Hi guys,
The download link from web site (http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/...bi-v7a.apk) and beta version on the play store both exhibit this issue of not playing any raw IFO files. In previous version of Kodi 16.X, I didn't have this problem, but whenever I try to do any ISO playback I get this in the debug error log:


05:56:57 T:18446744071752644912 ERROR: Unable to load /data/app/org.xbmc.kodi-1/lib/arm/libdvdnav-arm.so, reason: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "DVDCloseFile" referenced by "/data/app/org.xbmc.kodi-1/lib/arm/libdvdnav-arm.so"...

It appears the shared library built is missing the DVDCloseFile function which the main executable expects? I also tried the recently nightly build kodi-20160826-a56be14-master-armeabi-v7a.apk with the same result.

Thanks,

Yep, DVD playback on Android seems to be broken at the moment.

My Kodi 17.0 Krypton correctly reads the ifo files DVDs under Windows, but not Android. Is there a parameter that I would have failed? dns or are we waiting for a fix?
thank you in advance
cordially

I don't believe there is anything user-side that can be done at the moment.

Thanks you

Is there a bug already created? or way to track when this bug is fixed? thanks

This bug is still happening on Kodi 17 Krypton Beta 3.

It's a complete show stopper for the android build.

Is this being looked into? Has a bug been raised in the bug tracker for this? I searched and couldn't find one.

Looking at the log, problem seems to be here:

22:27:59 T:18446744072549291296 DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(libdvdnav-arm.so)

Already fixed

Apologies if this is not directly related, but I too have noticed that DVD playback in Kodi 17 on Android devices has not worked. As of Beta 4 (and Beta 5, which I'm on), it "works," but is very jerky on my FireTV 2. It's like it's skipping frames, or something, but when I turn on the debugger, I'm constantly getting around 60 fps.

Other files work fine: BDMV, MKV, etc. But DVD rips--I use the Mac .dvdmedia extension, but they are basically just VIDEO_TS rips--do not work.

I have the same version of Kodi installed on a MBA (2013) and the latest iteration of a Mac Mini, and neither have a problem playing back the .dvdmedia files.

Here's a pastebin of my log file when I tried to play The Abyss:

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Is fixed in nightlies
