💖 MP4GetTrackBitRate — the girlies' guide to the MP4(3) manual page 🎀

okay so bestie, you're in the MP4 File Format Library section of the manual (that's the MP4(3) part, she's iconic, she's home) and you wanna know how fast a track is streaming its bits at you. say less. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

MP4GetTrackBitRate — get the average bit rate, in bits per second, of the track you picked. that's it. that's the whole job. 🦋

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <mp4.h>

u_int32_t MP4GetTrackBitRate(
     MP4FileHandle hFile,
     MP4TrackId trackId
)

copy it exactly like that, no cap, don't be out here free-styling the signature. 🙈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hFile — the mp4 file you're doing the operation on. the file in question, the main character. 👑
  • trackId — the track whose bit rate you're dying to know. the one you want the numbers for. 🍓

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • if it works — you get the average bit rate of that track, in bits per second. slay. 🔥
  • if it doesn't — you get 0. yeah. zero. the vibe check failed. 😭

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

MP4GetTrackBitRate</purl> returns the average bit rate, in bits per second, of the specified track inside the mp4 file. that's the tea. ☕

✨ little note bestie: hint tracks will not return their bit rate via this mechanism. so don't come for me when you get nothing back from a hint track — she doesn't play that game. 🧚
