vlc-plugin-jack ? #145

is here the home of vlc-plugin-jack ?

this always has been a mistery to me, the manual is lacking... No $ man vlc-plugin-jack outdated: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/jack/ near useless: $ vlc --help-verbose --advanced --module jack

Simple Method for 5.1_Downmix from VLC or XINE using Jack with: Kubuntu 20.10 QjackCtl jackd2 Jack Mixer v17.0 VLC or XINE


VLC Control+P "Preferences" Advanced / Show All Audio Output Modules JACK


Client Connect jackmixer:in

Jack Client Name: "Optional" VLC


QjackCtl PulseAudio driver, 48Khz AC3, DTS, DVD are 48KHz


Jack Mixer v17.0 https://github.com/jack-mixer/jack_mixer/wiki/Installing-on-debian---Ubuntu or Non Mixer https://non.tuxfamily.org/wiki/BinaryPackagesAndBuilds optional: jkmeter

Mono Input channel Names: in_1 in_2 in_3 in_4 in_5 in_6

Stereo Output Channel: LR


5.1 DTS, AC3 or Stereo Audio file--> VLC--> vlc-plugin-jack--> Jack Mixer--> QjackCtl---> PulseAudio--> Sound card/interface.

Will Auto-connect all channels from VLC sequentially to Jack Mixer input channels.

JackMixer v17 "v13 does Not work" in_1&2 are Front L&R in_3&4 are Rear L&R in_5 Center in_6 "5.1" Subwoofer / Subbass usually 20Hz HPF, 80Hz LPF. DONE.


Nothing else worked... IF there is another way, let me know, vlc-plugin-jack manual is useless.

forcing manually each individual channel out/in VLC_out_1=jack_mixer:in_1 [VLC_out_1=jack_mixer:in_1][VLC_out_2=jack_mixer:in_2] [jack_mixer:in_1][jack_mixer:in_2] jack_mixer:in_1,jack_mixer:in_2 jack_mixer:in_1;jack_mixer:in_2 jack_mixer:in_1::jack_mixer:in_2 jack_mixer:in_1.jack_mixer:in_2 jack_mixer:in_1..jack_mixer:in_2

most of those settings connect to QjackCtl system_1 directly, Not Jack Mixer v17

I think you should ask this on the VLC support platform, whatever that is.
