Volume Normalization

Where do I find the setting "use replaygain tags"?

I'm having the feeling the tags of the music I just added aren't being read.

In which client?

[FatMax1492]

I've found it, tested it, and these files play without replaygain applied.

I'll make a post but it's probably just a problem on my side.

Hello!
I've just setup jellyfin for the first time and I am very pleased at discovery of this thread. I was formerly using plex, and the issue I couldnt seem to get around was that some media files were nearly 2x as loud as others, and so while watching things I would occasionally have to leap out of my chair to turn the volume down because of the dramatic change in volume.

is there a way to apply the music audio normalization to other media files? Or is there perhaps a plugin available that can be aimed at media files and told to adjust their volume down?

Audio normalization only happens for music. But there is a way to apply a gain universally when using Jellyfin Media Player.

Ok, I found a workaround. It is not perfect, so I hope JMP can use server-side downmix someday.
As it turns out, you can force a client-side downmix. In client settings, "Manual MPV Configuration". I'm still experimenting, but for now this is what I use:
af=lavfi=[lowpass=c=LFE:f=120,lowshelf=frequency=100:gain=-2.5,pan=stereo|FL=.3FL+.6FC+.3FLC+.3SL+.3BL+.21BC+.21LFE|FR=.3FR+.6FC+.3FRC+.3SR+.3BR+.21BC+.21LFE,dynaudnorm=compress=24.0:gausssize=45]
I much prefer built-in Jellyfin algorithms, but at least you can hear people talking now.

You can remove the downmix portion and only keep the gain portion. I think it is also compressing the audio.

Heya, thanks for the workaround! I've been using it for a few weeks now, but the slow volume gain at the beginning was kind of annoying - So I tried changing it from using dynaudnorm to loudnorm with good results

Code:

af=lavfi=[lowpass=c=LFE:f=120,lowshelf=frequency=100:gain=-2.5,pan=stereo|FL=.3FL+.6FC+.3FLC+.3SL+.3BL+.21BC+.21LFE|FR=.3FR+.6FC+.3FRC+.3SR+.3BR+.21BC+.21LFE,loudnorm=I=-18:TP=-1.5:LRA=11]

I also borrowed a "mpv.conf" file from somewhere and added the workaround into the file already, together with a simple batch file that moves the .conf file to where it has to be for anyone looking for an easier fix

i'd like to give this a shot, but im fairly new to jellyfin and I'm not sure how i would implement these configs. My main concern is that im doing playback on a chromecast tv, and jellfin is installed on the thing as a client. how do i implement these tweaks in such a way that playing movie files via the chromecast will have the desired effect?

[TheDreadPirate]

The tweaks mentioned only work on Jellyfin Media Player, our desktop client. AFAIK, there is no equivalent on an Android TV client. You COULD set the audio output to "downmix to stereo", which will force audio transcoding and downmixing. Which would then apply the audio gain and, optionally, compression while transcoding.

i use your attachment, and copy the mpv.conf file into %LOCALAPPDATA%\JellyfinMediaPlayer\

it's night and day! THANKS! 

compared without mpv.conf, the sound/voice is so freaking low (problem of the movie industry).
