XMPlay AAC & MP4 plugin

[Ajaja]

It works! Thank you.

Jolly good. The updated plugin is now up in the first post.

[PSXGamerPro1]

uh, I cant find the plugin anymore. It is not even at the link Ian provided either. lol
I need the mp4 part. lol

Both the link the first post as well as on the XMPlay download site do work as expected.

Is there any way that DASH M4A files can be supported? (the ones from YouTube etc.) VLC can play them fine as well as chrome natively.
The only real solution is to use ffmpeg:

Code Select Expand

ffmpeg -i "dashfile.m4a" -codec copy "out.m4a"
The file does not change too substantially, it still uses normal AAC encoding, but different headers, and uses Movie Fragment (moof) to spit the data into chunks.

This is a binary diff of a 3MB DASH file vs. a 3MB working converted file - not much change  (beside top and bottom, the even lines are 1824-byte moof chunks)

I would just convert the DASH files using ffmpeg or what have you. Probably not possible to fix unless DASH is somehow implemented in the decoder.

Please implement DASH in the decoder! 

I cant open m4a/mp4 downloaded from youtube with my favourite player..

You could always use a browser add-on (like Complete Youtube Saver) to grab the audio files in comfortable formats.

Have snagged a few bits and pieces myself, never ran into a problem.

hello there.
I tried to play xHE-AAC audio but i have seen that this current revision 9 is unable to do it.
But the question, is there any other temporal solution ?

[Ian @ un4seen]

Unfortunately, xHE-AAC isn't supported by the AAC plugin, but it should be supported on Windows 11 via Media Foundation, which XMPlay will use when available. If you are using Windows 11 and it's still not working, check that you have the latest Windows update installed.

[rst]

no, i'm with windows 8.1. But it's ok.
I hope that soon this AAC format will be supported because, in theory it has enhancements...
