Garry,
How difficult to add 7.1.6 to the drop down in Atmos helper? I’m not sure the encoder even has that config. Thx

Newbie here.
I was using MMH 8.0.6 on an old windows laptop, but just upgraded to a new HP laptop and installed 8.0.7
MMH8 Launches and seems to work fine except that when I click "MMH Atmos Helper" the launch circle (attached to cursor) spins for a second or two but no Atmos Helper screen appears. All the other screens load. Reloaded .NET, tried to run as admin to no avail.

I notice that MMH itself uses DevExpress at 24.1.6 but MMH Atmos Helper 24.1.7, could that be it?

...
I was able to revert to 8.0.5 and it works ...

It happens to me too. Unfortunately I can’t find any older version to rollback.

ATMOS Helper is an option inside v8 are you using that or your older v7 link which was separate?

What algorithm does ffmpeg use for DR?

I’ve no idea. It creates a DR reading for each channel and an Overall DR which is the (Total of each channel DR) / (No. of Channels).

When I first discovered ffmpeg could do DR I compared to Foobar and values were identical so I presume Ffmpeg uses same algorithm as Foobar.

MMH uses ffmpeg to get channel DR but excludes channels with very low volume or Peak Max from the calc as that gives misleading DR values or very high DR > 22 caused by a silent channel with a single spike. These MMH ‘rules’ do not affect most files but corrects some abnormal readings from SACD conversions and some Atmos files where channels are not silent (very low level noise. If you can’t hear the channel it should not be included in the DR calculation, right?

They should be using same version (24.1.7). I will fix today.

Hey Garry,

Just a thought… Do you think it would be possible to have a preferences option where you could change the default track number plus file name structure? A lot of my music is stored as eg 01 - songtitle.m4a but if I use MMH after using musicbrainz / tag and rename, the file name will always default to 01. songtitle.m4a.

I just wonder if there is a way to set up an option to personalise it? I see there is already a tick box under Preferences to ‘Use Artist Name in File Names’ but is it possible you could have the option to have a different file name structure? Eg 01 - songtitle

Cheers

I’ll add that option a future release. Let me fix the reported bugs first today in a new 8.0.8 release.

The new file naming option will be added in 8.0.9 (sometime over the weekend).
