SADIE II - BRIR not loading #133

Closed the-drunk-coder closed 3 years ago

the-drunk-coder commented 4 years ago

I remember there was a problem with some SADIE files in the past (#55), which has been fixed. Now I've been trying another SADIE file, this time a BRIR, and loading fails with code 10004 (MYSOFA_INVALID_ATTRIBUTES).

It's this one: https://www.york.ac.uk/sadie-project/Resources/SADIEIIDatabase/D1/D1_BRIR_SOFA.zip

Not sure if this is because they are MultispeakerBRIR instead of SimpleFreeFieldHRIR.

Are they expected to work in the first place ? Maybe I missed something but I haven't found any hint in the docs that they aren't...

sorry for the late answer. Indeed, libmysofa is only for HRTFs.

the-drunk-coder commented 3 years ago

Just out of interest, is there a reason it wouldn't work with BRIRs ?

I mean, if I change the attribute in the SOFA file to SimpleFreeFieldHRTF it works just fine, and in general I'm using plenty of "roomy" measurements wrapped in SOFA files ...

@the-drunk-coder It should be possible to use the low-level API, e.g. mysofa_load(filename, err); Then, HRTF-related checks and calculations are not done.
