SqueezeCenter unable to play m4a

Post by giorgio »

Hi,

There appears to be a problem with m4a files and the squeezeCenter installation on my Bubba.

I can definitely play mp3 files on my SqueezeBox Boom but NOT m4a. I have not checked any other specific formats yet.

The squeezebox was fine playing all formats from my desktop (ubuntu hardy) and my laptop (ubuntu jaunty).

Do I have to install another package of codecs or something?

Sorry if this is in the manual and I have missed it.

Also is the new version of SqueezeServer (7.4) OK to install on the Bubba?

Cheers
George

The reason for exclusion of m4a (aac) is due to patent royalties. Regarding Squeezeboserver, I'm currently working on it.
