Bug ID: 512323
Summary: Elisa unable to play certain m4a files
Classification: Applications
Product: Elisa
Version First 25.08.3
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Elisa fails to play certain m4a files. VLC and mpv can play it properly, as can
Firefox in the browser.
The m4a files were downloads from bilibili.com using yt-dlp, with extra
modifications made to the tag metadata using MusicBrainz Picard.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download the audio file from
https://files[.]williewillus[.]net/adhoc/gouzhiqishi_cantonese.m4a (too large
for bugzilla attachments)
2. Put it somewhere under the music directory
3. Rescan the library
OBSERVED RESULT
The tracks do not appear in the library. Navigating to the Files pane and
trying to manually play the file there results in a dummy entry with a
strikeout glyph being added to the playlist and nothing actually playing.
The log outputs this when the folder containing the file is loaded and when the
file is played, respectively:
TagLib: Vorbis::File::read() - Could not find the Vorbis comment header.
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/elisa/qml/DataGridView.qml:98: Error: Cannot assign to
non-existent property "currentIndex"
EXPECTED RESULT
The file is properly recognized and added to the library, and Elisa can play it
properly.
