Scanning does not add the majority of .flv files (out of a few hundred in the folder), presenting the error reading file info. Some .flv files are added however. All play successfully.

I have seen many examples on the forums of this issue, but all seem to be resolved by codec pack updates. I am using cccp. I have tried changing the file extension for a few of the files, which has helped some users, but they are still not added to the library. One thing i have noticed is that all those which show the error have "Yet Another Metadata Injector for FLV - Version 1.4" in the Tagged_application string when analysed by mediainfo. Of the files i have analysed, none which were added to the library had this tagged application. See below:

Example mediainfo for one of the files which was not added:

I assume, that this old version of Yamdi has somehow corrupted the files, i.e. wrote metadata in some way, that our parser does not recognize. Could you upload me some sample file, that cannot be imported? You can use any of free file sharing services (e.g. http://www.mediafire.com/) and PM me link, or send us link by support ticket. Thanks.

Just to confirm that we need Sample file, so that we can try to fix the issues.

Quote from their site http://yamdi.sourceforge.net/ "2010-04-03: 1.5 * [Add] AVC/H.264 support" and 1.4 was used on both files are AVC/H.264

Thanks for the help. Yes, i have checked more of the flvs and all of those which are not recognised, were encoded by Yamdi 1.4. They do all play in mediamonkey however. MiPi i have PM'd you a link to one of the affected files.

Just to add, I did not encode these files myself, and realise that converting or re-encoding them would probably solve the issue. However, i have hundreds of files, so if there is a fix it would be appreciated

Thanks for the file, I will look at it, tracked as http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=10820

Posted: **Tue May 07, 2013 11:54 am**

It is fixed, will be in the next 4.1 beta build.

Great, thanks for checking it out.
