Hi all, First off I should warn you that I'm fairly new to liquidsoap ;)
Anyways, my channel consists of a simple playlist getting output as a output.shoutcast.lame stream. Everything works fine as long as the input media is not m4a. I'm running the current standard 0.9.2-1 package (Ubuntu Lucid) and I'm having trouble decoding m4a media. faad and mplayer are both installed on my box and "faad -i /path/to/media" seems to give reasonable results for all of my m4a media. At first, decoding m4a wouldn't work at all and I got the following errors: 2010/04/13 00:28:23 [format.mp3:2] Mime type for test.m4a is not valid: video/mp4 2010/04/13 00:28:23 [decoder:3] Unable to decode "test.m4a"! Then I decided to use enable_mplayer() and the result was somewhat better: Decoding was now possible but still no metadata. The following is logged: 2010/04/13 12:58:40 [format.mp3:2] Mime type for test.m4a is not valid: video/mp4 2010/04/13 12:58:41 [decoder:3] Decoder MPLAYER chosen for "test.m4a". I've searched the mail archive and saw some posts regarding AAC metadata issues but all of the workarounds seem to involve messing around with the sources and/or compiling from the SVN trunk, which is what I would like to avoid at this point. Any idea why I can't decode m4a without enabling mplayer? Also, is there a simple solution to the metadata problem that doesn't involve compiling the sources? Any input is greatly appreciated.
