You're using Ubuntu?  The libmp4v2 package there comes from faad2 and
it is too old.  Gtkpod's configure script is checking for the function
MP4GetMetadataGrouping in libmp4v2, which isn't available in the
libmp4v2 shipped in Ubuntu.

You can either build your own libmp4v2 from the newer mpeg4ip sources
or you can patch the usage of the grouping function out of gtkpod.
This is what Ubuntu is likely going to do until they get an updated
libmp4v2 package.

[Gtkpod-questions] configure can't find libmp4v2

[Dark Shadow <shadowofdarkness@gm...>]

I just tried putting a video into gtkpod but it came up with this error.

Import of '/home/darkshadow/multimedia/videos/redvsblue/RvB_s1_e02.m4v'
failed: m4a/m4p/m4b not supported without the mp4v2 library. You must
compile the gtkpod source together with the mp4v2 library.
The following track could not be processed (filetype is known but
analysis failed):
'/home/darkshadow/multimedia/videos/redvsblue/RvB_s1_e02.m4v'

According to synaptic I have both the runtime and -dev packages of
libmp4v2 installed. Also "locate libmp4v2" shows the files under
/usr/lib.

How come ./configure can't find the files. How can I force it to use libmp4v2.

Re: [Gtkpod-questions] configure can't find libmp4v2

[Dark Shadow <shadowofdarkness@gm...>]

Thanks for the info. I first tried upgrading mpeg4ip (so I could stay
up to date with svn), but it has a error during the make command so I
gave up.

I ended up using the repo you suggested. Once I noticed that it was
not the same ppa repo I tried before which did not work. (The Ubuntu
wiki changes "sikon" to "ipod-touch" which is older packages.

Oh well I have everything working and with the added bonus of adding
pictures now works which it never did in the svn version for me.

Todd,

I am using Kubutu 7.10 and the version of gtkpod-acc and libgpod from deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/sikon/ubuntu gutsy main.  However, I'm getting
warnings from gtkpod when I try to add video podcasts to my local podcast
repository.  The warnings look like this...

*Could not open '/home/mrmsudawgs/Amarok Podcasts/FOX News
Flash/122807_foxflash_0900_MPG4.mp4' for reading, or file is not an mp4
file.

*Perhaps the problem Dark Shawdow is having is similar to mine???  I'd love
to have a solution because right now, the only way for me to add videos to
my iPod 30 Gig is to rename everything to *.mov extensions.

I would really appreciate any help.

Mike

I don't know much but could it just have the wrong extension. What is
the output of

file /home/mrmsudawgs/Amarok Podcasts/FOX News
Flash/122807_foxflash_0900_MPG4.mp4

And I spoke to soon on mine letting me add pictures, when I went to
view the new ones it had the proper album names and file count but
when I tried to view a album it said I had no pictures.

I don't think it's the same, though the problem of using the older
libmp4v2 library may be related.

There seem to be a few different errors/warning there.

1) Could not open '...' for reading, or file is not an mp4 file.

This comes from src/mp4file.c in cases where the MP4Read() function
=66rom libmp4v2 returns MP4_INVALID_FILE_HANDLE.

2) The following track could not be processed (filetype is known but
analysis failed): '...'

This seems to come from src/file.c in cases where mp4_get_file_info()
(from src/mp4file.c) doesn't fail, but must not return any track info.

It's possible that these tracks would work with the libmp4v2 from
mpeg4ip.  If you wanted to send a link to one such file that fails for
you, I'd be happy to try adding it and see if it works since I have
libmp4v2 from mpeg4ip and not from faad2.

Does that actually work?  Do files renamed to .mov get read and have
any metadata filled in?

I wish I could give you more help.

[Mike <mrmsudawgs+gtk@gm...>]

Todd,

Yes, I have changed the file extensions to .mov and they will load onto the
iPod but there is a catch (of course).  I can not edit the tags nor do the
videos show up in the "Video Podcast" section on my iPod.  They show up in
the "Movie" section - but at least they are on there.  The file names
displayed on my iPod are always something like "7007_12_29_wntwebcast.mov"
instead of "ABC World News Webcast" which is how it shows up if I load it
onto my iPod with iTunes.

Here is the RSS feed that I use to download my video podcasts using Amarok:
http://abcnews.go.com/xmldata/xmlPodcast?id=1478958.  Note, I use Amarok as
my podcast fetcher but I do not use it for syncing my iPod.  Just
podcasting.  I also make sure Amarok is turned off before mounting my iPod.

I'd love to know if you can simply download it and sync it to your iPod with
gtkpod without having to edit any tags or anything like that.  Download and
sync.

Thank you for helping.

Mike
