Without an example file, it is a bit hard to reproduce. Could you answer the following questions: - M4A files can be parsed by both TagLib and mp4v2, what metadata plugins are enabled in your settings? Does it happen with both? Note that you have to restart Kid3 after changing plugin settings. If the "Mp4v2Metadata" plugin is not listed, it is because libmp4v2 is not provided by your distro and you could try the binary kid3-3.9.4-Linux.tgz from https://kid3.kde.org/#download. - Could it be that this is the same situation as in https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kid3/-/issues/566? Could you compare the output of `file` with those in that report? (In reply to Urs Fleisch from comment #1) > Without an example file, it is a bit hard to reproduce.

I am using TagLib and Mp4v2Metadata isn't available, but I am using kid3 from the PPA. > - Could it be that this is the same situation as in > https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/kid3/-/issues/566? Could you compare the > output of `file` with those in that report? It could be as I've been using SoundKreator to rip the CDs, but in this case I found a copy of the file on another drive and that's fine. I do have some other files that are unreadable, but the smallest is 4.2M. Could you try with Kid3 3.9.5 Linux Binary (not from PPA), which is build with TagLib 2.0, which is a bit more forgiving with M4A files? Could you try with Kid3 3.9.6? (In reply to Urs Fleisch from comment #4) > Could you try with Kid3 3.9.6? I think the issue was a corrupt m4a file. I came across more files that wouldn't load or even play in certain applications. After processing them in ffmpeg I was able to load them into kid3. |
SUMMARY I've viewed an album in mp4 format in Kid3 and it says that some tracks have no tags even though they are visible when using ffmpeg. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open directory in Kid3 2. See that some tracks say "No Tag" 3. Run ffmpeg -i and see that the tags are visible. ffmpeg -i 03Look\ What\ You\ Dun.m4a ffmpeg version 6.0-0ubuntu1~22.04.sav3 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x55ac5e1ca6c0] stream 0, timescale not set Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '03Look What You Dun.m4a': Metadata: major_brand : M4A minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2 album_artist : Slade disc : 1 track : 3/20 artist : Slade album : The Very Best Of Slade date : 2005 genre : Glam Rock title : Look What You Dun Duration: 00:02:58.82, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 147 kb/s Stream #0:0[0x1](eng): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 141 kb/s (default) Metadata: handler_name : SoundHandler vendor_id : [0][0][0][0] Stream #0:1[0x0]: Video: mjpeg (Baseline), yuvj444p(pc, bt470bg/unknown/unknown), 600x589, 90k tbr, 90k tbn (attached pic) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-84-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
