This isn't strictly a Jellyfin issue per se, but since I'm watching the media mostly on Jellyfin, I thought I'd see if others had noticed this.
I record over-the-air TV using MythTV. It creates mpeg2 ts files using the HDHomerun to grab the signal. It does not do anything to the volume, it just passes the HDHomerun stream straight to disk.
I can comfortably watch ripped media (straight from MakeMKV, no further compression) on Jellyfin with the volume in the low to mid-20s on my TV. When I watch a TV recording that I've moved to a Jellyfin TV library, the volume has to be set to the 40s or 50s to have the same volume level as ripped media. I've noticed the same thing if I play the recording within MythTV,
Both the TV recordings and ripped media are mpeg2 files. Both have AC3 audio. Any idea why the TV recording would require twice the volume setting to sound the same level as the ripped media? Any way to losslessly increase the TV recordings volume using, say, ffmpeg?
Playing both Myth and Jellyfin on a Google Chromecast with audio going through the TV.

UPDATE: Okay, I think this was due to the fact that the Chromecast audio settings were set to Auto instead of explicitly setting it to Stereo. When I did that, the TV recording were louder at the same volume setting used for the ripped media, but just a bit quieter instead of 50%.
