Hello MOC staff/devs!!!

For some time i have noticed "WAV Files" doesn't show kbp/s numbers below window.
Only on WAV format have see something like this missing.

FLAC, APE, MP3... are showing normally.

here it is

I do not mind posting, simply a cosmetic issue but can you check a ".wav" files please?

Wav is the industry standard for uncompressed lossless audio. Yes 1,411kbps is the raw bit rate for a audio CD. All audio CDs that you will burn will come out as 1411kbps music files. A Wav file will fluctuate in size depending on the source material you are encoding. For example, (without getting into to much detail) an audio CD like what you buy in the stores, all have a maximum resolution of 16-bit 44,100HZ. Doing the math, when that is encoded into Wav it will give you a bit rate of 1,411kbps. But if I we're to rip audio of off of a DVD which has a resolution of 16-bit at a slightly higher sample rate of 48,000HZ I would get a Wav file that is abut 1,560kbps (Give or take) So It just depends on the native audio resolution of your source material.

Hi riesebie,
Thanks for explanation and clarification of some things, in fact, a part of your message is known to me. Those wav from the image ^above are made rip from SACD DVD

Originally they were up to 5000 kbps, I converted to WAV with foobar2000 , after converting they dropped to 2822kbp/s with output 32-bit selected. So, now i have them on 2822kbp/s as .wav

I know some PCM WAV shown as 1436kbp/s usually from DVD's some other like you said 1411kbps. Apparently WAV shown different to the manner how it is done the converting, 1411 is standart from what i know.

Wish MOC to read all possibility of WAV kbps even if is static/standard or converted by user.

I remember some other audio player can show those wav kbps... MOC is my main favorite audio player, I would use even if stay empty that part of info.

It should not be difficult to correct it for PCM files at least with sndfile decoder. I'll try to prepare a patch. However, what you probably rather want is a possibility to see details about sound format (sampling rate, bit depth, ...)

Let me also add that the term "SACD DVD" is very confusing, as SACDs are not DVD disks, unlike DVD-A. Did something change and SACDs became rippable, or are you refering just to an re-recording of a SACD via analog connection? In any case, storing the result in 32-bit file offers no benefit over 16-bits, see e.g. http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html

That's only half of the story as .wav allows also compressed audio (even mp3), thus doing the math won't always help. See for example wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#WAV_file_audio_coding_formats_compared

The MOC decoder plug-ins use the values they get from the applicable library to calculate the kbps value (amongst others). But unfortunately in some cases the library returns garbage in those values. MOC detects this as best it's able and, rather than perpetuating GIGO, simply blanks what would be an otherwise meaningless value.

For the FFmpeg/LibAV library, breakages occur for the WAV format (amongst others) so I suspect this is the cause of your problem. MOC's doing its best, but, short of just guessing, it can't do more than that.

(Those interested in the exact details can look at is_timing_broken() in the FFmpeg decoder.)

As a circumvention, you could try the sndfile decoder (if you have it installed) for WAV files via the MOC PreferredDecoders configuration option (if you've changed it from the default).

(Some of that assumes you are using the FFmpeg decoder for WAV files, of course.)

Hi jcf,
I use more or less in default settings with very few changes, here's the config i'm using:

# This is a configuration file for the MOC player. It should be named<br /> # 'config' and placed in the ~/.moc directory. As this file can specify<br /> # commands which invoke other applications, MOC will refuse to start if it<br /> # is not owned by either root or the current user, or if it is writable by<br /> # anyone other than its owner. All options are given with their default<br /> # values, and therefore commented.</p> <p># Comments begin with '#'.<br /> # You can use quotes and escape ('\') in parameters.<br /> #<br /> # You can have variable values substituted by enclosing the variable name<br /> # as "${...}". (This only applies to the portion of the option following<br /> # the ' ='.) Variables are substituted first from the environment then,<br /> # if not found, from the configuration options. (Note that the value of<br /> # a configuration option substituted is that which it has at the time the<br /> # substitution variable is encountered.) If there is a naming conflict<br /> # between an environment and configuration variable, you may be able to<br /> # resolve it by using lowercase as the environment variable matches are<br /> # case-sensitive whereas the configuration variables are not.<br /> #<br /> # You can also use the form "${...:-...}" where the value in the second<br /> # position will be substituted if the variable name given in the first<br /> # position is unset or null.<br /> #<br /> # So, for example:<br /> #<br /> # MusicDir = /music/${USER:-public}<br /> # Fastdir1 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rock<br /> # Fastdir2 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/electronic<br /> # Fastdir3 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rap<br /> # Fastdir4 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/etc<br /> #<br /> # Variable names are limited to those accepted by the BASH shell; that<br /> # is, those comprising the upper- and lowercase ASCII characters, digits<br /> # and the underscore.<br /> #<br /> # If you need to use the "${" sequence for any other purpose, write "$${"<br /> # and it will be replaced by "${" and not treated as a substitution.<br /> #<br /> # Some options take lists of strings as their values. The strings are<br /> # separated by colons. Additional strings can be appended to the list<br /> # using "+ =" in place of a plain "=" to assign the value. For an example,<br /> # see the XTerms option.<br /> #<br /> # You can override any configuration option when you run MOC using the<br /> # '-O' command line option:<br /> #<br /> # mocp -O AutoNext =no -O messagelingertime=1 -O XTerms+=xxt:xwt<br /> #<br /> # This command line option can be repeated as many times as needed and<br /> # the configuration option name is not case sensitive. (Note that MOC<br /> # does not perform variable substitution on the value of such overridden<br /> # configuration options.) Most option values are set before the<br /> # configuration file is processed (which allows the new values to be<br /> # picked up by substitutions), however list-valued options are overridden<br /> # afterwards (which gives the choice of whether the configured values are<br /> # replaced or added to).</p> <p># Remember that the client and server are separate processes and the<br /> # server will retain the configuration values formed from the environment<br /> # within which it was originally started.</p> <p># Show file titles (title, author, album) instead of file names?<br /> ReadTags = no</p> <p># In which directory do you store your music files?

Tried to active these ones, but i did not notice difference.
#PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile,*,ffmpeg)<br /> PreferredDecoders += wv(wavpack,*,ffmpeg)<br /> PreferredDecoders += audio/wav(sndfile,*)

Please tell me what can i do under this configuration concretely.

Thank you for your message, and your support.

Kindly regards,

This line says you should be using the sndfile decoder (if you have it installed) first by default:

<br /> PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile,*,ffmpeg)<br />

(Explicitly configuring the commented defaults doesn't achieve anything.)

Do you have it sndfile (which sndfile-info)? If so, do you have the MOC sndfile decoder installed (in whichever directory your particular distribution installs MOC plug-ins)?

PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile)

'ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/moc/decoder_plugins/libsndfile_decoder.so| grep libsnd'
libsndfile.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 (0x00007ff6c12dc000)

The bitrate isn't shown.

JCF must have been a bit sleepy while recommending the use of sndfile decoder to solve the issue ;)

static int sndfile_get_bitrate (void *unused ATTR_UNUSED)
{
return -1;
}

I don't see any way to get bitrate via libsndfile (unless I'm also missing something): http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/api.html However it could be possible to do the calculation at least for PCM .wav files. In the similar way, sndfile decoder should also try to better fit output sample format to the file contents - now it just converts everything to float.

You'd be surprised how close to the mark that is.

No haven't installed sndfile, i'm just using default moc from Debian stable with plain minimal config.

Also no plugin have installed. Thanks for clarification, then is not it required to activate that settings since sndfile is not installed.
