Hi.
I have problems playing .m4a files in MediaPortal. MP just wont play my files. If I open the files up in Windows MediaPlayer it plays correct.
I have Nero Digital innstalled.

Can someone help me?

Hi

I also had problems with .m4a files.
Mediaportal would play them, but there were no sound.
So I did a little googeling and came across this site :
http://www.fourcc.org/codecs.php
Installed the mp4a codec and the problem was solved.

But, in my case, Windows mediaplayer wont play them, so maybe your problem is different from what I had. Or maybe you have a mediaplayer plugin I am missing.

Anyway, I hope this will help you.

Hi.

Thanks for the link. :)
I found a codec called CoreAAC a few days back, installed it and MP plays my music.
BUT MyMusic doesn`t show the lenght of the songs. Behind every m4a song it says 0.00.
Do you see the length of the song? Is there a way to get MP to show this?

And what codec did you install?

Just as you say the files shows with a lenght of 0:00, but on the now playing screen they show up the correct time.

I installed the codec called mp4a from media excel.

That could have been useful alternative to the CEC Remote, shame they stopped making the Harmony.

Hi This is a general question about OnX. I have been using the TvWishList plugin for a while and have recently updated (update install) from MP 1.36 x86 to 1.37 x86 and found there seemed to be no Onx menu in the TV guide. I then configured the onx.presets.xml file like I would normally do with updates or fresh installs, but still...
