Wrong mimetype for m4v files (video/quicktime) about getid3 HOT 6 CLOSED

The MP4 (or, more properly, "ISO base media file format") is based on the QuickTime structure. About 90% of QuickTime, MP4, 3GPP, etc all overlap and have about 90% in common.

If you can propose an accurate test to differentiate MP4 from Quicktime from other cousins in the module.quicktime then I'll consider doing so.

Facing the same issue with the MIME type. Does this issue has been resolved?

from getid3.

It isn't fixed.

Again, if you can propose a test (other than based on filename) to differentiate a Quicktime container from a MP4 container I'll be happy to return video/mp4 where appropriate.

Meanwhile you can do something like
$info['mime_type'] = ((($info['mime_type'] == 'video/quicktime') && preg_match('#\\.(mp4|m4v)$#i', $info['filename']) ? 'video/mp4' : $info['mime_type']);
where $info is the array returned from getid3->analyze and that should modify the MIME type based on filename.

As you said.
The specifications for quicktime and mp4 are very similar and each of them has around 150 sites?
To search for the differences seems to be a little bit time-consuming.
So I can't propose an accurate test at the moment.

I made a change in 9d46705 that should set video/mp4 in some cases. If you have a file that should be showing as video/mp4 but still shows as video/quicktime with this change please let me know.
