I toyed with the idea of making some kind of app for this but while it may work on desktop it seems less viable for smart tvs which is what I primarily use.

Though I have switched to mostly using Plex, so maybe I could look into doing something there.

This is exactly the reason I avoid appliances like smart TV where you have no control over the software. With my PC (for which my big TV is just a dumb display) I can use mpv with ffmpeg's dynaudnorm filter.

I was toying with the same thing for a bit - the hope was if it worked well you could build it into a little unit (audio or HDMI eARC)

Doesn't solve for single units but could help with people who use soundbars or amps

Abandoned though - was basically just multiband compression and couldn't find a way to make it adaptable enough (some media always ended up sucking)

Would be super interested to hear what you tried!

Never really tried anything. Just thought about it but I don't know the first thing about audio programming and like I said it doesn't seem viable for smart tvs anyway so I never did anything with it.
