mp4v2 - issue #172

Enhancement: Fill Genre from GenreType


Posted on Aug 3, 2014 by Swift Panda

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Run mp4info on a .m4a file from iTunes using a standard genre. 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? You see a 'GenreType' tag but no Genre. This causes problems for software such as MediaTomb using the library and expecting a Genre.

The patch here is an initial attempt to rectify this situation. It will fill in the Genre from the corresponding string to the GenreType if one is found. This patch should be improved to only do this if the Genre is empty (right now it overwrites) and this behavior should be made optional at least at config time.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? mp4v2 2.0.0
