3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_truepeak True Peak Scanner
Last post by Case -@Case, would it be possible to add all features of DR Meter (per-channel DR, RMS and peak) to True Peak Scanner?Not planned. I added that extra info to DR Meter as I thought people using DR Meter liked seeing that stuff, also it might be helpful during development to catch bugs (as DR result is not calculated how its documentation says at all). In a multipurpose scanner like this component the output has to concentrate only on actually useful values.
How does this plugin behave with files containing several streams (like bluray m2ts with more than one version of the album - ex. stereo, instrumental, DTS, AC3, THD...)?It will measure the stream you have chosen. I have never seen any details about this stream variant selection in the SDK, I don't know if input components that do the tagging even have a chance to do things differently depending on the stream. Tools that just ask a tag to be written definitely don't know anything about such deftails nor have any option to do things differently.
I have noticed that your component measures slightly different than buil-it RG scanner concerning True Peaks and Gain. [...] Why is it so and is there a way to make them as similar as possible?Different upsampling. If you let built-in RG scanner select resampler on its own it will ask for a fast resampler, not highest quality one. You will get exact same results if you configure the built-in resampler to resample the same way, but there is not a simple built-in switch for that. True Peak Scanner uses SoX if it's installed and it will be used in highest quality mode. I have written how the upsampling is determined in detail here and about SoX speed related updates here.
