Using MP4Box to fix iTunes-downloaded mp4 files

<< < (5/6) > >>

Buschel:
Bockrox, please check again with r27950. Lear, kugel and I did some research and hope to have found the root cause.

saratoga:
Nice find.  That looks like a nasty bug.

Bockrox:
Still no luck with r27956, unfortunately.

There are two interesting things I do notice with this build, however.

If I try to play an album that is made up of "unplayable" m4a tracks (like the one I posted earlier), Rockbox skips every other track. It will start at track 1, immediately skip to track 3, quickly skip to track 5, etc.

The other interesting thing is that Rockbox displays the text "(no id3)" on the WPS of "unplayable" songs.

Weird...

Buschel:
Hmm, is the file you have linked playing, if you move it to another directory that only contains other playable files? Can you provide links to some other files that do not play?

Bockrox:
Putting the song in a directory that contains playable files doesn't have any effect. In fact, it causes Rockbox to skip over one playable file.

For example:

--- Code: ---01 Playable 1.mp3
02 Playable 2.mp3
03 Unplayable.m4a
04 Playable 4.mp3
05 Playable 5.mp3
--- End code ---

If I play "02 Playable 2.mp3" until it finishes, Rockbox then tries to play "03 Unplayable.m4a", fails, and then skips to "05 Playable 5.mp3".

To the earlier question of whether removing the tags makes any difference -- unfortunately, it doesn't seem to. The file I posted in this thread was stripped of all tags to make it less identifiable. This is the same file I have been testing on my iPod.
