[ANSWERED] How To Work With Multichannel Audio In A Movie File On macOS

[kirschkematthias]

Hi I have a 5.1 Problems with a film I wanted to show. I'm working an a MacBook Pro i7, Isadora 3.0.8 and 3.1.1 with Dante Audio.

I have a movie Player with 6 channels routed it to the different outputs. So far everything is fine, but as soon I set the value in the player to my video my outputs are not available anymore. Isadore is recognizing Dante but in the player I only see n/a.

When I switch to qlab I have no problems. 

Am I missing something or is it a bug.

thanks

Matthias

 I tried it also at home with my Allen & Heath Mixer (SQ5) with the same results.

 Sorry I forget to send the screenshots:

Multichannel audio routing is only implemented in the Sound Player actor at this point in time. (We are working on getting it implemented in the Movie Player.)

A workaround would be to follow the steps in this article: Playing Movies with Multichannel Audio on macOS

@woland

Thank you

This looks quiet complicate. I will wait until it's implemented.

many greetings

@kirschkematthias

you can try to extract the sound track as an AIFF or wav file and to synchronize the movie player (volume=0 or only video track) with the Sound Player:

Then you can use the routing of the Sound Player actor. Depending on the required precision of the synchronicity between image and sound it can work
