Trouble with m4v/aac audio

Postby efc » 24 Jul 2013 17:11

Love the new VLC for iOS and very happy with the quick update which did fix some Dropbox issues I was seeing. However, I still get no audio on many of my Handspring-created files. These are M4V files with AAC (48000 Hz) stereo tracks. If this is a known issue, I'm happy to wait for the fix. Where can I track known issues?

Thanks!

You can find known issues on trac.

Can you upload a small sample file to http://streams.videolan.org/upload and post its name here so we can have a look what's wrong?

OK, I uploaded the file "ohio.m4v" to the http://streams.videolan.org/upload address. I did not create a new trac ticket, though, since doing so expected a bunch of metadata I was uncertain about.

Your sample file includes an A52 audio track. This codec is not supported in some regions. Due to implementations details of the region lock, no audio playback is supported as long as an A52 audio track is present in a given media. This might change in a later release. Sorry about that.
