Bitrate Analysis

KLV Streamer can show a bitrate chart for an individual file or for the active playlist.

To display the chart:

  • press the Plot Bitrate button to analyze the playlist
  • or right-click an individual file to inspect only that item

PCR Discontinuity Monitoring​

Transport-stream errors can affect bitrate calculations. One example is a PCR discontinuity indicator error, where the difference between two consecutive PCR values falls outside the valid range or becomes negative.

If the PCR difference becomes negative, KLV Streamer marks that point with a red circle on the chart so it can be investigated quickly.
