| Summary | 0000809: WMA9 Playback Support | ||||
| Description | Since many of the downloadable music stores are using WMA9, we'll need to support it in MM 2.3. http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=655 http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=946 Note: Playback support implies playback + other activities that rely on playback such as Volume Analysis. The implementation should also be unicode compatible (filename) and backwards-compatible to earlier WMA formats. | ||||

Need to investigate licensing requirements: I just found out that Microsoft wants even some fee for WM9 encoding/decoding! There's a page http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/licensing/licensing.aspx about this, but there's also a number of related pages. I haven't read it completely, I think it's better for you to do so. As for the request for DRM license I mentioned, it's at http://wmlicense.smdisp.net/licenserequest/ |

Here are the relevant URLs we'll need: Standard WM9 Format SDK: http://wmlicense.smdisp.net/EI0U439/91aC29746/download.asp WM9 Encoding SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=000a16f5-d62b-4303-bb22-f0c0861be25b&DisplayLang=en Licenses that are required/have been submitted: 1) Acceptance of Eula for Standard WM9 Format SDK: I'll review this 2) Acceptance of Eula for WM9 Encoding SDK: I'll review this 3) DRM Client certificate agreement 4) DRM Transfer certificate agreement 5) WM Encoder 9s distribution agreement |

|
Note: We have the plugin from Ianier. It should be added to the next build. |
|
|
According to Jiri, the current plugin supports WMA 9 correctly. Need to verify this. |
|
|
I just tested encoding wma tracks w/o copy protection on WMP 10. MM can't scan or play such tracks at all!! Tested with 3 WMA encoding formats: -WMA (plain) -WMA vbr -WMA lossless I'd like to test with Ianier's plugin and see if it fixes this issue; can you include his plugin in the next build? |
|
|
Note: I also tested the plugin that we received from Ianier and it doesn't seem to play WMP10 encoded files either! (although it does scan WMA(plain) tracks). |
|
|
More Importantly: I tested in MM 2.2.2 and these files (plain and VBR) DO play properly in it. It seems that this is a regression. |
|
|
Note: the new version of wmafunct.dll that you posted at: http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2768 seems to resolve the problem. |
|
|
Ok, so does everything work now? |
|
|
It will work once you integrate the new version of wmafunct.dll into the build (build 808 only work after I copied in the file that you posted). |
|
|
Fixed in build 809. |
|
|
Verified in 809. |
