Apple M4B files not opening #907

I suspect the files are DRM protected, but that's just a hunch. In case I'm able to successfully build Cozy 1.3 or 1.2.1 on macOS I will test this. I won’t be able to test, as I cannot even get the GTK toolchain to build right now… |

I thought that could be the case but can’t say for sure. Thank you.

I have encountered M4B files that suffer the same problem. I can confirm that these files are not DRM-protected. They play fine in Amberol and Decibels. Here is the output of |

Hi,
Thank you for the extra info. I'm not sure how to use it though as I am not well versed on this subject. I've tried contacting Apple but they stopped replying a while back. If you have any other suggestions that would be much appreciated. If not I will have to unfortunately keep on listening to the few audio books I have with this issue on an other platform (at least for the time being).
Kind regards,
Tiago Campos

Bug/Feature description
I recently started using Cozy and had no issues playing audiobooks with M4B format. I downloaded some audiobooks purchased through Apple Books (also in M4B) but Cozy will not play them. I am not sure why but when I do the "Scan Library" option it tells me that "Some files could not be imported" due to potential reasons such as:
I can't seem to find any similar issues online. Any idea why could this be? Is there something I am missing? Thank you.
