With the semi-standard extensions like xing/info frames it almost has enough complexity for one. >It's just an essence stream. You spent too much time around MXF, consider exorcism.

As I remember, there are plenty of samples around of non-mp3 audio files with an id3v2 header, including complex containers like AVI (or was it ASF? possibly both). > > > Also what I don't see in your email is any mention of what would this > > improve for our callers. > > The ability to probe mp3 files with cover art larger than 1 MiB, and > also to skip reading said cover art over a slow connection while still > having functioning probe. How about extending the probe API so that it can accept an AVIOContext and seek in it? > Another concern is HLS, which mandates ID3 support for MP3, AAC, ADTS, > AC3 and EAC3: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8216#section-3.4 > The spec doesn't say whether by "ID3" it means ID3v1 or ID3v2. How does an id3v2 demuxer help here? -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
