Low Audio Quality #1294
Comments
Could the low quality be related with logging into one's YouTube Music account? Because after logging out the quality is no longer low. Weird? |
Actually nevermind, it's low even without logging in now |
InnerTune gets the highest quality possible if you set quality to high. The highest quality is determined by YouTube. Can you provide information about the quality difference between InnerTune and ViMusic? |
You are able to hear it, it sounds murky compared to ViMusic. The YouTube API might be checking for user agents or anything that signals that the client is not authentic and if it isn't, it might be serving lower quality music to them (only sometimes, for some reason). This doesn't happen with ViMusic, could you check what it does differently (compared to InnerTune) which lets it get the highest quality music all the time? |
Statistically, InnerTune and ViMusic can both get 140~150kbps quality. Methodologically, InnerTune and ViMusic use a very similar method. You may need to provide more information, thanks. |
is there any option like "statistics for interested" so that you can see what quality actually is playing? |
In the player screen, click "..." at the bottom, and click "Details". |
I don't think I've ever had a problem with the quality, my only thought is yours could be on auto? |
nope, just checked and it is on High. I also have Audio Normalization enabled, but that shouldn't affect anything should it? |
Not sure. |
Hmm, I think I've figured it out. Something is persisting that makes InnerTune fetch low quality audio when you listen to a song on auto/low quality, then switch to high. Clearing the audio cache doesn't fix this, which is the problem here. @z-huang could you look into this? Should be an easy fix. |
i have the same issue... after trying to log in to youtube music... it was working perfectly fine, but then as soon as i logged in, some songs are fetched in lower bit-rate |
Checklist
Steps to reproduce the bug
Listen to any song in InnerTune and then on ViMusic and notice the quality difference.
Expected behavior
Better Quality music.
Actual behavior
Low and murky quality music.
InnerTune version
0.5.3
Android version
12
Additional information
Even when the Audio Quality setting is set to High, InnerTune still fetches murky audio. I have tried the same song in ViMusic, and there it is definitely higher quality. Maybe the YouTube Music API is giving InnerTune low quality music because of a user agent or any identifiable information?
This could be fixed by copying the ViMusic downloader implementation over with minimal changes. Hopefully then audio quality will be better for High Quality mode.
