amarok 1.1.1, will play m4a files if the file exention is changed to mp4. this suggests that adding a definition for m4a into they amarok file opening code somewhere would make it all work. one solution is rename m4a mp4 *.m4a but that is no good on read only media (all my old itunes library is on dvd) is it possible that a small edit to the last block of code in taglib/fileref.cpp would make a difference. it seems that this decides what to do with a file based on the last 4 characters of its file name (eg .mp3). a few more definitions would help. assuming that itunes keeps its tags in the same format. Thanks a heap for that. I'll look to fix it soon.

It should be an easy one. xine and gstreamer plays these files, amarok just doesn't recognize them. I'm using a recent amaroK build and taglib 1.2. cybercfo is using amaroK from yesterday and taglib 1.3.1. We experience the same behavior as the reporter. You can download a .m4a file from http://www.filesearch.ru/cgi-bin/s?q=.m4a BTW, this also effects gstreamer engine. Is this more properly classified as a taglib bug? Actually, after more testing, gstreamer cannot play the file even with the extension changed to mp4. I do have gstreamer-faad installed and gstreamer cannot play the file, I tested with gstreamer player. I tracked it down to a xine bug (I think), I submitted it to Xine's bug tracker: http://tinyurl.com/54k3h I must retract my comment about the easy fix. Ian found it is a xine bug, not amarok, and he posted a bug report upstream. Now to get the issue resolved with gst. I just recompiled xine-lib with the change I suggested in the bug report to xine, that did fix the issue. This bug can be closed. not related to amarok, closing. |
