Not too harsh for a software which violates GPL licence...

Anyway, what about my MI patches ?

bug in mediainfo

Thank you for creating this free software. There is a bug in mediainfo. I have a file that media player classic can detect wether the file containing video and/or audio but mediainfo fail to detect the file. I would like to send this file to you but I don't know the procedure. Could you tell me the procedure to send you this file ?
Thank you again for your attention.

The best method is to fill a bug ticket with an URL to the file. The file may be provided privately to info@mediaarea.net if it can not be provided publicly.

New version 0.7.73

@ Zenitram

This new version (again) refuses to run on my WinXP system with a non-SSE2 CPU. This has already happened with the previous version 0.7.72, and you were nice enough to compile a non-SSE2 version of the DLL for me.

But with this new version neither the GUI nor the DLL work. The change log does not say anything about WinXP or if SSE2 is required. I have no problem if you decide to no longer support XP or non-SSE2 CPUs, but please state it clearly in the change log or add a system requirement statement.


Cheers
manolito

Looks like cleaned up too much before the release and forgot to configure one lib with /SSE.
Please try This DLL
(rename it to MediaInfo_i386.dll if yo uwant to test the GUI)

For the moment, no plan to ignore WinXP users.

Thanks very much, the download is working now...

The DLL works perfectly with my non-SSE2 CPU, and the GUI also works, with the exception of MediaInfo_InfoTip.dll. I don't get info tips when hovering over a file with the mouse pointer.

My workaround is to use the GUI version 0.7.70 together with the DLL v. 0.7.73, and this combination is perfect so far...


Thanks again
manolito

Same issue.
New InfoTip DLL.

This time, I commit in the SVN now so I don't miss it again next time!

Sorry, the link points to the Mediainfo.dll, not to the InfoTip DLL...

I'm trying to figure out why MediaInfo refuses to see the channel layouts EAC3To places in FLAC headers...

Looking at it them a hex editor I can see something that looks like it determines the layout... of course, I haven't taken the time learn how to disassemble the FLAC headers so it may be nothing but...

This comes from a header in a FLAC file MakeMKV made, where MediaInfo CAN see the Channel Layout:

Quote:
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK=0x63F

Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, Back: L R, LFE
This comes from a header in a FLAC file EAC3To made, where MediaInfo CAN'T see the Channel Layout:

Quote:
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK=0X63F

[Channel Postitions Element absent from MediaInfo output]
Is it possible the upper case 'X' is preventing MediaInfo from properly recognising this element in the header? Or am I waaay off and oversimplifying things...

-Edit- it occurred to me, I'd opened the thing in a Hex Editor... and it was one byte... so I changed it to lower case and now the channel positions have magically appeared in the MediaInfo output... Problem solved.

Patched.

Practically, when transporting this kind of data as 5.1 via HDMI to the receiver, it ends up all the same. The FLAC spec says that the default channel order for 5.1 is "5.1(back/side)". Well, it's described in other words, but you get my meaning: The FLAC spec doesn't make a difference between side and back for 5.1 channels. And neither does eac3to. The correct format is 5.1(side). And the only proper way to handle 5.1(back) is to treat it as 5.1(side), as well.

I don't know what problem MediaInfo might have, I don't use it. Fact is, if WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK is specified, that's the channel assignment you should use. If that WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK tag is missing, then the default FLAC channel assignment should be used. On the following page search for "6 channels:" to see a list of the FLAC default channel assignments:

https://xiph.org/flac/format.html
MediaInfo fails to set defaults when no WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK is specified in FLAC.

When come the 7.1 channels FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,SL,SR (back, side, mask 0x063F) the M$ 5.1 specs change (if I remember whit M$ XP) to prefer FL,FR,FC,LF,SL,SR (side, mask 0x060F) over the old FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR but both specs remain valid, for backward compatibility, and any players must play the same with mask 0x003F or 0x060F.

Then, in a 5.1 layout, the last channels can be named Back, Side or simple Surround at your choice. That means the FLAC back/surround channels.

Only the 6.1 layout can be problematic because in the old M$ style FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,BC (0x013F) the last channels don't have the same order than the new FL,FR,FC,LF,BC,SL,SR (0x070F), then here is important the correct channel-mask and order.
Any updated soft, like eac3to, must use FL,FR,FC,LF,BC,SL,SR (0x070F) and here FLAC is clear:
7 channels: front left, front right, front center, LFE, back center, side left, side right

Just to clarify, MediaInfo doesn't show any layout at all unless it's specified in a WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK tag, but the tag isn't actually necessary because there are default layout values in the specs that are determined by channel count.

All the 5.1 stuff is just because I'm not sure what 5.1 is supposed to default to. I think it's side... no ones being very specific.

I am reluctant to show information when not present in the bitstream, especially when the spec is unclear (e.g. "side/back")

but for this one, looks like it is well defined (there is a default mapping)

I use "side" for AC-3, so I'll use "side".

Zenitram, do you remember why managed application were crashing using MediaInfo in the beginning of MediaInfo? I've now a similar problem with 2 AviSynth plugins. Since you were fixing this problem MediaInfo was working rock solid since countless years.
