I've been using the MP4/AAC plugin for beep-media-player (bmp-mp4) for a few months now and I have not had it die on me once. Once emerged, it works fine. I do notice that upon playing files, BMP displays the full path for *.m4a files in the Playlist Editor instead of "Artist - Title", and the View File Information dialog never appears, but BMP doesn't crash and the m4a files play fine. Maybe tag fetching is not yet implemented. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge bmp-mp4 (manually added "amd64" to KEYWORDS in ebuild) 2. run beep-media-player and make sure mp4 plugin is checked on the plugin screen 3. load m4a files into playlist and play them. Actual Results: Files play fine. As discussed above, tag information is unavailable. However, given that the plugin's main purpose is fulfilled, I would consider the tag information to be an ancillary (and perhaps, unnecessary) feature. Please promote this package to either "testing" or "stable" (I vote stable) for AMD64. If the tag information problem is the only thing holding it back on the X86 platform then I would suggest that it is okay to be promoted to "stable" on X86 as well (however I have only tested it on AMD64), but that should probably be a separate "bug" report.
Ron: Despite necessary security updates nothing goes stable without at least a thirty day testing period.
It works for me too on amd64, added it to my package.keywords accepting ~x86 and it works fine. Could probably add the ~amd64 keyword to the ebuild.
bmp-mp4-20041215 works fine here too.
