mp4 metadata seems to be broken

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/364574 Binary package hint: banshee banshee's handling of mp4 metadata seems to be broken in some of its behaviour, an example of the use case (and several problems) is below: e.g., 1) turn on file system organization and update when saving metadata 2) import a .mp4 music video containing h264+aac with no metadata set on it 3) play the video and confirm it works fine 4) use `MP4Box -info filename.mp4` on the commandline to check the .mp4 file is valid 5) set the artist and title fields in the metadata editor in banshee and save 5) note that the file has been moved to (for example) ~/Music/Artist/Album (Year)/00 - Title.mp4 6) attempt to play the video and note that banshee cannot play it (it thinks it cannot find it). 7) choose Tools --> Rescan Music Folder 8) note that banshee adds a new entry for the video with no metadata set and '00 - in the title column 9) confirm that the new entry plays back fine whilst the old one still thinks it cannot be found 10) try `MP4Box -v -info 00-title.mp4` on the newly moved file in a command prompt and note that MP4Box segfaults due to corruption in the .mp4 metadata ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: banshee 1.4.3-3ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SourcePackage: banshee Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686
Sounds like a taglib-sharp issue
It sounds like this depends on #575842 which has a patch to improve mp4 handling which does not appear to have been merged in the github repo which appears to be the active upstream. http://github.com/mono/taglib-sharp/
taglib-sharp has moved to Github a while ago. Furthermore, GNOME Bugzilla will be shut down and replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. If the problem reported in this Bugzilla ticket is still valid, please report it to https://github.com/mono/taglib-sharp/issues instead. Thank you! Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping.
