Example retagged m4a.

m4a files (served from squeezeboxserver) were playing fine with Squeezebox Touch and iPeng for iPhone.  Retagged them with Easytag, and now files won't play.  scanner.log indicates:

Slim::Player::Squeezebox2::statHandler (147) Error: 00:04:20:22:d0:7f: Decoder does not support file format, code 0

Files do play in iTunes.  Will upload an example file.

Adding some info:

Plays in VLC.  Converts to mp3 or wav with faad and lame.  Running squeezeboxserver from commandline doesn't yield any more info.  Still just:

[12-11-29 18:37:04.9772] Slim::Player::Squeezebox2::statHandler (147) Error: 00:04:20:22:d0:7f: Decoder does not support file format, code 0

Isn't there some way to display the actual command line of the convertor (i.e., the faad and lame command lines)?
Comment 2 Rob 2012-11-29 16:43:35 UTC
Fixed.

convert.conf file supplied out of the box doesn't work.  I changed to:

mp4 mp3 * *
	# FB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-j %s}U:{END=-e %u}
        [faad] -q -w -f 1 $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q 2 -

And now it works.
