Multiple audio tracks with different codecs and languages

[rednoah]

I've never seen a Title field for an audio stream:

Code: Select all

Title                            : Dolby Digital Plus Audio / 7.1 / 48 kHz / 1280 kbps

I guess this Title tag is supposed to show up when you select a given audio stream in your media player. Someone thought this is a good display value for this audio stream.

Might be useful, but probably won't be defined for the vast majority of files.

My assumption was that the "title" field is an optional metadata tag and I wouldn't want to rely on it.

For naming purposes I found out that the AdditionalFeatures bascically means a hybrid stream.
In this case there seem to be:

• "base" 5.1 AC-3 stream, decodable by an AC-3 decoder. (The Format field which represents the "minimal" decoder required)
• Dependant E-AC-3 stream with 2 additional channels, optional and apparently interleaved with the first one (The Format/String apparently)

It seems to be part of E-AC-3 which allows embedding a core AC-3 stream.

The ChannelPositions/String2 seems a bug, a workaround in this specific case would be to tokenize by comma ChannelPositions (Front: L C R, Side: L R, Back: L R, LFE), strip whatever's before the colon, count number of words in the string (3,2,2,1) with the last one being the Low Frequency Effects.
