I've been testing the option -write_xing 0 so that Apple Music properly displays the durations on ffmpeg-generated mp3 files.
I'm aware of the option from this 7-year-old post: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2697 <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/2697> which describes it as a solution to QuickTime displaying TRTs incorrectly. The problem mp3 files I've been testing actually show proper TRTs in QuickTime, but not in Apple Music and ExifTool. The -write_xing 0 option seems to be fixing it. I'm curious what it's actually doing. What was the issue to begin with / what problem is it solving? Is it doing other things to the converted file that might be worth knowing about? Any down sides to using it? _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
