I tried to use mt-daapd for video streaming to iTunes but most of the m4v files are not shown in iTunes. The mt-daapd.log says:

Some movies work but most of them do not. From my hard disk all the movies play well in iTunes. Any idea? Thanks for your help.

During the last big breakage, I folded the m4v and the m4a parsers into a single parser, plus changed out the file io library. So I probably broke something. 🙂

I have an example of one that won’t parse on my desktop right now. I’ll fix parsing on that one in next nightlies, and then if you still have problems, I’d like to see one of the files, if possible.
