Description Martey Dodoo 2006-04-17 12:31:43 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Banshee refuses to import m4a files or play them from the command line. I
suspect it is not a GStreamer problem, as gst-launch-0.10 is able to play them fine.

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:
When playback of a m4a file is attempted from the command line, Banshee complains:

Could not load: No reader associated with MimeType: audio/mp4

Upon attempted importation:
Cannot Import: /home/martey/music/The Postal Service/Give Up/01 - The District
Sleeps Alone Tonight.m4a
(Entagged.Audioformats.Exceptions.UnsupportedFormatException)

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
I was able to play a m4a file that was "grandfathered" into my library. When I
removed it and tried to re-import it, I received the same error as above.

I have added audio/mp4 as a supported mimetype for that metadata reader. For some reason it was not added already. Can you try importing using Banshee built from CVS/HEAD?

Also, can you run this command and report the output here:

gst-typefind-0.10 "/home/martey/music/The Postal Service/Give Up/01 - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.m4a"

Thanks.

I am happy to report that CVS Banshee imports m4a files wonderfully. gst-typefind returns:

/home/martey/music/The Postal Service/Give Up/01 - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.m4a - audio/x-m4a
