Is it possible with liquidsoap to get the samplerate, bitrate and codec of a stream ?

Hello,

I think it's possible to recover the samplerate, bitrate and codec of an input stream.
I've looked in the documentation and I've only found one way to get the samplerate here, but I don't really know how to use it and if it corresponds to what I want.

Thanks in advance

Hi @EliXorZz,
These functions probably don't exist in the liquidsoap language yet. If you really want them as part of the language, please write a feature request.
Alternatively, you could use an external tool like ffprobe to extract the necessary data.

Hi all. @vitoyucepi is correct, we don't have inspection capacity as of now. It could be possible using the ffmpeg binding but, in general, you can also use ffprobe which is better designed for it. It has a json output that is machine-readable too, we use it in our internal testing.
