Write cover art to mov files

Reported by: svnpenn Owned by:
Priority: wish Component: avformat
Version: git-master Keywords: mov

Blocking: Reproduced by developer: no
Analyzed by developer: no

Description

.m4a files support album art
.mp4 files support cover art

currently you can add the art in this way

atomicparsley infile.mp4 --artwork infile.png --overWrite

However once muxed with FFmpeg some changes happen

ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 -c copy -map 0 outfile.mp4
  1. The png stream changes from
png

to

png (m[0][0][0] / 0x006D)
  1. Thumbnail disappears, example http://superuser.com/a/524120
  1. If you open in VLC instead of just playing video it also opens a second window with the png

Is this problem reproducible with current git head?

comment:2 by svnpenn, 11 years ago

If it helps, I tested it again with

ffmpeg version N-54802-gfc6de70 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg developers
  built on Jul 18 2013 18:07:01 with gcc 4.7.3 (GCC)

same result. If need be I can build from HEAD and try again.

comment:3 by jamal, 11 years ago

mov/mp4/m4a muxer currently doesn't support cover art.
A patch that implements this was submitted to ffmpeg-devel a few weeks ago.

This is the thread: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/165509

comment:7 by Vitaly Zdanevich, 7 years ago

Still no way to add a cover to the m4a?

comment:8 by Oscar Calvo, 7 years ago

What is the current status of this issue?

comment:9 by fabled, 7 years ago

I am also interested to fix this, I just posted redesigned and greatly simplified patch against current git master: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-March/227516.html

comment:10 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 7 years ago

Resolution: fixed
Status: openclosed

comment:11 by svnpenn, 6 years ago

This is not fixed - as the commit does nothing for M4A files:

[ipod @ 0000000000353bc0] Could not find tag for codec mjpeg in stream #1, codec
not currently supported in container

comment:12 by fabled, 6 years ago

Yes, it was omission in the original patch to not support m4a and m4v files. This has been fixed in commit 12205d2c896b7edbc929d4886e7bfda4b53538e5. Be sure to use '-c copy' or similar to make sure that ffmpeg does not try to transcode the cover image to H.264 which is not supported as cover image. Additional (relatively intrusive) changes would be needed to get the automatic transcoding codecs right.

comment:13 by Khang NT, 6 years ago

Still facing this problem, is it really fixed?
