"Missing" Video Files Can't Be Played

[jaymacke]

Perhaps I've missed something obvious, but I think that because of the deprecation of Quicktime I cannot use KJams to play MOV files ripped from Karaoke VCDs. I have a ton of these cheeseball files from long ago, but KJams doesn't recognize them anymore--my imported database contains references to the songs and the MOV files themselves exist, but when I try to play one, I get an error that the song is "missing." What is funny is that when I ask KJams to "reveal in finder" it takes me right to the appropriate file. I should note that I can't play these files in Big Sur from finder either--the audio plays, but not the video.

Is there some obvious workaround for this issue?

I have same issue with certain mp4 files, but have not figured out why some works and some don't.

please send me samples of each type of song that doesn't work.

ie:
@jaymake, please send a MOV file of this type
@joachimschmidt, please send an mp4 that doesn't work.

you can use dropbox or a file transfer service of your choosing, if it wont fit in an email.

thanks!

I have same issue with certain mp4 files .. some work and some don't. [have emailed mp4 that doesn't work]

I got your mp4 file, loaded it into my kJams 64, and it works fine (no message of it being missing). i DO see a bug that, the first time i play it (after startup) it works, but all subsequent times it plays audio but not video. if that's what you're seeing, please start a new topic, and leave this one to be about "missing" files.

if it is still "missing" for you, please text me and i can look on your computer?
