I helped someone in #gtkpod debug this the other day. It seems that the libmp4v2 in F-11 cannot parse most .mp4/.m4a files. I used mp4info on a file that gtkpod failed to read and it failed to read it as well. The same files parse fine with gtkpod and mp4info on F-10. Any ideas what changed in libmp4v2? It seems like a pretty big problem for libmp4v2 to not be able to read mp4 files... I think the problem was due to a bad libmp4v2 build. It might have been built at a time when gcc or some other component of the tree was a bit flaky. There is an updated libmp4v2 available (libmp4v2-1.5.0.1-9.fc11) which fixes this issue. This was apparently reported in bug #507302. I've verified that the update fixes mp4info. I did not test it with gtkpod, but I fully expect it to work. If it does not, please reopen this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 507302 *** |
Created attachment 350349 [details] A file which gtkpod cannot open Description of problem: Gtkpod gives an error when trying to add .m4a files that it previously accepted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.99.14-2.fc11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In gtkpod with an ipod loaded, click 'add files' or 'add folder' 2. Make selection to include .m4a files Actual results: Error dialog opens, with two messages: - Could not open '/path/to/file.m4a' for reading, or file is not an mp4 file. - The following track could not be processed (filetype is known but analysis failed): '/path/to/file.m4a' Expected results: Successfully adding the file to my ipod as it did in the (uncertain but not-too-distant) past. Additional info: The files in question were encoded by iTunes 7 for Mac OS and have worked previously with gtkpod and continue to be playable. A sample can be uploaded if needed
