[Bitrate] Something has changed....
« on: May 27, 2017, 06:27:37 am »

Something about the internals of the [Bitrate] function has changed since MC20.

When playing a typical HLS URL e.g.

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8

[Bitrate] USED to return something along the lines of "322" which is entirely what I would expect, given that this is, nominally, a 320kb/s stream.

On a modern version of MC, the string returned is blank.

I must stress that this expression works entirely as I would expect when playing local files. Likewise, it does what I would expect when playing normal AAC or MP3 streams. But the URL above is an HLS wrapper and [Bitrate] works as expected on MC20 but does not work on a modern version of MC.

Perhaps I am not keeping up (I am a mere user of MC, not an aficionado of the changing subtleties of its expression language).

Perhaps I have stumbled across a bug.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, as the song goes.

Advice, please.
