Media file showing {channels} as 13.1 when is shouldn't be

https://we.tl/t-NFpsM81yXl

Above is the first 10seconds of the file for testing.

[rednoah]

ChannelPositions/String2 indicates a 13.1 stream:

Code: Select all

ChannelPositions/String2	12/1/0.1

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4285


{af} yields 2ch in this case, because:

Code: Select all

Channel(s)	2

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but if it's a MediaInfo bug, then you can make a bug report with your file sample with the MediaInfo developers as well, as only they can fix the problem at the source:

EDIT:

Note that embedded metadata title field says 14ch as well, so if it's really just 2ch, then their automated tooling got it wrong as well, because probably using libmediainfo as well:

Code: Select all

Title	Once Upon a Time in America (1984) 720p BRRip AAC 2 14 14ch x264_YIFY

That was old info when I changed the metadata.

I'm now starting to wonder if it's best to use the {af} binding now on it's own and dumbing down my complex audio routine:

[kim]

To be clear, it was a "MediaInfo bug" that was fixed in version 19.04

[rednoah]

In that case, the latest beta might work better, since 19.04 is now bundled:
https://get.filebot.net/filebot/BETA/

[stephen147]

Thanks Kim and rednoah.

I'm using the app from Mircosoft Store. I can wait for that release as Betas are not on there.

Maybe, would it be possible to have the beta on the store?

[rednoah]

Unfortunately, the Microsoft Store doesn't support having stable / beta release up at the same time.

[stephen147]

Unfortunately, the Microsoft Store doesn't support having stable / beta release up at the same time.

I just saw there are stupid facebook and facebook beta on there

Just to confirm the latest Beta has fixed this issue like @kim has said. It's now returning:
