Audio Bumper Condition Script

[julianb 0]

Hi, is it possible to make the Audio Bumper detections a condition? 

Like: If DTS-HD is detected run "script1" & if TrueHD is detected run "script2" etc?

I ask because I would like my Harmony Remote to change my receiver from DTS:NauralX to straight if the movie has Atmos, and back to DTS:NauralX if the movie have TrueHD or DTS-HD. 

Feel free to put this in the Request sections if this is not yet possible

I don't see why not.  Just setup the conditions for DTS-HD & TrueHD and reference your cvaction file for each.

If you're on a Windows box I'll do you one better. In Kodi, open Settings, Audio. In the Audio Decoder section set Audio output device to WASAPI: <AVR_Name>, scroll down to the Audio Passthrough section and Enable Allow passthrough along with all of the audio codecs that your AVR can push. If you enable TrueHD and your AVR can decode Atmos, it should change everything on the AVR automatically.

He's only wanting Atmos throughput if it's Atmos.  All others he's wanting to override to Neural:X.

Fair point. @julianb, as far as the Harmony is concerned, they do have an API that may do what you want. It looks like you'll have to register to use it. Your AVR may also have one if it's network capable.

Okay, so it is possible to make a codition for a cvaction? That would make things a lot more flexible! But how do I do it? 

Will this make it possible to play trailer X when movie X is the conition, and use cvaction X when atmos is detected? 

I can't find any options that state I can make audioformat as a condition?

Thanks!

Thanks, I will take look. But how can I make a cvaction that only run by audioformat condition? or is it possible with sequence condition?

Unless something has changed, I don't think Kodi is capable of detecting Atmos and DTS:X tracks automatically.  I have three conditional sequences in my setup.  One for IMAX, one for Atmos and one for DTS:X.  All three use tags as conditions.  My conditions change the bumpers, but I don't see why the same couldn't be used to call a cvaction file.  I also have a default with no conditions set that works when none of the other 3 conditions are met.

I would think you could set your default to Neural:X and use tags for your Atmos movies to change it on your receiver.  You should write your cvaction files first and confirm they work, then you can reference them in your sequences.

Okay, thank you. Right now Cinema Vision is using the file name of my movies to detect if it's atmos or dts:X. It works perfectly to play the audio bumpers. Would be nice if there was a condition that did the same, detected a "keyword" from the filename. Anyway, so the best way will be to tag all my Atmos and DTS:X movies, and use that tag in an condition that have the cvaction?

I'm not sure if it's the "best" way, but it's the method I use and the only way I can think of in order to run an action file against a specific audio type.
