problem importing m4a files into rhythmbox
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When I try to import any m4a files I have into rhythmbox, I get this error message about 5 or 6 times for each song: ERROR (1086121308:087296) qtdemux( 2657) qtdemux.c(1262):qtdemux_type_get: unknown QuickTime node type covr Running "gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=music/Norah\ Jones/Feels\ Like\ Home/Sunrise.m4a ! spider ! osssink" generates the same errors; howver, after about 3 minutes (it seemed shorter than the acutal length of the song, though), it then came up with: Execution ended after 8652 iterations (sum 200334052000 ns, average 23154652 ns, min 117000 ns, max 415322000 ns).
Those are not errors; the song will be imported just fine (unless you're missing the faad decoder). If not, then this is a Rhythmbox bug, not a GStreamer bug, I think.
Or, rather, let's be somewhat more clear on that: they're errors, but not fatal errors. So processing will just continue.
Could you attach the media file?
The problem cleared up after I installed gnome-media and ran gstreamer-properties. I just had it set up wrong is all; sorry about that.
don't see how that would fix stuff, but if it works for you :) closing
