Incorrect Bit Rate for remote stream

Open LennyLip opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Incorrect bit per sample when playing from URL. Link for example: https://www.morow.com/morow.m3u 1st item in playlist should show 128Kbps, but it print 32Kbps. Also, text is a little stripped. Screenshot 2022-08-13 at 16 52 46 Screenshot 2022-08-13 at 16 57 59

Bits Per Sample is correct, it is 32 bit floating point, as are most of the lossy formats when decoded. The bitrate is not really possible to detect without also reading part of the stream before adding it to the playlist.

Ok, sorry, so bitrate is zero now.

And looks like Bits Per Sample should named something like Sample Depth / Sample Precision / Sample Size. Because Bits Per Sample is measure.

Looks we do not have Bit Rate column (the one of the most important info for audio file) Screenshot 2022-08-14 at 09 44 26

I would hesitate to call it the "most important" field to know about an audio file, but I have added a Bitrate column to the playlist view, disabled by default.
