It has taken me a while to get used to using Celluloid over VLC or some other player, but I've grown to love it.
An odd thing happened today though - I had been using BlueTooth to connect to my speakers, and I changed to a physical analog jack. When I did so - the audio on my system remained "normal" except for media files playing in Celluloid/mpv. The audio in Celluloid went down to a whisper. I can crank the volume of Celluloid up to 100% (or more), and crank my system volume up to 100% (both using the default Cinnamon panel volume options, and also the volume slider within Celluloid), but then the audio levels of Celluloid are still only at the lowest level I would normally listen to things. No room to turn the volume up if necessary.
I found that if I used
Code: Select all
mpv --replaygain-preamp=10 whatever.mp3
in a terminal - it works great! Problem solved. However, if I place
into mpv.conf - it does nothing. Also, that same --replaygain-preamp line throws an error when I attempt to use it in a terminal call to celluloid (celluoid --replaygain-preamp=10) It doesn't know what the --replaygain-preamp option is. Likewise, when I go into Celluloid's preferences and manually point it to the mpv.conf file - it seems to totally ignore it.
I did find that by putting
into my mpv.conf file, that MPV works perfectly every time - so I can pass things to MPV via script, etc. and everything plays just fine. However, even when I have pointed Celluloid to the mpv.conf file - it ignores it. So the audio gain issue remains in Celluloid, even though it is resolved for MPV. I'm a little confused because I though Celluloid was just a front end for mpv, so I'm not sure I understand why things aren't jiving.
Thanks,
Fuzzy
