I'm decrypting an audible audiobook using this command:
ffmpeg -audible_key KEY -audible_iv IV -i book.aax -c copy out.m4b
The output file seems fine on my Windows machine. Metadata and cover are are present. But when I copy the file to my android device, the cover art isn't loaded (CX File Explorer and Smart Audiobook Player). The audio plays as expected and chapters are present, but no cover art. I've also tried mapping just the audio stream to output and using atomicparsley to add the cover art, and I get the same result. I've tried -moovflags faststart; same result. Also, if I put the aax file on my android device and change its extension to m4b, the cover art DOES show.
But, if I instead use the following command:
ffmpeg -audible_key KEY -audible_iv IV -i book.aax -c:a copy -f adts pipe: | ffmpeg -f aac -i pipe: -i book.aax -map 0:a -map 1:v -map_metadata 1 -c copy out.m4b
Then the output file's cover art DOES show on Android. However, this is a less than ideal solution for several reasons. Any ideas how I can use one ffmpeg process to decrypt the audiobook but still have cover art display?
Additional details:
- This only seems to be a problem on 44kHz book. All 22kHz books I've
tested with the simple command work perfectly. But this could just be related to file site. > ~500 MB the cover are doesn't load on Androud, but smaller files do work. - I've also tried this:
ffmpeg -i goodfile.m4b -i badfile.m4b -map 0:v -map 1:a -map_metadata 0 -c copy out.m4b, and the resulting output has the same problem: no cover art on android. There's something wonky with the audio stream.
Below are the outputs of ffprobe -show_streams -show_format on both files.
