I'm running LMS 7.9.2 on a Linux server and squeezelite on a number of Linux clients (Raspberries and Intel). I see the phenomenon that some of my m4a files play without problem while others don't.
Here's the mediainfo for a file that works:
and here for one that doesn't:
Upon trying to play back the latter, I get the following entry in the server log:
And the following in squeezelite's log:
I assume the faad_decode error is the problem but doing a websearch for it didn't turn up any useful information.
There's no DRM involved and VLC e.g. is able to play the file without problems.
Any ideas anyone? Thank you very much in advance!
