The name being a number is something that won't work very well with the current API, since it will be treated as a numeric index, rather than as a name that happens to be a number. If you say tracks[1], is that supposed to be the second track, or the one named "1"? You also didn't answer my second question - are track names typically unique? Do media container formats generally guarantee the presence of unique track names? Regards, MaciejReceived on Wednesday, 3 March 2010 07:10:05 UTC
