Support of tags on AC3 files
« on: June 28, 2008, 03:21:29 PM »
Hello,
I use AC3 to listen to my live dvds on my rockboxed X5. I tag my AC3 songs with foobar. This adds Apev2 tag to ac3 files.

The problem is that rockbox don't read these tags on AC3 files. So I'm trying to make a patch to make rockbox use this tags.
I'm searching in the source files the way to do it for some hours now.
I've tried to add  read_ape_tags(fd, id3); in /apps/metadata.c. So I have this code :
Code: [Select]
case AFMT_A52:
        if (!get_a52_metadata(fd, id3))
        {
            return false;
        }

read_ape_tags(fd, id3);
        break;
But it don't seems to add the support of the tag.

Could someone help me? I would be very happy because ac3 take much less space than flac files for the same quality for audio extracted from dvd.

It worked fine when I tested it in the UI simulator.

Do you mean that the tags on ac3 are supported natively or is it the modification above that worked?
Cause I've compiled a sim for my X5 with the modification I've described but this don't add the support of tags neither in the datbase nor in the wps.
