Edit:  Defender yes it has option to do RP gain:

Yes. I know :-)

But it has not the option to clear RG values when you choose the truepeak remove context menu option.
Which is the only reason I still need Replaygain context menu and I want to get rid of it.

I do not use the built-in RG scanner at all anymore.
Reason is that it is either less precise (if you do not enable the the true peak scan option in replaygain settings or less efficient/slower.

If you do RG scan with with comparable precision (which actually can only be achieved with truepeak auto 8x) as the standalone truepeak scanner is a lot slower AND you still have to run a separate scan for LRA+DR and clipping positions.

If you are using truepeak scanner, it won't get any slower when you enable RG, LRA, DR or scanning for clipping positions.
I attached my test results.

I can exclude certain types no problem. If you can't wait for the next component release, this file can be saved inside your component folder\samples\js overwriting the exiting file.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jscript-panel/component/main/samples/js/seekbar.js

This works purely on the command line - fb2k components are irrelevant so I'm excluding mkv, m2ts and iso by default. While I couldn't test m2ts, I tested blu rays ripped to mkv and that resulted in huge memory usage (I let it get to 8GB before I aborted via task manager).

@marc2k3,
I have encountered an issue when using your spectrogram seekbar with large bluray files (m2ts). It starts measuring such a file but then it probably runs out of memory and crashes my computer. The resulting file appears in the database but is faulty so the next play displays nothing and the log says that the file is there but it is faulty and does not measure again. If I delete that file it starts to measure again but crashes the laptop and so on....
Doing such measurement with Spek or Spek-X does not crash and is much faster (those also use ffmpeg but can't (as far as I know) be used to generate files that would be visible in your component).
Because I can't properly scan such a file with your component without a crash I also can't check how would it behave after changing the stream of a multi-stream file (such as bluray m2ts with multiple versions of an album). Would it write multiple pictures or the second one would overwrite the previous or changing the stream would not change the measurement at all (what would be measured - always the first stream or the one actually palying?).
Would it be possible to change the destination folder of the resulting pictures to the folders containing the actual audio files?
The component (and also Spek and Spek-X) do not measure SACD-iso at all. I can live with that but I wonder why some other components show results (abviously after making the sacd componet as DSD+PCM) - does it mean those other comonents take the input data from some later part of audio-chain so they see the "fake PCM part" of DSD signal?

I can of course let all my blurays be scanned once with crash and produce faulty files and be left with no graphs but maybe there is a way to make it work or to exclude m2ts files from scanning? (I do not use Library).

Sorry for copy-paste of my post from DR Meter topic but it is related.

@Case, would it be possible to add all features of DR Meter (per-channel DR, RMS and peak) to True Peak Scanner? The output log placed in the folder with actual audio files (as in old component) would also be very much appreciated (I would love to see every measurement in it, including LRA, Clippings and Peakstamps).

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...)? Will it measure the first stream (or which one?) or is it possible to measure all streams (changing the stream with stream-selector and measure them all one by one and getting different results not owerwriting the previous ones)? And if it is possible, how to write such tags with your external tags? In case of SACD-iso we can write an xml containing two sets of tags/measurement (one for stereo and one for 5.1) (I know that those are different, not two streams but separate sets of "audio files").

I have noticed that your component measures slightly different than buil-it RG scanner concerning True Peaks and Gain.  I know that True Peaks are just (gu)esstimation of what would happen in the DAC but tried to manipulate the options in both components and never got exact the same measurements. My RG sacnner always was an 8xupsampling but I tried it with other options (SOX, SRC, 4x..) and yours with 190k and 384k. The results were always slightly different (rarely the differences were quite big, on some mp3 and the differences go both ways - sometimes yours shows less and sometimes more). Why is it so and is there a way to make them as similar as possible?

Would it be possible to make the component scan and produce a tag file for Bluray files? I know that those m2ts files are untaggable but it has been made possible with SACD-iso files by producing xml files that contain tags and are stored in the same folder as corresponding audio file.

foo_external_tags also by Case?


Thank you for suggesting external tag, it works great.

No fast-math, no AVX and there were no changes to the code since last clang version from @JoshuaChang afaik.

I was just unsure, which Clang version did Joshua used for his binary and if there would be a noticeable difference at all, if it was older..
Anyway, thanks for your reply!  

My lastest dev clang build was using clang 18.1.4; gcc build was using gcc 13.2, no additional compile flag.
All other clang builds have mentioned version on their name.
