Debian : FFmpeg for m4a support #620

Closed mapomme1108 closed 8 years ago

mapomme1108 commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I would like to know how to install and use ffmpeg instead of the others codecs on Debian.

Because I want to be able to m4a audio files.

Thanks

hey mapomme,

you just need to install the ffmpeg package.

apt-get install ffmpeg

ffmpeg is already the preferred decoder for m4a files. after installing you have to restart the server so that cherry music detects the available codecs.

Hello,

I have installed ffmpeg and rebooted the server but when I open a folder containing flac or m4a in Cherrymusic, it says: "No playable media files here"

I can play mp3 files

The issue is the same with Debian 8.3.0 Jessie and with Debian 7.9 Wheezy

mapomme1108 commented 8 years ago

I have installed both ffmpeg and the others codecs and it works!

But I have no progress bar with Flac and m4a

mapomme1108 commented 8 years ago

How can I fix the problem with the progression bar?

Hey @mapomme1108 ,

great to hear that it works for you now! The progress bar problem is a known (and still open) issue (see #275). Somewhere down the comments @devsnd gives a detailed explanation about the problem, if you want to know more.
