Sailfish beta media capabilities?
 
At the moment Sailfish seems to support only following media types:

Image - Jpeg
Music - MP3, pls (playlist)
Video - MPEG4 (H.263 + H.264)

Correct me if I missed something from the list.
Btw I was thinking of making a handbrake profile for Jolla.
Has anyone info / experience of phone built-in video codec's?
Jolla should document these to their specification page when they have the time ;)

Ogg/Vorbis and Flac (up to32Bit/96kHz tested. Seems to strip down of course)

m4a (Apple Lossless) supported to my great surprise as the N9 could not... Flac also as stated by cy8aer. Album covers not supported, only for mp3.

AAC ringtones from other Nokia phones show on list, but doesn't play on my Jolla. Eh ...

You can figure support by checking which gstreamer plugins are installed and how they are configured. It would be good for community to make an additional multimedia repo with more options.

WAV audio also works. Cannot test video on N9 port as nothing displays.

I don't either have problems with m4a's. Not with Jolla and not with N9. Gladly :)

Dunno... Used iTunes to make them from cd, Apple lossless... I just checked, and they really do play, arbitrary picks. For a short while you may download a file so you can check. I will remove it in a couple of days.

No problems with N9? I checked compatibility before buying, then it didn't work, I complained with Nokia, and they changed the compatibility statement on their website to "solve" the problem. :confused:

Are you sure that is Apple lossless? It's a plain MPEG4 AAC-LC file according to my 'file' command. Apple uses .m4a for both lossless and lossy files as both are encassed in the MPEG4 container but use different codecs.

I must admit that I've never tested alac before but I can confirm that it does work in Sailfish.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=41

I tested file from here:
http://www.bakeraudio.org/sample-audio-recordings.html

And gstreamer plays it as audio/x-alac so it does work ok in Sailfish.

Well, those m4a files work in my phone ...

I also checked the m4a files ( from iTunes):

General
Format MPEG-4
Codec ID M4A
...
Audio
Format AAC
Format profile LC
Compression mode Lossy
...

It seems that mediainfo -command line app is not part of Mer?

Re: Sailfish beta media capabilities?
 
well i have m4a alac files in 24bit and media player does not see them. but strangely i can play them from file browser in the lls vPlayer native video player.
so yes sailfish can play the files but no the media player does not see them

Re: Sailfish beta media capabilities?
 
My app Panucci plays everything that the gstreamer backend does but it's more suited for audiobooks so yeah, someone should write a kickass music player for Sailfish, that is not limited by license/patent issues.

Bummer... It was intended as lossless. Last year I started to put cds into flac. Some more to be done then.
