Unfortunatly cinemas either don't use MPV or don't use this feature, so while dialog is audible, gunfire is often way too loud for me



Huh, I actually want this when I'm at the cinema, for immersion. Just not when I'm watching a movie at home at 11pm.


It's interesting that even podcasts, which you'd think would be more focused on audio considerations, don't do this, either. I'm mostly thinking of Dan Carlin's podcasts, where sometimes he goes a weee bit quiet. (And Shadows of Utopia, which I have to jack up the volume for the entirety of)

(insert caveats about: artistic effect; I have zero audio engineering experience; podcasters definitely do some things in this vein e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasting/comments/10oqvpm/podcast...)
