Hi,

I want to scan an mp3-file (about 60 MB in size).
My command is:

clamscan
/home/rosika/Schreibtisch/Dokumente/Hörspiele/Sherlock_Holmes/hörspiel.mp3

Yet I get the message: "Data scanned: 0.00 MB"
First I thought that the file was too large, so I used a new command:

clamscan --max-filesize=300M --max-scansize=300M
/home/rosika/Schreibtisch/Dokumente/Hörspiele/Sherlock_Holmes/hörspiel.mp3

But this didn´t work either.
In the meantime I think that´s due to the nature of the respective file.
The file being mp3.
Could this be the case?

I also tried:

dd
if=/home/rosika/Schreibtisch/Dokumente/Hörspiele/Sherlock_Holmes/hörspiel.mp3
| clamscan -

Output:

126592+1 Datensätze ein
126592+1 Datensätze aus
64815503 bytes (65 MB, 62 MiB) copied, 10,9642 s, 5,9 MB/s
stdin: OK

Is there any way of scanning mp3-files with clamscan?

Greetings.
