Not metadata but index into audio data. AAC audio is split up into "frames" - player needs to know the start of a frame in order to play audio - index tell player where to find the start of each frame. When creating an audio file in a single pass it is easy to put index at end of file as it is only available when compressed audio has been created. To put index at start of file requires a 2nd pass. The "offending" files can be easily fixed using ffmpeg and the "movflags faststart" option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 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
