| Summary | 0008906: Automated codec installation / purchase mechanism (Audio) | ||||
| Description | The current implementation for automatic codec installation only works for video codecs and not for audio codecs. This means that: 1) If I double-click other .m4a files, MM presents a hardcoded prompt to install Quicktime, rather than whatever is specified at missingcodec.php. This is a major issue for OEM builds, which e.g. MM should send the user to the missingcodec script, which would in turn forward the user to http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/quicktime/ (which in the case of an OEM would presumably change to link to some other page). 2) If the user double-clicks an .isma file prior to having installed the codec pack, nothing happens (mm just skips the track). MM should go to the (MediaMonkey or OEM) missingcodec script and from there link to the codec pack. | ||||

Note that, at least for shorter term, we could simply guess codec based on container, there doesn't seem to be a need to analyze the file. |
|
|
Fixed in 4.1.0.1600 and codec pack 2.0.1.2. Merged to Mambo build 1516 and Mambo codec pack build 18. |

Resolving, it would be very risky and quite complicated to merge this fix to 4.0.x versions. |
