streamdetails for music
#1
Hello

Is it possible to retrieve streamdetails when playing music?

I have tried it with 'Player.GetItem' and properties 'streamdetails' and playerid = 0
The fields streamdetails are always empty. No matter if i play a file from the library or a file not scraped into the library.
If i play a video file, i get my fields.

So why is this always empty?

What about the search function ?

Good luck with that thread... It was mine! There are simply too many inconsistencies in how KODI works between various formats, then it appears there is no way of knowing what aspect ratio a bluray iso is currently playing at (since all possible video streams are listed for things like trailers, bonus features, main film, etc..).

To make matters worse, it appears things work for mp3's, but not for flac files (I get it about KODI not being for audiophiles, but some of us want stream details for our multichannel and stereo flac and DSD files).

I don't think any of this is the JSON developers fault. I think it's due to how the player behaves.

I'm revisiting this today so I can finish my KODI module, but I don't have much hope in using this feature and won't implement it unless it's consistent across ALL media types.
