5.1 channel audio stream is identified as 5 channel stream instead of 6 channel stream about plugin.video.netflix

[CastagnaIT]

What are you talking about?
of kodi standard skins mediaflag? other external skins mediaflag? output problem to receiver? film/series that in official app info differs from kodi addon netflix?
What are you saying?...

@CastagnaIT
I have found a fix for this problem, in "converter.py" i replaced

def _convert_audio_downloadable(downloadable, adaptation_set, init_length, channels_count): representation = ET.SubElement( parent=adaptation_set, tag='Representation', codecs='ec-3' if 'ddplus' in downloadable['content_profile'] else 'aac', bandwidth=str(downloadable['bitrate'] * 1024), mimeType='audio/mp4') ET.SubElement( parent=representation, tag='AudioChannelConfiguration', schemeIdUri='urn:mpeg:dash:23003:3:audio_channel_configuration:2011', value=str(channels_count)) _add_base_url(representation, downloadable['urls'][0]['url']) _add_segment_base(representation, init_length)

with

def _convert_audio_downloadable(downloadable, adaptation_set, init_length, channels_count): channels_count = {'1.0':'1', '2.0':'2', '5.1':'6', '7.1':'8'} representation = ET.SubElement( parent=adaptation_set, tag='Representation', codecs='ec-3' if 'ddplus' in downloadable['content_profile'] else 'aac', bandwidth=str(downloadable['bitrate'] * 1024), mimeType='audio/mp4') ET.SubElement( parent=representation, tag='AudioChannelConfiguration', schemeIdUri='urn:mpeg:dash:23003:3:audio_channel_configuration:2011', value=channels_count[downloadable['channels']]) _add_base_url(representation, downloadable['urls'][0]['url']) _add_segment_base(representation, init_length)

basically adding

channels_count = {'1.0':'1', '2.0':'2', '5.1':'6', '7.1':'8'}

and replacing

value=str(channels_count))

with

value=channels_count[downloadable['channels']])

You know that the channels number will be right when in "manifest.mpd"

schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:dash:23003:3:audio_channel_configuration:2011" value="2"

and

schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:dash:23003:3:audio_channel_configuration:2011" value="6"

and here is the latest master with the audio fixed.

I've tried, but the descriptions are always the same

I mean that you don't see an example "5.1" but always 6

[CastagnaIT]

is to fix the flags of some skins? becouse mediaflag are set elsewhere

@CastagnaIT
The problem is not in the description, the problem in the number of channels of the audio 5.1, without the fix you will get it as 5 channels, with the fix you will get the right number which is 6, see the photos here.

This is the right number of channels of 5.1 (6 channels).

and this is the wrong number of channels of 5.1 (5 channels).

The wrong number of channels seems to lead to problems as described in the first post.
