Plex Dash reporting Media Details Bitrate of 328kbps whereas WebUI reports 320kbps

[anon5074910]

Any idea why plex dash is reporting a bitrate of 328kbps …

… whereas plex web reports 320kbps for the same media ?

BTW… when the media is playing in plex dash its reported as 320kbps.

If you look at the XML for the track, I assume one is stream, and the other is part or media…

Nothing to worry about And doing a media analyze might make it all match.

Let me check the xml when I’m back at my pc. Analysis should be complete and I also see this for all music media.

Just curious why it’s reported as that

At some point we tweaked the way we compute bitrate to exclude other assorted metadata…

Not seeing anything obvious in the xml. I guess its just a bug with how the bitrate is calculated on the dash app.

Huh that is slightly odd, @aubrey.wodonga might have an opinion.

[aubrey.wodonga]

I don’t think we’ve changed anything around that in Dash recently, though iirc we had a similar issue in Plexamp waaaaay back when. I’ll take a look into it and see what’s going on it’s likely just something stupid and/or obvious.

Edit: the thing that changed is that we didn’t ever show media details for music, so this is a new-ish bug, for sure

Just remove the embedded album art, then re-analyze.

[anon5074910]

I’ve no embedded artwork. I always strip them out and store my artwork as cover.jpg in the same folder as the album.
