I wish I had a volume control ....

[puck64]

Try setting the following in the <Playback> section of config.xml:

<VolumeControl>internal</internal>
<VolumeLevel>100</VolumeLevel>

You may need to add those settings if you don't have them already.

Hi Sub,

I replaced
<VolumeControl>none</VolumeControl>
with
<VolumeControl>internal</VolumeControl>
<VolumeLevel>100</VolumeLevel>

I will keep you posted on how it goes.

BTW I hope you didn't mind the PM

anyone know whether the old VolumeOSD plugin still works? http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....VolumeOSD

Yep!

There is this to see what's occurring ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....VolumeOSD

Tried that .... like you said, it only lets you know the Windows Volume setting.

NPVR 3.x broke some of the old plugins, it might need to be recompiled for .net 4.0?

Yep it works .... but it only shows the system volume

Hi Sub,

<VolumeControl>internal</VolumeControl>
<VolumeLevel>100</VolumeLevel>

did not work

Those settings will mean NextPVR is already requesting full volume from directshow, so your problem is more likely the lower relative volume levels being used by your broadcaster, or your decoder is producing a lower level of volume.

If you use lower values, do you hear the volume be reduced?

Hi Sub,

The settings only seem to work for live tv not on recorded videos (mp4).

I had a look at your version of FFMPEG it supports "vol" eg. "-acodec ac3 -ab 192k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -vol 400",
but I am not sure that FFMPEG is used for playback of recorded videos. NOTE: Later versions use "-filter:a volume=3dB".

So it looks like I will have to up the recorded volume by ... say 6dB prior to watching on NPVR.

If it sounds fine in other apps then you need to try different audio decoders till you find one that will work well

Hi Sub,

Those settings do work with recorded videos too, but only .ts files, like those recorded by NextPVR. These settings don't currently work with any other file types. I've made a modification for the next release to also apply those volume settings for other file types, like mp4 etc.

Thanks Sub

All we need now is the ability to push the volume past 100%

Would I be correct in guessing that ffmpeg is only used for transcoding? :o

[stustunz]

ffdshow and ac3 filter can boost
I am not sure exactly what file you are getting from recordings so cant give exacts on what to use without a sample
