Max. momentary erratic results with EBU test files(?)

[nofishonfriday]

Hello,

first a bit of background:
I'm a contributor to the SWS Extension (Github repo), an extension for the REAPER DAW. which implements offline Loudness scanning using libebur128.

I've scanned the files from the EBU loudness test set with our Loudness scanner and they all pass, except for test set 13.
In tech3341 it specifies for these files:

Max M = −23.0 ±0.1 LUFS, for each segment

However with our current implementation we get the following results:

I'm now trying to determine if there's a bug in our implementation (we use a modified version of libebur128) or if this may be an issue with the library itself.

Thank you.

Huh, this is weird. We have some tests for test set 13, and they run successfully:

libebur128/test/tests.c

Line 367 in c13deee

#define TEST_MAX_MOMENTARY(filename, expected) \

Maybe this helps tracking down the problem.

Ah missed these tests, thanks for pointing me to it.
So the issue must be on our end, that's at least good to know.

Closing this, thanks again.

See

libebur128/test/tests.c

Line 172 in c13deee

/* 10 ms buffer/ 100 Hz refresh rate as 10 Hz refresh rate fails on several tests */

.

The EBU test files for max momentary cannot produce expected result with a 75 % (100 ms) overlap when measuring momentary blocks. In some of the test files, the audio blocks of length 400 ms are offseted to multiple of 50 ms, which means you never get a full 400 ms block of audio measured, therefore an underestimation of the max momentary.

This has to be taken into account when implementing max momentary measure.
