The number of audio channels in a given mp4 with Mediainfo
0
I am trying to find the number of channels in a given .mp4 file. I run mediainfo, but it shows it as 8! Basically it should either be a 2 channel, or 5.1 showing as 6. And many of my files look like this. I guess many of the channels might be filled with empty data, or something like this.
How can I say if it is really 2 or 5.1 channel? Is there any ways, maybe with other tools to d tetect hat?

Rather than closing this, it would be better to post an answer confirming it's a bug. Not only is that a valid answer, it keeps the question open so that when/if the bug is resolved, anyone can post that as an answer.
