Create, upload, and share

Audio records files created with Dropbox Capture (.oga) are being created with the wrong mime type, 'video/webm' instead of the 'audio/ogg' mime type.
This is causing issues on some media players because most of the times the file metadata is missing the duration and bitrate information, causing the seek forward or backwards and even the timeline to malfunction.
Hi @felippeomgt, welcome to our Community!
Does this happen every time you record an audio file, or with specific files only? Did you notice when this started happening?
Keep me posted!

Hi Megan, thanks for the quick reply.
Yes it happens every time I record an audio file using Dropbox Capture.
I noticed when I started using Dropbox Capture, a few weeks ago.
Some technical details that might help:
If you record an audio using Dropbox Capture, download this file, and inspect it using ffmpeg codec, this is the Metadata output you'll get:
Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'Audio Recording 2023-10-06 at 9.45.47 AM':
Metadata:
encoder : Chrome
Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A
Stream #0:0(eng): Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, mono, fltp (default)
Hi @felippeomgt, could you clarify the OS you're using?
Also, do you run the latest update on Dropbox Capture?

Hi @Megan, I'm using Windows, but I'm almost certain that MacOS has the same issue, and I'm using Dropbox Capture v108.8.0.
Hey @felippeomgt, thanks for the additional info.
Our team has been made aware of this issue and they're currently working on a fix.
Once we know more, we'll update you on this thread.
