RP 10/Win, RMFF Metadata Section - little endian?

Hi guys,

I've been coding up support in amaroK for reading realmedia
file format, and 
I've come across what may be an inconsistency in the byte
ordering in the 
Metadata Section.  

In all other sections, the byte ordering is big-endian. 
However, the "Year" 
track subproperty is stored as little-endian in the files I
created using 
RealPlayer 10 for Windows.  Is it always the case, or is
this a bug in 
RP10/Win?

thanks in advance,

Paul

Paul,

I'm guessing this is probably a bug. But could you
either: a) attach a sample file with this problem;
or b) tell me exactly how you created this file (player
version, what steps, etc.) so I can create one?

I'll confirm the problem. Depending on how it turns
out, we may have to fix the problem and rev some
sort of version number, or we may just document that
the year field is an exception to the big-endian rule.

Eric
