error loading mp4
Hi, When my minimserver starts up, I get this error:
Error: no supported brand found in file xxxx.mp4

Since for an mp4, "brand" means the ftyp code.
A mediainfo dump of the file shows:

Complete name : O:\Other N-Z\The Warning\15-06-08.The Warning.Nuevo Leon - Monterrey.v\15-06-08.The Warning.Nuevo Leon - Monterrey.mp4
Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : QuickTime
Codec ID : qt 0000.02 (qt )
File size : 15.4 GiB
Duration : 42 min 18 s
Overall bit rate : 52.2 Mb/s
Frame rate : 26.102 FPS
Title : 15-06-08.The Warning.Nuevo Leon - Monterrey
Album : 15-06-08.The Warning.Nuevo Leon - Monterrey.v
Album/Performer : The Warning
Performer : The Warning
Genre : Rock
Recorded date : 2015
Encoded date : 2025-04-03 18:43:04 UTC
Tagged date : 2025-04-03 18:43:04 UTC
Writing application : Wondershare Capture

'qt' is a completely standard ftyp code. And the file plays perfectly wherever I've tried. What is the meaning of this error? What can I do about it?

thanks!

Is it possible for you to upload a small file with the qt brand to my FTP server so that I can test with it and verify the changes to MinimServer to add this support? The file would need to be no more than about 300MB.

Hi,
Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, this is the only such file I have. i tried cutting it, but in the process it I wound up with a copy.... without the error. So I reencoded the whole file and now it works. Oh well, probably not crucial to add tro the product! thanks!
