Hi all, |
2 |
|

A couple of weeks ago xmms stopped recognizing m4a/mp4 files, and instead of |
4 |
playing them it just opened up the file dialogue, as it does with all files |
5 |
it doesn't recognize. Today I finally looked into why this may be happening. |
6 |
|
7 |
Now, as best as I can tell the way to enable this is to install faad2 with the |
8 |
xmms USE flag set, which I did have. Indeed, the needed plugins were |
9 |
in /usr/lib/xmms/Input/ |
10 |
|
11 |
Just for giggles, I re-emerged faad2, as the plugins were dated from before it |
12 |
stopped working, and it updated/rebuilt: |
13 |
|
14 |
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.so |
15 |
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.la |
16 |
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.a |
17 |
|
18 |
However, when looking at the input plugins tab in xmms preferences, they don't |
19 |
even show up. The Flac, Vorbis, cdaudio et al plugins in the same directory |
20 |
do show up. |
21 |
|
22 |
Does anyone have an idea here? Is it a faad2 bug, xmms bug? Am I missing |
23 |
something? |
24 |
|
25 |
Thanks, |
26 |
