Audio Offset Manager: Evolved

Kodi's missing lipsync tool

Description

Adjust Kodi's audio offset during playback the way you always have. Audio Offset Manager: Evolved remembers the value for that stream's HDR type and audio format, with optional finer splits by frame rate, spatial audio format, and channel count, then re-applies it automatically on every matching playback. Includes seek-back after adjustments, playback notifications, and a management view of everything it has learned.
