| Summary | 0014650: WMA: ID3 written in front to WMA header make WMA unplayable | ||||
| Description | When ID3 is written in front to WMA header it makes WMA unplayable in MMW/MM5. Other apps can just play WMA but can't Tag or even read tags. Can you please investigate that if it is possible to at least make them playable in MMW and error/correction is left for MM5 Sample file is on FTP | ||||

| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Analyzed, there is probably nothing we can do with this. We use WM layer for tags and playback, and Media Foundation for playback, and both fail to work with this file. Probably the only possible way is to implement our own WMA/ASF parser, and this is probably not worth the effort, as ID3 tag is not allowed in WMA/ASF files and destroys the file structure, should be rare situation. |
|
|
Leaving open as a lower priority item to be reviewed. We could try to remove incorrect tags e.g. on failed playback, or possibly as a special tool that's executed manually. |
|
|
Increasing Priority As we have number of user reports of such behavior and also we already used that approach for WAV files. As an test MM5 should/can use Temp .xxxxxx file to try to play it and in case of success overwrite corrupted file. |
|
|
At least playback fixed in build 2229. |
|
|
Playback verified 2229 Reopen if needed for Fixing in 5.1 |
|
|
Reopening, the fix caused regression, where in_mfaudio cannot play some random M4A and WMA files now. |
|
|
Fixed in build 2230. |

Verified 2230 All WMA files that I have play |
