the latest version has issues which can be fixed if you download prerelease and replace file /usr/local/bin/m4b-tool with m4b-tool.phar downloaded from here: https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool/releases/tag/latest I downloaded version from 2022-08-06 and it works great. So far no issues. This can be workaround till we have next version on AUR.

@Starwalker Thanks, I corrected the checksum.

There is a tagged prerelease from 2022 but the developer cautions that a specific fork of lipmp4v2 that isn't on the AUR is a dependency, which means that I need to test whether it would work without the forked libmp4v2, and if not, decide whether make a separate PKGBUILD for libmp4v2-enzo and make it a dependency, or modify m4b-tool-bin's to include it.

After recent archlinux upgrade I got this error when I try to use m4b-tool:

Your ffmpeg version cannot produce top quality aac using encoder aac instead of libfdk_aac PHP Fatal error: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is not supported. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in phar:///usr/bin/m4b-tool/vendor/twig/twig/src/Node/Node.php on line 43 an error occured, that has not been caught: Array ( [type] => 64 [message] => Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is not supported. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) [file] => phar:///usr/bin/m4b-tool/vendor/twig/twig/src/Node/Node.php [line] => 43 )

PROBLEM with PHP is described here: https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool/issues/150

SOLUTION (workaround); manually download the latest release and follow the instructions: https://github.com/sandreas/m4b-tool/releases/tag/latest

I had to install fdkaac to use the tool. It should be added to dependencies.

Here is the error message

You need fdkaac to be installed for using audio profiles
