M4B (1 Viewer)

Hi


Would it be possible to get MPTagThat to recognize m4b files. The m4b container is just a renamed m4a, that makes it possible for iPods and other to recognize the file a an audiobook.

And besides the extension it is identical to m4a?

Hello,

any news about that? For me it would be highly appreciated to get m4b files into the database.

SOrry, totally forgot about it. and i was busy with MediaPortal over the last weeks.
It is on my list now, tough i don't know yet, when i will do it.

thanks a lot. Would it be possible for you to write a short notice as soon as you have implemented it?

 

[hwahrmann]

Yes, but real life hit me.
Too much to do at work. Still don't know, when i would have time.

Hello,
whats about real life. Hopefully everything is getting better before x-mas. Do you have any news regarding m4bs?

Thanks
Markus

I am currently working on an update for MPTagThat, which will include it.
However you would need the same binary in MP, in order for m4b to be recognized.
And we are in feature freeze for 1.6. I can create a custom build for MP 1.6 for you.

that would be great!

I have just realised, that the Tagreader in MP would be able to read m4b files.
you just need to add "m4b" to the valid music extensions inside MP config

grab a build for MPTT from here: http://mediaportal.wahrmann.com/MPTagThat_setup.zip

let me know who it works for you
