Yes, you're right. We're pretty much screwed then. All the universities
have demanded that QT be removed from all site computers and our app
depends on .m4a audio. There are too many audio files to convert to
another format, and the audio guy refuses to do it anyway due to the
quality degredation.
We tried installing a codec pack but that didn't work either. We're in
trouble.

I see that Ian Macphail says:
"We decided to overhaul the Windows player object, replacing the existing
Quicktime based implementation with one based on DirectShow, which is fully
supported on all current Windows versions.”

And the Microsoft page describing DirectShow’s supported formats (a rather
limited list)-- .m4a is not one of them:

I’m very interested in this subject, especially when LC gets callbacks working.

We need to play .m4a files on Windows 7 and up. Double-clicking one of

Is this fixable? Is there something users can install to make it work?
Or do we need a more recent version of LC?
Poking around, it looks like I have to build in LC 8.1. If that's
correct, then it's risky, it isn't stable yet. Is there any other way?
I've done some tests on both Windows 10 and Vista using LC 8.1 but m4a files
still do not play when setting the filename of a player. They do play using
WMP. This is becoming an urgent issue for my client and I need to get it
working quickly. Does anyone know what we need to install, or how to get this
working?
Is anyone else able to play .m4a files on Windows using the new player object?
