Bug: Can't parse file's metadata encoded with Lavf58.44.100

When I import a file I get strange characters even though the file itself has normal metadata. File attached

Hi @rastaman111 , thanks for attaching the file, I ran it through ffprobe to see the encoded metadata, and we can clearly see the strange characters in there

I'm closing the issue, but feel free to continue the discussion, as a side note, you can go into the item details screen to change the title and author

Yes, strange encoding, I ran it through several online readers and they showed strange characters, although the Music application shows normal text

I noticed that it uses the Lavf58.44.100 encoding format.
I took another file that uses the LAME3.98 encoding format and it is readable.

I think that the problem is Lavf58.44.100

@rastaman111 interesting 🤔 thanks for the info, I always thought that the metadata was corrupted in some way whenever I saw similar reports about a file's metadata. If the Music app does show the correct string, maybe there's a way to handle it inside the app as well

I understand that this format refers to a third-party library that can read this FFmpeg encoding

Hello!
I also found this file, it belongs to the Audiobook type and therefore it does not have a commonKey "artist" in the method data, but there is a TPE2 key that is responsible for "artist" by type id3

Magic ;)
