Fixed in 5.0.748. Player checks file extension and leaves video as blank if it is an mp3

The same problem occurs if the RTMP resource has an "mp3:" prefix.

From TimoK: 

When I add a second condition to the if clause, it works!

RTMPMediaProvider Line 225

if (item.file.substr(-4) == '.mp3' || item.file.substr(0,4) == 'mp3:') {

Amended three cases to this hack:

  • item.file.substr(0,4) == 'mp3:'
  • item.file.substr(-4) == '.aac'
  • item.file.substr(-4) == '.m4a'

I wish there was a nicer way to do this. Unfortunately, doing stuff like checking the metadata for a videotrack is not possible. Not all videos have that metadata, causing the video not to appear, which is worse than hiding the thumb with audio.
