@dreieck Done. Thank you for the good housekeeping suggestion!

Please change tone-bin optional dependency to tone.

tone-bin should provide tone (↗ issue reported).

So the user is free to decide which variant of tone to install (even if now only one might be available).

Regards!

I have updated the PKGBUILD. It is important to note that currently, the version of libmp4v2 in official stable Arch repo (in extras) is out of date and is flagged as such, so if problems arise I may consider maintaining an AUR package for the most up-to-date release of libmp4v2, but if m4b-tool works well enough with the official repo's libmp4v2, I'd rather not take on that responsibility. If I did that I'd want a co-maintainer because I don't have enough knowledge and free time for troubleshooting a libmp4v2 build.

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
