I'm running LMS 7.9.2 on a Linux server and squeezelite on a number of Linux clients (Raspberries and Intel). I see the phenomenon that some of my m4a files play without problem while others don't.
Here's the mediainfo for a file that works: Code: -------------------- General Complete name : Austin Lucas/The Common Cold/01 Dead Factories.m4a Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Apple audio with iTunes info Codec ID : M4A (M4A /mp42/isom) File size : 3.85 MiB Duration : 2 min 44 s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 196 kb/s Album : The Common Cold Track name : Dead Factories Track name/Position : 1 Track name/Total : 9 Performer : Austin Lucas Performer/Sorted by : Lucas, Austin Genre : Country Encoded date : UTC 2008-06-10 23:55:55 Tagged date : UTC 2013-02-02 17:16:40 Writing application : iTunes v7.6.2, QuickTime 7.4.5 Cover : Yes Audio ID : 1 Format : AAC LC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity Codec ID : mp4a-40-2 Duration : 2 min 44 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 192 kb/s Maximum bit rate : 257 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R Sampling rate : 44.1 kHz Frame rate : 43.066 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 3.79 MiB (98%) Encoded date : UTC 2008-06-10 23:55:55 Tagged date : UTC 2013-02-02 17:16:40 -------------------- and here for one that doesn't: Code: -------------------- General Complete name : Jayme Stone/Jayme Stone's Lomax Project/01 Lazy John.m4a Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media / Version 1 Codec ID : mp41 (mp41/isom) File size : 7.22 MiB Duration : 3 min 1 s Overall bit rate mode : Constant Overall bit rate : 334 kb/s Album : Jayme Stone's Lomax Project Track name : Lazy John Track name/Position : 1 Performer : Jayme Stone Encoded date : UTC 2014-12-24 16:16:01 Tagged date : UTC 2015-09-27 19:27:04 Cover : Yes Audio ID : 1 Format : AAC LC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity Codec ID : mp4a-40-2 Duration : 3 min 1 s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 320 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel layout : L R Sampling rate : 44.1 kHz Frame rate : 43.066 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 6.92 MiB (96%) Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2014-12-24 16:16:01 Tagged date : UTC 2015-09-27 19:27:04 -------------------- Upon trying to play back the latter, I get the following entry in the server log: Code: -------------------- [19-02-07 11:49:33.2965] Slim::Player::Squeezebox2::statHandler (150) Error: 84:2b:2b:ad:e2:30: Decoder does not support file format, code 0 -------------------- And the following in squeezelite's log: Code: -------------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Logitech Media Server (7.9.2 - 1548942599) Connection: close Content-Type: audio/aac [13:16:10.178956] sendRESP:202 RESP [13:16:10.581453] read_mp4_header:294 type: ftyp len: 24 consume: 24 [13:16:10.581532] read_mp4_header:235 type: mdat len: 7256342 pos: 32 [13:16:10.581555] faad_decode:372 samplerate: 44100 channels: 2 [13:16:10.581574] faad_decode:377 setting track_start [13:16:10.581600] faad_decode:414 error: 32 Bitstream value not allowed by specification [13:16:10.581621] faad_decode:453 unable to decode further [13:16:10.581640] decode_thread:99 decode error [13:16:10.581693] sendSTAT:171 STAT: STMn -------------------- I assume the faad_decode error is the problem but doing a websearch for it didn't turn up any useful information. There's no DRM involved and VLC e.g. is able to play the file without problems. Any ideas anyone? Thank you very much in advance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Manul's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110150 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
