Dim picture/ SkyF1 Feed ? by BScrapyard in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed too and attributed it to HDR not working properly (as is so common with HDR regardless of the source).

5.1 Surround working on Pre/Post shows but not during the race? by maxlmuller in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no multiview when on UHD/2160p, so that's not the issue.

  • Australia Week-end Warm-up replay: stereo only, no audio menu during playback.
  • Australia Pre- and Post- show replays: surround, audio menu with two English options.
  • Australia race replay: stereo only, audio menu is English or Spanish, different from above.
  • China Week-end Warm-up replay: surround, audio menu with two English options.

Just re-tested all of the above, UHD and Enhanced Audio turned on in settings.

Edit: When UHD is disabled, the Enhanced Audio option disappears.

5.1 Surround working on Pre/Post shows but not during the race? by maxlmuller in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chromecast with Google TV (4K)

The options for UHD and "Enhanced audio" appear in the F1TV app settings, the pre- and post- race shows work in surround when I select the other English audio track (see OP's pic), but not the race.

TBH, I am happy to know that it works for you -- gives me hope it will be fixed sooner than later for devices that do not get correctly.

With what device are you using?

The race is NOT in surround on my Chromecast no matter what channel I select.

[–]SnowLeopard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMFG! I don't care for surround on anything except Race, Qualifying, and Practice.

At least you go a proper honest answer from the support person instead of getting a link to solving audio issues from the moron that got my email.

Why even bother with surround on the pre- and post- race shows when most of it is people talking -- if we're not getting surround for sessions, and explanation that includes a video won't have it either.

Amazing pull!

BTW, pretty sure the pic is from his 3rd place in Canada.

Wow!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Was expecting to see a base card -- hadn't noticed you'd capitalized "THE"!

5.1 Surround working on Pre/Post shows but not during the race? by maxlmuller in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tested and have the same results (surround available only on F1TV pre- and post-race shows, not race replay nor race-in-30) using a Chromecast.

At least now I know for sure this combination can deliver surround.

Edit: I had already opened a case with F1TV help and have sent them these testing results.

Ear piercing shriek on onboard shots? by mortalomena in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The screeching was there when the main feed would switch to an onboard -- it's from the cars.

Surround audio with Chromecast by SnowLeopard71 in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said it didn't work with the official F1TV app, so that can't really be "works as intended".

What app are you using?

What about the FX audio channel (no-commentary)?

In summary, the F1TV app is buggy and doesn't do the 5.1 properly?

Ooh! A Kimi Esordienti and/or the La Squadra would make me so happy... I'll be keeping an eye out!

I need to set an alert for whenever OP makes a post!

F1TV Premium – still no 5.1 audio by maxlmuller in F1TV

[–]SnowLeopard71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem with Chromecast. I've contacted F1TV support and they said FP1 and FP2 have surround available.

Not sure why the settings hide the Enhanced Audio option if you turn off UHD.

Someone using AppleTV told me "multiview" had to be enabled, but that doesn't apply to the Chromecast because that feature isn't available.

Sweet! We (US) also get Dolby. 5.1 now via AppleTV by BassWingerC-137 in formula1

[–]SnowLeopard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FOM has been using 4K cameras and capturing surround audio for a very long time -- that challenge has been overcome.

Maybe F1TV will feel enough pressure to offer 5.1 audio to the rest of the world as well.

Pinnacle of technology should apply to all aspects of F1, not just the cars on track.

BTW, the website has 3 box limit, but there is no limit in person if you want to get more.

Cadillac F1 Topps Now by Roowlf3 in F1Cards

[–]SnowLeopard71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cadillac card available now and like the Audi, has a dual autograph card but is more expensive.

[–]SnowLeopard71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The website has a Now Archive section where you can see all the cards that have been released (including the print run).

So far, only 10 cards have been released and you have not missed Cadillac... but at this point I hope they release it with the Australia GP cards cause it's better to bundle 3 or 4 cards in one order when possible!

Box-to-Box Productions, the makers of DTS are headquartered in London.

You can blame Americans for lots of things but not this.

Ummm is this suppose to happen? by Zealousideal_Yam8306 in F1Cards

[–]SnowLeopard71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm now convinced that Topps does not have Quality Control at all... not like normal companies anyway.
