From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

how come a m4a file doesn't loop when I configure vlc to do exactly that? OS: Debian 12.5 (lemmy.ml)

This happened with xubuntu 23.10 and now with debian 12.5

actually, 2 files: 'Pulp - Disco 2000 1995.m4a' and 'Pulp - Disco 2000 1995.mp4' inside a directory named Music.

If I move any of the files to another directory, the same happens, vlc will play the track only once.

If, however, I rename any of the 2 tracks, simply changing one character makes the files normal playable again, regardless of where I paste it.

I used yt-dlp to download both the m4a file and the mp4 file and both files do this. I have an ample m4a / mp4 collection and only these 2 files do this.

Why?

Sometimes yt-dlp drops fragments leading to corrupt files, maybe that's what's going on.
