Add MP4 (M4A) load(s) support #14

Open thebigmunch opened 4 years ago

thebigmunch commented 4 years ago

This has been sitting around locally for too long. Time to get some other people looking at/testing it, so it can finally get across the finish line.

For anyone willing to do some testing of MP4 support: pip install -U git+https://github.com/thebigmunch/audio-metadata@mp4.

I set a warning to emit when it runs into tags using data types I don't currently have explicitly handled. I'd love to get any files that emit this warning.

Any questions/issues/discussion, post here.

Hello! Found my issue got updated by this. Decided to test mp4 support. Seems to work for the most part. [Tested standard aac audio, not the weirded parts yet.]

Detects cover but doesn't detect other covers. [Again, those are placeholder images.]

Update 1:

Tested Apple AAC Encoding. Well it detects correctly but it doesn't detect HE-AAC, still displays it as AAC LC Referance Track

Thanks for testing. I'm not sure everyone knows just how much I need people to test this stuff on their own files.

About the multiple tags, yeah, I hadn't gotten to supporting multiples for any of the MP4 tags yet. One of the things I need to finish up, though I had forgotten to list it.

And thanks especially for the HE-AAC track. So, HE-AAC is actually AAC LC with SBR extension (v1) or SBR and PS extensions (v2). But, I haven't finished the extension parsing yet to be able to modify the codec description. This appears to be a v1 file. Glad to have an example.

Hopefully I'll get motivation to work on the MP4 stuff again soon. Been banging out a lot of other stuff recently.

thebigmunch commented 4 years ago

Just pushed a new version that supports multiple covers.

thebigmunch commented 4 years ago

And, now it should set the codec description for your AAC-HE file. Plus, I found and fixed a bug along the way.

Apple AAC Works: image

Also Doesn't detect Nero Encoded AAC for whatever reason... Test file if needed image

Though... FFmpeg also says a Unknown Cover Type and just skips it entirely:

Yeah, for the cover art, apparently it can be set as the IMPLICIT MP4 atom type. I don't know enough about MP4 to know if that's wrong or just nonsensical. Either way, I can just add an UNKNOWN cover format to handle that case. Taglib does the same. No reason to skip it.

Just pushed changes to support that and the Nero-encoded file. Though, it did remind me that I haven't added support for the freeform ---- tags yet.

Thanks again for the testing.

Hi,

It seems like the bitrate is not being read correctly for some of my .m4a files. Any ideas as to why this could be happening? screenshot1 screenshot2

aw-was-here commented 3 years ago

What's the current state of this issue? Thanks.

aw-was-here commented 3 years ago

For the code base I'm using this branch with, I'm not doing anything particularly fancy so it mostly works. Biggest issues I hit were:

It is working for m4a files recorded with quicktime media! thanks!!

For anyone that cares, here's a fix for the freeform fields bug: https://github.com/whatsnowplaying/audio-metadata/commit/920b2bfde57a16292214afdf2660d43e572eafd5
