lister for .mpa and .rec files

[reide5]

Hello,

Does anybody know of lister addins that work with .mpa and .rec (transport stream from DVB) audio files?

What I would like are column headers for:

* frame rate
* bit rate
* channels

Helpful would also be:

* duration

The .rec might be problematic, since, being a muxed format, may contain several streams such as video.

Best would be if the same headings could also work for .mp3 so as to avoid unnecessary columns.

Looking forward to suggestions / comments....

Regards

If mpa: "Compressed audio file using MPEG Layer I, II or III compression"
Then MMEDIA Plugin:

• Nb of frames
  First Frame at
  Length
  MPEG Type
  Bitrate
  Sample Rate
  Channel Mode
  Emphasis
  CRC protected
  Copyrighted
  Original
  Guess Encoder
  VBR Header
  Lame Tag

If not

For .rec no idea

Thanks, Dott.

I have just tried the MMEDIA plugin and it plays .mp3 files (derived from the .mpa) ok, and showing details. For .mpa themselves (I added the extension to the .ini file), it shows details, but doesn't play them (the files are typically mpeg 1.0 layer 1 or 2).

Concerning the .rec files:

The program, PVAStrumento (a demuxer) reports, for an audio file:
MPEG AUDIO #1
MPEG1, Layer 2
joint stereo, sampled at 48.0 kHz.
Bitrate 160 kbps
Each frame contains 24.0 ms audio (480 bytes)
First PTS: 10:00:13.971
Does this help?

Incidently, I want to get both a lister plugin (to play the files) AND a content plugin (for columns in TC) working for each these formats. So with the plugins MMEDIA and MEDIA, I have the solution for .mp3. But with .mpa and .rec, nothing so far................

Maybe MPlayer4TC ?

Hi, m^2,

I've just tried mplayer4tc, but didn't get very far. Errors like "division by zero" and not being able to stop it from Task Manager..... Maybe it some setting was not right. Thanks anyway.

At least for .mp3 both mmedia and mediashow work nicely. But for .mpa and .rec?.....

Any ideas other anybody?
