XMMS-MP4 (*.m4a) support on my amd64 ubuntu box?

[zaubara]

Hey there :)

Yesterday, I installed ubuntu 5.04 on my amd64 machine and I like it a lot so far. But I want to be able to play my .m4a files, imported from my Ipod, which work fine on my mac!

I installed the XMMS plugin, but starting XMMS returns this:

libmp4v2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After hours of googling, I found MPEG4IP to be missing, which is not on any ubuntu source. I had to compile it for myself. I installed everything needed and it stops making with some strange error at the server module, so I made it again without the server; in the libs folder, I found a libmp4v2.so.0.0.0 which i copied to /lib/libmp4v2.so.0.

Starting XMMS now returns this error:
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmp4.so: undefined symbol: MP4GetTrackAudioType

Playing *.m4a's still doesnt work. :(
Is anyone of you already able to play such files??

Thanks for all of your support! ;)

Wellwell ...
I reinstalled ubuntu, added this repository:

http://cyberspace.ucla.edu/marillat unstable main

reinstalled a few programmes and now it works flawlessly. :)
Just in case you wanted to know.

Hey dude

Im trying like you to get AAC support. I have an ipod so i have countless AAC files.

Im using rhythmbox.

Your repository works fine , installed gstreamer0.8-faad perfect but after this, it tells me to run gs-register ?

But i dont have this command ?

At the moment, i lost all my plugins :S

EDIT

Thanx google, i got all my plugins back using gst-register0.8 :)

But i still cant play the AAC files :9

Could not decode stream blablablalbal

Well, I was cheering too fast i guess... :/

Rhytmbox is for me a no-go, too :(

Thats what XMMS tells me:

2-MPEG-4 AAC Low Complexity profile
MP4 - 2 channels @ 44100 Hz
MP4: Pulse coding not allowed in short blocks

Dunno what that means, someone I found on google stated that this was a bug in faad2 fixed a long time ago ...


// edit:

What I now did was installing BMP (apt-get install beep-media-player beep-media-player-dev), compiling the plugin for BMP from this page: http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/realisations/ and I am now listening to a m4a file. ;)

No clue why it doesnt work with XMMS tho ... whatever, BMP looks great too :)

Could you tell me how you compiled that plugin? I'm lost.

Me too please :mrgreen:

my ./configure works. But my make command fails.


This command fails to autoreconf -vifs

I get lost when he talks about FLAGS and PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Why does ./configure && make && make install never works =/

[zaubara]

What I did was installing automake1.8 instead of the shipped 1.4 or newest 1.9 (the easiest way to do this is by synaptic)

I then did

ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.8 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.8 autoreconf -vifs
./configure
make
sudo make install

... AFAIR.
Make double sure you have all tools required for compiling (like automake 1.8, autoconf, libtool), aswell aus "beep-media-player-dev"!

If you still fail, post the last lines of your bailing make :)

Good luck!

./configure works fine.

But make fails. probably because this command fails.

I have libtool, i have autoconf18, i have everything.

[pfrrp]

when i use autoreconf it doesnt recognize the command -vifs
im new to this...
thanks for any help.

Okay, so .m4a's work for me in beep-media-player (compiled a plugin) and vlc (just worked), but still not in Rhythmbox. I have all the libraries, it just doesn't happen.

I had those errors as well, when starting xmms:
libmp4v2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So... I found those repositories...

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
deb-src ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main

Add those repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list

From there of course:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmp4-0 libmp4-dev
sudo apt-get install libmikmod2 libmikmod2-dev

That's it! Now xmms is good to go!

[antidrugue]

And of course you had to at some point do that... (if not done already)

sudo apt-get install xmms-mp4
