Apple M4B files not opening #907

Open tiagomscampos opened 3 months ago

tiagomscampos commented 3 months ago

Bug/Feature description

I recently started using Cozy and had no issues playing audiobooks with M4B format. I downloaded some audiobooks purchased through Apple Books (also in M4B) but Cozy will not play them. I am not sure why but when I do the "Scan Library" option it tells me that "Some files could not be imported" due to potential reasons such as:

I can't seem to find any similar issues online. Any idea why could this be? Is there something I am missing? Thank you.

Steps to reproduce

System Information

Rastafabisch commented 3 months ago

I suspect the files are DRM protected, but that's just a hunch. In case I'm able to successfully build Cozy 1.3 or 1.2.1 on macOS I will test this.

I won’t be able to test, as I cannot even get the GTK toolchain to build right now…

tiagomscampos commented 3 months ago

I thought that could be the case but can’t say for sure. Thank you.

I have encountered M4B files that suffer the same problem. I can confirm that these files are not DRM-protected. They play fine in Amberol and Decibels.

Here is the output of ffprobe on one of the files, in case it's helpful:

Hi,

Thank you for the extra info. I'm not sure how to use it though as I am not well versed on this subject. I've tried contacting Apple but they stopped replying a while back. If you have any other suggestions that would be much appreciated. If not I will have to unfortunately keep on listening to the few audio books I have with this issue on an other platform (at least for the time being).

Kind regards, Tiago Campos

I've got cozy on two machines, using the same synced folder. On one machine I have this problem with m4b files (not DRM'ed), and on the other cozy works just fine.

One is snap (it has the problem) the other is from flathub. So perhaps it's prerequisite files installed on the system?
