volume normalization

[Devineavenger]

Is there anywhere you could easily add

   af=lavfi="pan=stereo|c0=FC+LFE+FL+BL+SL|c1=FC+LFE+FR+BR+SR,loudnorm=I=-14:LRA=1:tp=-1:linear=false:dual_mono=true"

to the code?

That should be doable, and useful. I ran all of my videos through audio normalization as part of the conversion, so haven't noticed a lot. Loud commercials would be pretty par for the course in 1984 ;)

Adding enhancement tag and putting on backlog.

@Devineavenger I was curious to test this filter after seeing your comment. After some poking around, it seems that adding you can accomplish it with relative ease, and without modifying fs42 code.

Create ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf with the following content: [default] af=lavfi="pan=stereo|c0=FC+LFE+FL+BL+SL|c1=FC+LFE+FR+BR+SR,loudnorm=I=-14:LRA=1:tp=-1:linear=false:dual_mono=true"

When mpv is launched by field_player.py, it will respect the configuration without any extra steps. I verified this with my ears, and by reviewing mpv logs.

Awesome - thanks for sharing that @daguire - I think that resolves this issue and no-one had to do any work. Its also good to remember about all the MPV options. Thanks!

This is resolved, since you can just use MPV default configs.
