I can confirm MP4s were gone without this patch, and have returned with this patch, but I used to (can't remember how long ago) be able to play MP4s with video (obviously with only the audio being played) in MPD, which this patch doesn't restore. It's not a huge deal, but if anyone wants to track the issue down, I would greatly appreciate it. :) I'd still wholeheartedly recommend this patch going in though; I haven't had any issues with it so far, and having any kind of MP4 support at all is far better than none. -- Bryan
