MKA File Support: ERROR: cannot parse file as mka file

When I’m trying to edit a tag for the audio track (.mka) for the video:

Mp3tag 3.31c returns the following error:

ERROR: cannot parse file as mka file. Possible wrong file extension or corrupted file;

P.S. If needed I can share the file so that it can be analyzed whether the problem is the file or the Mp3Tag.

If I try to download the above video from YT, I get a
Vice President JD Vance Delivers Remarks at the Munich Security Conference (128kbit_AAC).m4a
and
Vice President JD Vance Delivers Remarks at the Munich Security Conference (1080p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC).mp4

Both can be tagged with Mp3tag without problems.

How did you get your .mka file?

It's probably not a Matroska file then.

I’ve used yt-dlp.exe by MPC-BE 1.8.6 with the following options:

  • Preferred video format: MP4-AV1
  • Preferred audio format: AAC

In case of MP4-H.264, everything is OK.

I’ve renamed the file to .m4a and now everything is OK.
I don’t know why MPC-BE decided to assign to this file an .mka extension.

The issue can be considered as resolved.
Thanks for the prompt response.

Ah, the old downloaded-from-YouTube-tool issue.
