Question: Why are m4a files with video track ignored

$

As of version 7.7.X all m4a files that have a video track are ignored during scanning of the audio files. In version 7.6.1 and lower, that was not a problem. So I was wondering why this choice (could) have been made. I am not sure if any LMS developers read this forum. But it would be nice to have some insight in this.

Why you would ask? Well I got a bounch of m4a podcasts and they all have a video track with it. In this video track they show the album cover of the song/album that is played. This is pretty cool. In fact, the movie is a list of images that stand still for a couple of minutes. And a next image is shown.

For now I have un comment the line in Slim/Formats/Movie.pm:
Code:

# skip files with video tracks
for my $track ( @{ $info->{tracks} } ) {
  #return if exists $track->{width};
}

For me I would like to have this default in the new version. So that all my files will be found and scanned. Or that it can be a setting.
Should I file a feature request for this? I can change it for me after every update....

Kind regards
