How to show "codec info" during playback?

[drdrcrane]

Hi, great app sofar, works well. Awaiting the iOS Version...

In Kodi i can use the shortcut "o" to display codec info and see which bitrate is used, can i do the same with mrmc?

Thanks 4 ur help.

No, there is no 'o' on the siri remote

use json if there is an urge to show codec info

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ShowCodec","id":1}' http://192.168.2.94:8080/jsonrpc

Enable webserver to turn on json handling.

Wow that was fast, thanks it works like you advertised it.

Would be great if you could incorporated an entry in vide playback menu for this function.

Nah, we will not be doing that, most users want to watch the video and could care less about buffers, bit-rates and codecs. For those that really, really need to see this info, there is json. I think the official Kodi iOS remote can also pop this up.

Ah ok, i give that a try too.

Ur right mrmc is more about usability and just works kinda concept and that makes sense.

I was just trying to check the bitrate coming from my nextpvr recording.

Really like it sofar, also the Navigation has much improved for the update.
Hope you keep tuning it to match it as close as possible to apps like netflix.

Is there a way to customize the remote? I like to have subtitles slower/faster directly handy without using the menu...
