aiff - The file contains no audio streams - ODD tags only

[todehefa]

Hi guys!

I have a problem, maybe you can help me. I can see the streams only if the AIFF file has a EVEN number of written tags. If I write/delete one more it won't work. (odd tags)

Have a nice day!

Can you post a sample?

I just tested with kid3 tag editor a bit, and files tagged with that are broken with spek 0.8.2.

This is probably only insofar a problem of Spek as its current build uses incredibly outdated ffmpeg libraries - using a newer version I compiled against ffmpeg 3.2.4 the files that previously didn't open opened just fine.

Which OS are you on?

I'm using Windows 10. So, in order to see the spectrum of an .aiff file that originaly show nothing in Spek (along with the message "The file contains no audio streams"), I will simply open it with Mp3tag and add/delete ONE tag information from that file. If i add/delete one more after that, it will not work again.

You're in luck then, I made a "custom" version of Spek with all the new improvments + newer ffmpeg (which fixes an incredible amount of issues I had with Spek):

Can you test if you have the same issues with this version?

It really works!!! Thank you for your help :D !!

[withmorten]

Nice! I hope the official Spek gets updated at some point so more people can benefit from the better ffmpeg libraries and all the other little improvements ...

[withmorten]

Glad to hear that!

Would it be possible to have a version that is OS X 10.11 compatible ? This one requires OS X 10.12. That would help a lot (I have same issue). Thx!

[withmorten]

Just compiled it on 10.11:

spek-0.8.2.3.zip

Since that seems to run on 10.12 with no problems I'll be switching out the dmg on the actual release page, too.

Yes, it works smooth on 10.11 now, TYVM :-)
