Well, i'm not sure you implied the usage of --audio-bitrate="62k", because it is not in the specs for every player.

  • What player did you use?

  • Does using m4b-tool with defaults produce unplayable files? php m4b-tool.phar merge "data/my-audio-book" --output-file="data/my-audio-book.m4b"

  • Try using m4b-tool WITHOUT these params: --convert-charset --audio-format="m4b" --audio-bitrate="62k" --audio-codec="aac"

  • Try to change the --audio-bitrate to 64k instead of 62k.

I intentionally used bitrate at 62k, because that was source bitrate.

I tried: Windows Media Player, Groove, and MPC-HC (Media Player Classic).

Doing just this command, results in unplayable file:
php m4b-tool.phar merge "X:\ToSort\Anthology - Star Wars-- Canto Bight (Read by Multiple Narrators)" --output-file="X:\ToSort\Anthology - Star Wars-- Canto Bight (Read by Multiple Narrators)\Canto Bight.m4b" --ffmpeg-threads=8 --artist="Sean Kenin, Saskia Maarleveld, Marc Thompson, Jonathan Davis" --albumartist="Saladin Ahmed, Rae Carson, Mira Grant, John Jackson Miller" -f -v --no-cache

Ok, if you append the --debug flag, m4b-tool creates a dump file, in which the shell commands should be listed (every call of mp4tools and ffmpeg with params).

Could you provide this dump as file? I'll take a look at it.

Here is the dump file:

It seems to be an ffmpeg bug with some input files.
Message: Too many packets buffered for output stream 0:1.
See https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6375 for details.

The linked ticket describes a workaround, I'll try to implement this in the next version as well as an "--ffmpeg-params" argument for providing global extra ffmpeg parameters.

Ok, I published a pre-release v.0.3-beta2:
https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool/releases/download/v.0.3-beta2/m4b-tool.phar

Running your command with --ffmpeg-param="-max_muxing_queue_size" --ffmpeg-param="1000" appends -max_muxing_queue_size 1000 to every ffmpeg call, like it is described in the workaround. This might work, but it seems that ffmpeg does not handle arguments the same way on any position (order of arguments can be important, depending if it should affect input or output files), so it is very difficult to implement this in a generic way.

If this does not work, i could add another option for exactly this workaround but i would prefer waiting for ffmpeg to fix this issue.

You could also convert your sourcefiles to another format before feeding it into m4b-tool, so that this issue would not affect your files... but i understand if this is a step you want to avoid.

I really hope this does the job for you and the --ffmpeg-param options should help expierienced users to get the best out of m4b-tools ffmpeg wrapping now.

This seems to be a totally different error, since the filename is not even close to m4b (.m44). If this is not a typo, it is, because you tried to convert the files on a Shared drive (X:) - this is not supported in any case AFAIK. What you could to instead is to use so called UNC Paths (\\servername\sharename\audiobook-name) instead of mounting the drive as network share. If you are still experiencing those errors using a local file (C:...), i would ask you kindly to add a new issue for this problem.

But to come back to this issue with converting (Too many packets buffered for output stream 0:1):
I think there is not much i can do here, because i suspect ffmpeg not supporting this special kind of file you are trying to use.
Perhaps the next step would be to provide a statically linked version of ffmpeg and mp4tools for each OS in this repository, but therefore i have to check the licensing.

So here we go... next beta with some general improvements and the workaround suggested in the ffmpeg issue...
Since i did not notice any side effects using -max_muxing_queue_size=9999 except for the fact that older ffmpeg versions are no longer supported, its integrated now by default.

If this does not fix the issue, I've run out of ideas...

sandreas pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 30, 2018
added max_muxing_queue_size=9999 as possible workaround for #9

@d2dyno Did the latest beta fix the issue for you?

I am trying a few things:

  1. Re-run latest beta on previous Windows box.
  2. Run m4b tool on Ubuntu box. If it works, script the shit out of it, so I can just input a folder and it will run in the background.

This is now fixed on Windows. Playable files are created without any special settings.

Thanks for all the hard work! Let me know when donations open.
