Audio Offset Manager: Evolved 1.1.0

Audio Offset Manager: Evolved 1.1.0 adds two new ways to split stream profiles and a clearer settings layout.

What's new

• Distinct spatial audio offsets: an optional toggle that keeps spatial audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X as their own stream profiles with their own offsets. Off by default: a spatial format shares its base codec's offset, so TrueHD Atmos and plain TrueHD are taught and applied as one. Offsets saved for spatial formats by 1.0.0 are kept but not applied until the toggle is enabled.
• Distinct channel count offsets: an optional toggle that also keys offsets by the source's channel count, for setups where sync differs between, say, stereo and 5.1 versions of the same format. Off by default.
• A clearer Offsets page: Per-frame-rate offsets is now called Distinct frame-rate offsets, and the three granularity toggles sit together in their own group: frame rate, spatial audio, channel count. An offset applies only in the mode it was saved in; flipping a toggle never deletes anything, and the management view dims entries that are inactive under the current settings.
• Playing now in the management view: the entry matching the current playback is marked and listed first.
• Stored offsets file format: upgraded the first time a value is saved; older versions of the addon read the upgraded file as read-only rather than change it.

Audio Offset Manager: Evolved 1.0.0

First release.

What it does: fix lipsync once and never again for that kind of stream. Adjust Kodi's audio offset during playback the way you always have. The addon remembers the value for that stream's HDR type, audio format, and frame rate, then re-applies it automatically on every matching playback.

Coming from the original Audio Offset Manager? Evolved supersedes it. The original's final release is 2.1.0; all further development happens here. The main differences: the original sorted streams into a very limited fixed list of HDR types and audio formats, while Evolved accepts whatever Kodi reports, so new and unusual formats get their own profiles without needing an addon update. Offsets live in their own database instead of the settings dialog, with a management view of everything learned plus backup export and import. Saved values keep full 1 ms resolution with no step or range limits beyond Kodi's own. If you have the original installed, disable or uninstall it so the two addons do not apply offsets on top of each other.

Features

• Learns offsets from the native audio offset slider, a keymap, or anything else that changes Kodi's offset during playback
• Applies saved offsets automatically at the start of matching playbacks
• Profiles are built from whatever Kodi reports, so new HDR types and audio formats work without an addon update
• Optional seek backs to help realign audio and video after key events
• Notifications when an offset is saved or applied
• Management view to browse, delete, or clear everything learned
• Optional per frame rate offsets
• Backup export and import of saved offsets
• Support log export from the settings dialog

Requirements: Kodi 20 (Nexus) or later.

Install: download the zip below and use Add-ons > Install from zip file. Updating from a previous beta is a normal install over the top; learned offsets are kept.
