| Summary | 0013588: Some M4A files are not playable | ||||
| Description | User has sent us some correct 96KHz M4A file, which is not playable natively by MM, but WMP plays it, so it probably should be playable by in_mfaudio plugin. F_aac_codec can play this file, it can be played by QuickTime too, so keep this in mind during testing. | ||||

The problem is in the file sample rate - it is 96KHz. But Media Foundation used by in_mfaudio plugin supports only up to 48KHz (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd742784(v=vs.85).aspx ). WMP plays it using Direct Show filters. But it seems, we cannot use our Direct Show plugin, it fails to open the file too (unsupported format, not sure why, probably interfaces we use do not support it). The simplest solution is to use our codec pack - f_aac_codec can decode 96KHz AAC files. Or install QuickTime. |

Note: in this case, MMW directs the user to http://www.mediamonkey.com/MissingCodec.php?q=ADAAC which forwards to http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/quicktime/ We may want to change this in the future and link to the codec pack instead. |
