in thread ID3v2 TAG unpack uninitialized value

Thanks for the tip no_slogan, I actually print tried all of them and I got the same result for (I An unsigned integer and for V A long integer in VAX order). Output can be viewed under:

This is the content of lines_0 with I: 990183424 This is the content of lines_1 with I: 826626132 This is the content of lines_2 with I: 167772160 This is the content of lines_3 with I: 1090519040 This is the content of lines_0 with V: 990183424 This is the content of lines_1 with V: 826626132 This is the content of lines_2 with V: 167772160 This is the content of lines_3 with V: 1090519040

When I tried to print the (N A long integer in network order) option I got this result:

This is the content of lines_0: 1339 This is the content of lines_1: 1414546737 This is the content of lines_2: 10 This is the content of lines_3: 65

The reason that I was using the (I An unsigned integer) characters is that on the official website description says:

http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-structure
%x is used to indicate a bit with unknown content. ID3v2 size 4 * %0xxxxxxx
The ID3v2 tag size is stored as a 32 bit synchsafe integer (section 6. +2), making a total of 28 effective bits (representing up to 256MB).
