Panic when calling loudness_range

[overdrivenpotato]

Hello, thanks for making this library :-)

There seems to be a bug when calling loudness_range that occasionally triggers a panic. I've attached a stack trace with the relevant calls below. I've tried unsuccessfully to build a repro case but in my application the error is somewhat rare. Even with the same input data every time, it will fail spuriously about 1% of the time. For some context, I'm testing with a ~40 second 96kHz stereo clip buffered in as f32 samples.

panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', /Users/marko/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/ebur128-0.1.5/src/history.rs:433:67

[sdroege]

Thanks for reporting this. The problem is in

    combined.sort_unstable_by(|a, b| a.partial_cmp(b).unwrap());

Apparently the history contains NaNs sometimes? Can you provide a testcase for this, even if it only triggers rarely?

[sdroege]

@overdrivenpotato Any updates here?

[overdrivenpotato]

I've shifted off that particular project but for some added context:

This was triggered by feeding a simple non-NaN 96kHz FLAC input into FFMPEG, which was then decoded, resampled to 96kHz (same rate, no-op?), and then fed into ebur128. I would imagine the data coming out of the FFMPEG FLAC decoder/resampler is constant as the FLAC input was always identical, and the sample rate was always the same between I/O. The spurious nature of the panic is puzzling.

[sdroege]

Indeed. If you can somehow produce a testcase for this, even if it only triggers the problem sometimes, that would be really great. I don't see how any of these values can end up as NaN so without a testcase there's not much I can do.

Would that be possible for you? Otherwise I guess we can close this issue until someone can reproduce it :)

Hello, think i've run into same or a simliar problem and can reproduce it with:

    #[test]
    fn loudness_range_panic() {
        // at least this many samples are needed to trigger panic
        let mut data = vec![0.0f32; 44_100*80];
        for out in data.chunks_exact_mut(2) {
            out[0] = f32::INFINITY;
            out[1] = f32::NEG_INFINITY;
        }

        let mut ebu = EbuR128::new(2, 44_100, Mode::I | Mode::TRUE_PEAK | Mode::LRA,).unwrap();
        ebu.add_frames_f32(&data).unwrap();

        assert_float_eq!(
            ebu.loudness_range().unwrap(),
            0.0,
            abs <= 0.000001
        );
    }

Panic:

note: Some details are omitted, run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` for a verbose backtrace.

The file that triggers this for me is a wav file with fmt audio format 3 (32 bit little endian float PCM) filled with only left / right samples that are the bytes 00 00 80 7f / 00 00 80 ff which seems to be Inf / -Inf.

[sdroege]

Thanks for the testcase, I'll look into this :)

[sdroege]

This is fixed in https://github.com/sdroege/ebur128/pull/55

[wader]

🥳

[sdroege]

This is fixed in 0.1.9. Sorry for the delay!

[wader]

No worries at all and btw thanks for a creating and maintaining this create!
