On my Kodi skin, I use the following condition to show the indicator:
(Filetype = flac | Filetype = wav) and (Samplerate > 48 kHz | Samplewidth > 16 bit)

(2021-08-10, 19:51)Buschel Wrote: If I change the condition to something like "(lossless && (bps >= 24 || kHz >= 88))", I need to find a good solution to identify lossless formats. From the Kodi page (Audio_Player) I would select the following: AIFF, WAV/WAVE, ALAC, FLAC, Monkey's Audio (APE), SHN, (WavPack). WavPack is already debatable as this also supports lossy compression.

Maybe the bitrate could be another dirty option to select between lossy and lossless? Something like bitrate > 320? Or are there any lossy formats using, despite of being lossy, more than 320 kbit/s? Highres files almost always have bitrates > 1000…

1. WMA lossless
   
2. True Audio (TTA)
   
3. Shorten (SHN)
   
4. Real Audio Lossless Format (RALF)
   
5. MPEG4 Audio Lossless Coding (MPEG-ALS)
   
6. Meridian Lossless Packaging (MLP)
   
7. Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC)
   
8. Monkey's Audio (APE)
   
9. Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC)

This way files with high bits-per-sample, but samplerate < 44.1 kHz and files with high samplerate but bits-per-sample < 16 are not by fault assumed as HiRes. The following codecs are purely lossless and will be interpreted as lossless:

1. WMA lossless
   
2. True Audio (TTA)
   
3. Shorten (SHN)
   
4. Real Audio Lossless Format (RALF)
   
5. MPEG4 Audio Lossless Coding (MPEG-ALS)

7. Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC)
   
8. Monkey's Audio (APE)
   
9. Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) 
   

To my knowledge the other potentially lossless" codecs are hybrid codecs which are not always lossless.

In addition, I added several audio codec logos the the app. For details look at https://github.com/xbmc/Official-Kodi-Remote-iOS/pull/354. I might add more logos at a later point in time (e.g. ATRAC).

Great work, as always.
What do you think about making the Hi Res Audio logo also monochrome (for consistency) and maybe squeeze it into the same row as the remaining information?

Making the HiRes icon grayscale looks a bit boring. There are even quite some icons which have color, e.g. musepack, flac and DTS codecs. I admit, the position of the logo is not optimal. I could only move this into the same row for iPads. Otherwise there is not enough space for the other icons -- the become really hard to read. In this case I would -- for consistency -- not have a different layout for iPad and iPhone.

On ATRAC logos: Except for Atrac3plus they look pretty decent from the start. For ATRAC3plus I needed to rescale to a reduced width to get it readable. It should be ok now.

Do you really think there are any Atrac or even Atrac3 or even Atrac3plus files somewhere in use, as this was the compression format used by minidisc until 2004!

Release Notes

This release again brings new features (remote position can be set to top/bottom, unified toolbars for iPad/iPhone remote screens, more audio codec icons) and also the next refresh of the UI look & feel (rounded corners for thumbnails -- enabled per default). Also, the conditions to show the HiRes logo for audio material has been refined.

What needs testing:
- Everything around the remote screens. Especially I am looking for tests on iPhone 4S as I could not test on devices with small screens.
- Thumbnails (album, thshow or movie covers, TV station logos, artists or actors). Is there any use case having issues with the rounded edges enabled/disabled?

Maybe you can use similar settings for rounding, they look so much more pleasant in my opinion, as they are much much smaller and obviously not scaled with the image… But it’s just a matter of taste… Pardon my interruption

Thanks for the constructive feedback -- this is why the beta builds exist
Before I implemented the rounded corners I looked at several sites and screenshots of a few apps. In the examples linked below you can also see different corner radius for different screens. Comparing few screenshots the current Kodi Remote App beta uses the largest corner radius.

I can definitely tailor the percentage of the image size dimension which is used as corner radius (currently 10% of the shorter side). This way the corners can be reduced.
