Description

Please add a feature to obtain the average bitrate of the videos like other players and applications do. For example with MPC-HC, Avidemux and Freemake Video Converter all the three give me exactly the same value of the video track bitrate, it never changes.

Research direction

Locate the current video-track bitrate reporting entry point and trace how its metadata is obtained. Define how average bitrate should be calculated from the issue's comparison with MPC-HC, Avidemux, and Freemake Video Converter, then verify that the exposed value remains consistent for the same video track.
