PLEASE READ THE FULL TEXT BELOW OF MY RELEASE 2 NOTES.
Here is some information in regard to Release 2 changes:
A) Added @SamuriHL work/code on porting the LAV audio solution. To select this new LAV options go to Settings/System/CoreELEC and on the "Set Type of Correction to Fix Audio Issues" select "LAV SB" for LAV seamless branching only correction or "LAV Full" for the full LAV audio corrections. When using the "LAV Full" option with certain displays (e.g., LG) the "Dolby Atmos" (and associated "Dolby Vision") toast tags could pop up in a random fashion while playing videos with Dolby Atmos. This is a LAV issue that @SamuriHL tried to fix for the LAV Full option but unfortunately the cause is part of the LAV original code that @SamuriHL also confirmed when using the LAV Windows version. Different equipment will work better with different options, so try each option to see what works best for your setup.
Here are the new options for "Set Type of Correction to Fix Audio Issues":
Off - No additional audio correction. I improved my build code for better video/audio alignment even without any of these "Set Type of Correction to Fix Audio Issues" settings being used. The seamless branching audio drop is still present with this option.
LAV SB - This option is now the default option in my build. Only uses the LAV code for correcting seamless branching (SB) audio drop problem (as mentioned on item A).
LAV Full - Uses the full LAV audio correction but could randomly trigger the Dolby Atmos toast message in some displays (as mentioned on item A).
Seek/Sync - The R1 options of 1) and 2) were combined into this option. It behaves the same as before with the glitch that corrects audio sync issues but I have reduced the glitch duration.
Debug - The R1 option 3) now with the appropriate label. This option is to be used when debugging audio sync issues with me.
B) Further improvements and fixes on video/audio sync issues even without using the additional settings on "Set Type of Correction to Fix Audio Issues".
C) Added unique identification for my build to be identified by other software (thank you @pannal PM4K).
D) Started the code alignment in tandem with @cpm-code to synchronize both builds. More work still needs to be done.
E) Other minor improvements and fixes.
Thank you again to all of the testers that were already listed on the R1 release.
