Quiet_Hollow Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Anyone else hear it yet? Sounds like bubbles or something percolating during music. Noticed that after the compulsory "update" of the app, that several of our favorite shows have taken on a certain audio flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twk123 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Spotify is ruined as well unless you go with Fidelify. The newest update disables the option to auto level all the track volumes and it destroys the music dynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I was afraid of something like this becoming standard fare on streaming services... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I wonder if this is the technology? Cinavia. It is reported to be used for protection of movie from theaters and disc releases on DVD & Blu-ray. It consists of a multi-level watermark that is embedded in the audio track and, while being theoretically transparent(not-audible) for the listener, it is supposed to resist various transformations of the audio stream like re-compression, analog playback&record, re-sampling, pitch shift, etc. The base levels are analog, but on the top level there’s the watermark payload that contains some restrictions regarding the playback environment.The protection has two elements (one cannot work without the other):1. The watermark embedded in audio-video content.2. Cinavia enabled player, that will refuse to play the content if it does not match the restrictions.Examples:1. A movie copy made with a camcorder in a theater that contains Cinavia (THEATRICAL_NO_HOME_USE) watermark will stop playing within about 1 minute on a Playstation 3 and display a Message 1.2. An unprotected (no AACS) Blu-ray backup of “The Losers” (US release) will mute the audio after about 20 minutes with Message 3 (for not coming from a TRUSTED_SOURCE).

Quiet_Hollow Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Haven't experienced it with any of my disc-based content, just streaming. Similar to what was experienced with our cable TV service when we had. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
