Is m4b a universal extension? You use xine correct? yes, it's using the xine engine. I believe m4b is a universal extension.. any books you buy through itunes or other ipod related sites will download as .m4b files, even though they are just .m4a files... Okay, so I do have a patch for xine to fix this problem, I added it in portage in 1.1.2_pre20060328-r7 for testing. I also submitted it upstream, and I'm discussing with Mike Melanson how to handle this. If protected audiobooks bought via iTunes are using m4p extension, then we're fine. If they are using m4b, it might be difficult for xine to get a softfail when trying to play protected files. This is something which has to be fixed in the engine, i.e. xine. However, to my knowledge, itms sells encrypted audiobooks with the m4b extension, thus xine should be able to deal with protected content. Actually, this is fixed already in xine-lib CVS HEAD (will be 1.1.3). |
