Hello there!
I recently upgraded to frodo and reinstalled xbmcbuntu. But now half of my music displays the wrong length in XBMC (arround 10x the actual duration). Theese files are self-converted from m4a to mp3 VBR with avconv. The files worked on Eden.
Here two files as a comparison:
FILE 1 - WORKING VBR MP3 BOUGHT ON AMAZON (shows correct duration)
mp3info output:
mpck output:
FILE TWO - SELF-CONVERTED (avconv -i "$i" -ab 256k -y "${i%m4a}mp3" {m4a files to mp3}):
mp3info:
mpck:
The only thing I can think of beeing the problem could be the following lines in mp3info:
FILE1:
Audio: Variable kbps, 44 kHz (joint stereo)
FILE2:
Audio: 256 kbps, 44 kHz (joint stereo)
XBMC could assume that the file is a 256kbps CBR file for the calculation of the duration. But I would not know how to easily solve this problem.
EDIT: It works fine in all other players. I post this to the general support forum because I don't think this is a problem with xbmcbuntu
