[SOLVED] kodi not playing m4a sound files

[SOLVED] kodi not playing m4a sound files

Postby nwtmg » Feb 7th, '16, 01:27

Hi,

Installed kodi. It will play all my music that is mp3 or flac but not m4a with aac. This is also true with films. I tested the music with clementine and it played m4a. Tested with audacious and it played all the music except m4a. I believe I do not have the correct libraries installed. Thanks.

Next time use the search function before posting, this is just asked too often, if you simply search for aac you will find nearly one hundred hits. Just a short excerpt:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5251
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4098
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=4782

At the very least please provide the output of
Code: Select all
urpmq --list-media active --list-url
rpm -qa | grep -E "faad|kodi"

You have a few tainted packages installed, but no tainted repos enabled? Also you still have the DVD repos from the install media enabled, if you have a fast internet connection I'd recommend disabling them.
Please enable Tainted Release and Tainted Updates, and then run
Code: Select all
urpmi --auto-update
as root to get the tainted versions where possible, should also get the kodi version from tainted.
For how to manage repos, see http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/ ... media.html and maybe https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_man ... nd_updates
