raw tags for mp4 audio read as 0 second

[lachlan-00]

Just referencing an open issue we have. https://github.com/ampache/ampache/issues/3196#issuecomment-1068679902

I'm not sure about the specifics of mp4 audio but the playtime_seconds is being read as 0 in the raw tags

I do still have the reference file if you want to check it out.

I would need to see a sample file, please.

I took a look at your sample file and it seemed to work as expected, playtime_seconds shows 15.34

[lachlan-00]

okay let me dig further then.

Using demo.basic.php and putting the file in the same folder i still get 0 for playtime_seconds. Is there a non-default setting that's needed to return the time?

I also see that quicktime files are only returning the second value in arrays. I can't seem to track down where this is being overwritten in module.audio-video.quicktime.php

edit

i've run with pph 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 as well just to see if there's anything not being read

I think I was sloppy and looked at the wrong sample file :( I concur that it's returning a playtime of zero. I will investigate further.

[JamesHeinrich]

Your sample file is a "fragmented MP4" (more useful for streaming) where data is stored in many small independent segments rather than one large segment. I haven't been able to find useful documentation as to the exact structure of some of the crucial structures, notably tfhd // Track Fragment HeaDer box mfhd // Movie Fragment HeaDer box mvex // MoVie EXtends box If someone can find some appropriate documentation showing the byte structure of these and related please let me know.

Thank you for taking the time to look again.

I'll see if I can find out more about them and report anything back here.
