VB has stopped playing M4A files

I'm sure it was but now it won't, any ideas?

I had an issue with m4a files not playing back off of the vortex box, and it seems that it's a issue with the recent versions of Squeezecenter on Linux. There's a wiki page about the issue and possible fixes here

Basically Squeezecenter on Linux needs to manually told what to use to transcode m4a files.

This is already in the Vortexbox config file should anything else be required?




mov flc * *
# F
[faad] -q -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 --endian little --sign signed --channels 2 --bps 16 --sample-rate 44100 -
mov mp3 * *
# FB:{BITRATE=-B %B}
[faad] -q -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [lame] --resample 44100 --silent -q $QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ -r - -
mov wav * *
# F
[faad] -q -w -f 2 $FILE$ 2>/dev/null
