Hello,
I hope this is the right thread for this kind of question.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with this?

It's supposed to return VBR or CBR according to %codec_profile% and I am trying this because usually the %extrainfo% isn't there.
BTW which encoder works correctly with %extrainfo%? lame 0.97 beta2 doesn't (with no other parameters), of am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

%extrainfo% is deprecated as of foobar 0.9.4. Don't know what's wrong with the tagz string you posted it works fine here. Maybe try this:

I think you have too many parentheses. Try this:

Thank you both.
@thuan: Cheers, I didn't now that about %extrainfo%
@kockroach: Right, now that's beyond me! It actually works the same with or without the extra parentheses.
I don't know why it didn't before.
I restarted it and without even checking first, I tried your "light" version, it worked and then reverted to mine just to check and it still worked, even though when I posted it didn't.
Sometimes on the "preview" it gets stuck (too many changes?) even after apllying any initial string that was originally there.
Or maybe I shouldn't mix beer with coffee.
Thanks very much.

Hi there,

please help me.
How can I get foobar2000 to show the average bitrate at the status bar?
I tried something stupid like this:
$div(%filesize%,%length_seconds%,128)kbps
128=1024/8 (byte -> Kbit) calculation
It shows 187 on 192 cbr mp3s so there's something wrong.

I'd like to have it shown only if the bitrate is variable.



TIA

edit

You should use $info(bitrate)

It works.

Thanx heaps
