AVS Audio Channels

Post by d3l »

Any tips on identifying the audio channel count (ie 2,8 etc) from an AVS script as input. Seems like once you touch the 'a/v media' node, the downstream (internal avs) is 32 ch. Ultimately I am trying to navigate the input script to the proper output with a simple conditional variable.

I have a feeling that I am missing something completely obvious...

Hey d3l,
afaik you are correct, after the A/V media node, the info about the original number of channels is lost. We would need variables for the "original_media_properties" for that.
maybe @admin knows a better way but the only way i currently see to access the original channels is to save them to a user_variable.
Let me know if you need help with that.
emcodem, wrapping since 2009 you got the rhyme?

Hi d3l, thank you for using FFAStans and welcome to the forum!

Currently you need to save the total channel count (%i_tot_channels%) in another variable before the "A/V Media" decoder.

The next release will let you output the same channel count as the original when using the "A/V Media" decoder.

Thanks, let me give it a go. I'll reach out if I hit a wall (which is highly likely :) )
