Music Media Helper (Tools for Multichannel Audio & Music Videos)

Unfortunately the fact that MMH doesn't provide execution output makes it hard to understand what is going wrong...

Is there a verbose mode of MMH (when performing a command line start)? I don't think so. So, yes, you can't what happens.

Is there any skin where channel definitions (L, R, SL, SR, etc.) are not in light blue on slightly less light blue?

Have you tried this in MMH 9 or just 8? I don’t plan to fix anything in 8 now.

There are changes in ffmpeg major versions between 8 & 9 too.

I’ll check out the colours today.

The MMH 9 User defined dialog looks ok with the default dark skin on my PC:

Hrmmm... I will investigate further on my machine's theme or something... I have tried switching them, even trying the "High Contrast" one, in Windows 10. To no avail. Those boxes remain with a blue background. Let me know if I can do anything to further debug this.

A related, but not cosmetic question: what is the "Refresh" button supposed to do in the User Defined Remix Channel Mapping. I guessed it updated the graphic representation when manual editing was done in the "FFMPEG filter" text box but that does not appear to be the case. It... it seems to be doing nothing, tbh.

Tried both things in 9.0.0 beta 7 too. Same result.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, so sorry if not. I was wondering if anyone might know why I'm unable to convert the truehd Atmos files from the LOTR extended films to eac3 Atmos. Everytime I try, the output is only half of the length of the movie, I think it's only converting part 1 of the file. Anyway to fix this? Using the 9.0.2 beta. Using an online sourced Atmos track I was able to get the full length but there was 6 seconds of added silence between the two tracks.

Hi I am new to this as well, I have been trying to do something similar but used ffmeg directly.
I do not think using the eac3 container will not preserve the Atmos metadata, it certainly didn't of me. Not sure if this is important to you

It’s not clear what you actually using.

If you don’t want lossless Atmos, then just convert the 7.1 core to 16 bit FLAC or EAC3 if it’s about saving disc space.

Sounds like you are decoding Atmos to 16ch wav then reencoding the Atmos EAC3. The issue there is the joined Atmos streams (2 discs into 1 MKV file). The Dolby reference player, used to decode, is known to reject joined or split Atmos streams.

Is it possible to have Dolby Digital Plus as an output option if using a 5.1 file not in Atmos?
