That is exactly what I'm referring to, the updated faad.exe is specifically a Windows issue. The software made assumptions about reading from stdin as a way of detecting '-' on the command line, and those assumptions were only reliably true on unix. On Windows it depended on the content of the AAC stream, and occasionally this would go wrong (one in a couple of hundred was the raw probability as I recall, assuming all byte patterns occur equally often in an AAC stream which probably isn't true). The fix is to actually check for '-' as a parameter rather than relying on strange stdin behaviour (why the code wasn't written that way in the first place is a mystery to me, this is a demonstration of the Keep It Simple principle in action). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
