Volume is too low #6

Closed cooleyd17 closed 10 months ago

Volume is lower than other streaming add-ons. Is there an option to disable volume leveling or increase the volume?

glk1001 commented 11 months ago

There isn't a direct option to do this but can you try this for me:

In the python file ".kodi/addons/plugin.audio.spotify/resources/lib/spotty_audio_streamer.py' comment the code like this:

SPOTTY_STREAMING_DEFAULT_ARGS = [ "--bitrate", SPOTIFY_BITRATE, # "--enable-volume-normalisation", # "--normalisation-gain-type", # SPOTTY_GAIN_TYPE, "--initial-volume", SPOTTY_INITIAL_VOLUME, ]

The comments disable Spotify audio normalization. Restart Kodi and see if that makes a difference. (You can also try playing with "SPOTTY_INITIAL_VOLUME" but I had no luck.)

If this works I could add a plugin setting.

I think disabling the audio normalization made a big difference! It is now much louder with this code. After that I also set initial volume to 100 instead of 50 but it was hard to tell if it made any difference. I think a plugin setting for audio normalization would be great. Thank you very much.

My issue is resolved

Added setting to turn off Spotify normalization.
