Upgrade breaks Amarok m4a

[Brian Watson]

Binary package hint: amarok

I'm not quite sure if this is an Amarok or an engine problem, but before the upgrade to 8.04 (Kubuntu and Ubuntu) I had ability to play .m4a files (AAC, no DRM) now I get a no demux plugin spit back out at me. I have tried purging and reinstalling Amarok, but even with new config files, there is no solution I can get.

Anyone else having similar problems?

I'm seeing a similar problem with what I believe to be a fully patched Hardy AMD64 install. I've tried the usual things - deleting ~/.xine, purging/reinstalling amarok/amarok-xine/libxine1-ffmpeg etc.

amarok 2:1.4.8-0ubuntu5
amarok-xine 2:1.4.8-0ubuntu5
libxine1-ffmpeg 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu1
libxine1 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu1
libxine1-bin 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu1
libxine1-console 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu1
libxine1-misc-plugins 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu1
libxine1-x 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu1

The files in question claim to be:

"ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, iTunes AAC-LC"

totem-gstreamer plays the files fine, totem-xine fails with "There is no plugin no handle this movie".

I'm on a 32bit Hardy, so this is cross-platform. Marking as confirmed. =)

This is not an Amarok problem then.
Reassigning to xine-lib.

I just ran "apt-get upgrade" and after upgrading the xine libraries the problem has disappeared.

Thank you.
Assuming this new upload fixed the problem I am closing as fix released.
If anyone still has this problem after updating please reopen.

Thank you for the report.

I can confirm this has been fixed in the latest xine libraries. Thanks!
