Title: bitrate Attribute from DMS (Q for bob)
Post by: AndrewFG on June 25, 2012, 03:08:39 am

Hi bob,

You no doubt recall a few weeks ago we had a discussion about the bitrate attribute that MC provides in its metadata when it does Play To a 3rd party player (DMR); and you made some changes in MC a) whether it shall send the bitrate attribute, and b) if so, using the correct casing of the attribute name.

Well I was just playing around with MC connecting to a remote 3rd party library (DMS) (obviously in my case Whitebear), and I discovered that it no longer displays the bitrate attribute for tracks that it has discovered in the remote DMS library.

Obviously the first issue concerned what you send out to a DMR, and the second concerns what you read in from a DMS. But I wonder if the changes that you made in the first case, may have messed with the functioning in the second case.

Anyway, I think a fix is in order...

Thanks for the catch, fixed that and also added the channels and samplerate if not provided in the mimetype (ala L16).

Cool. Thank you.

I can confirm that in 17.0.175 it does now indeed show Bit Rate, Sample Rate and Channels; but apparently not Bit Depth.

Do you know if there is a standard resource field for Bit Depth? I didn't see one in the UPnP docs. How about BPM (Beats per minute)?

The res@bitsPerSample attribute is equivalent to your Bit Depth.
But I don't see anything equivalent to BPM though...

Thanks, added it into the next build (>=17.0.178)
