VBR bitrate display is enabled in "standard inputs" options.
I use:

CODE

$if2(%__bitrate_dynamic%,%__bitrate%)

With MPC files, realtime VBR bitrate is diplayed correctly, i.e. upadted every 16 frames.
But with MP3 files, only average bitrate is displayed, though [%__extrainfo%] does show "VBR" (and indeed [%__bitrate_dynamic%] shows no info).
Any idea? May the problem come from the tag types or something else?
foobar2000 v0.7.2 + W2k SP4.

erm ..

realtime updating of VBR mp3's works fine for me

that's coming from my titlebar.

CODE

'('$if(%artist%,$caps2(%artist%),$caps2($replace(%_directoryname%,_, )))') '$if(%album%,$caps2(%album%)' // '$if(%tracknumber%,'Track '%tracknumber%' - ',),)$if(%title%,$caps2(%title%),$caps2($replace(%_filename%,_, )))' @ '%__bitrate_dynamic%'kbps'' [ '[%_time_elapsed%]'/'[%_time_total%]' ]'' :: '%_foobar2000_version%

I think it comes from the tag.
this works for me: $puts(text_bitrate,[$num($if2(%__bitrate_dynamic%,%__bitrate%),3)'kbps'])

but i don't think you should use $if tag. there is no reason. there is no notifiable change. or is there?

I tried that plain title formatting for the status bar:

CODE

$puts(text_bitrate,[$num($if2(%__bitrate_dynamic%,%__bitrate%),3)'kbps'])
$get(text_bitrate)

As I expected, nothing changed: correct display of instant bitrate for mpc's and still only track average bitrate display for VBR mp3's...

By the way, which version of foobar2000 do you use? I didn't notice this "problem" with the beta releases and am not sure when it began...
Anyway, I'm going to investigate. There possibly is something wrong with my mp3 files.

Well, I found the "guilty" component.
Afer I removed the Nero encoder/decoder v0.3 (foo_nero.dll) from the components folder, everything went right again.
I can't give any explanation but hope that information can somehow be useful.

Okey, good for you

I use 1.7.2 final. It works like a charm

foo_nero.dll steals "mp3" decoding if it is configured to play *.mp3pro.

line 1124 - this shouldn't be partial match! (otherwise "mp3" matches "mp3pro").

CODE

if ( !stricmp_utf8_partial((const char *)tmp, ext) ) {
allowed = true;
break;
}

Thanks Messer. That's the right explanation indeed.

Apparently Case fixed the problem.
