You still refuse to understand that this format is against any autodetection. Use manual araw module and raw demuxer.No? To which part, the first or the second? To the first part, that would just be plain incorrect. Again, it IS a playable audio file with NO video.
To the second part, well, that mirrors the basic response to others who have posted in these fora about the same general issue. If nothing is going to be done to allow VLC to play perfectly playable (despite claims to the contrary) files, especially a file format that VLC claims to play, via the UI, then VLC really should not be claiming it can play them.
Clearly, at least via the UI, VLC can not play pcm files, the fact that it can play pcm format audio notwithstanding. Again, WAV and AIF are NOT pcm files, so the fact that VLC can play them has no bearing on whether it can play pcm files.
Having read through the responses in the various threads posted by people seeking help or information on similar issues here I guess I should not find the present response surprising.
The issue is not playable or not, the issue is if it should be automatically playable or not. Those play absolutely fine in VLC if you set the right parameters.I am not refusing to understand. I understand just fine, including the fact that these files are, contrary to the comments above, playable audio files, and do not contain video, regardless of the output in the Messages window.
Of course not. There is nothing in this file that tells you it is a PCM file. Absolutely nothing, no header, no magic number.In that case, hey, why bother to have a GUI at all? Any file VLC can play simply by double clicking could also play via the command line. Without the UI, they too would play absolutely fine. Any argument that can be made for making MPEGs play in the UI can just as easily be made for PCM files.
