Would you happen to have any insight into this, @sam_nazarko? Thanks!

7

It’s being discussed internally. Do you have another Kodi instance (say, on PC) that does better with this? We think it may be a Kodi issue.

8

Thanks for looking into this for me.

It seems that you’re right. I tried playing the rip on both Kodi 20.5 and 21.0, and sadly, both of them seem to exhibit the same issue.

Is this something that you could potentially work around in OSMC (e.g. by adding the aforementioned tunable) or take up with the Kodi developers? Or should I try reporting the problem upstream myself?

I’m also happy to provide you with any further information you might need to further debug the issue.

10

I’ll look at this tomorrow

As an additional data point, when analysing the file with ffmpeg and setting both analyzeduration and probesize to appropriately large values (10 seconds and 10 Mb respectively), all the tracks are identified correctly.

We wonder if increasing these sizes will have a negative impact on scraping a video library, because more data needs to be read per video.

17

Personally, I’d leave the defaults as they are (0 seconds and 5 Mb), but make the values configurable so people could tweak them if they run into problems, as I did.

For comparison’s sake, Jellyfin defaults to an analyzeduration of 200 seconds and a probesize of 1 Gb.

18

That’s exactly what we’re currently discussing :slight_smile:

19

Can you please check, will it also work if you just change the analyzeduration and keep the probesize at the default?

20

I’m afraid not.

ok, thanks, I’ll add that probesize then for a test

We’ve made the change available in the Kodi v21 test builds now.
Please try updating and let us know how it goes.

25

I updated to the latest v21 test build, and it seems that the problem is now fixed. :tada:

Just out of curiosity, what was changed?

26

I just added a 10 MB probesize as you suggested, the analyzeduration was already set to 20 seconds.
