Supported audio file types about gdriveaudio HOT 2 OPEN

@Czechball
Thanks for the comment. Files with the following conditions are included to the database and can be played.

1. Google drive considers it as the "Audio" type
2. MPlayer supports the audio format

If only the first condition is met, then the file is still included to the database (but does not play).

MPlayer covers most of the audio formats (OPUS is included). Please refer to the following pages for the supported input formats:

• http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html
• http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html#ac

I could not find the complete list of audio mime types Google Drive recognizes. I believe this is close:

• https://mimetype.io/all-types/#audio

That being said, it is weird that your OPUS files are not in the database. On my end, OPUS files are included and played properly.
Here is my experiment steps:

• Downloaded a sample opus file from https://github.com/TeamPyOgg/PyOgg/blob/master/examples/left-demo-1s.opus
• Uploaded the file to my music folder of the google drive. It looks like .opus file is recognized as audio type.

• Updated the database on my laptop and checked the result as below. The opus file is successfully played on my laptop.

# update database
$ gdriveaudio update -UF

# list files in the database
$ gdriveaudio data -k .opus --columns name mimetype
name,mimetype
examples_left-demo-1s.opus,audio/ogg

# play the file
$ gdriveaudio play -k .opus

You can first check, if your opus file is recognized as "Audio" type in the google drive page.
If yes, then the only reason I can think of is that the file is not in the target folder.
If you can share the file with me, I would be happy to explore if the same thing happens on my end too.

Hello again. Thank you for the detailed response, I haven't found the time to properly test this yet. As far as I'm aware, there are literally no .opus files indexed from my library, while there are many of them in there...
