WTV not playing on Kodi - managedata - 2015-04-14
Hi,
when I try to play WTV-files (recorded with my Windows 7 media center) on my raspberry pi with Kodi the file plays for a very short time and then the video stops.
When I play the same files with Gotham anything is OK.
What is the problem?
Best regards
managedata

A) Remove the log from your post and upload to pastebin.com or xbmclogs.com
B) Don't cut logs, post the entire log

Hi,
A) done
B) done, see

The log just seems to get an end of file:
Code:
20:51:20 T:2906035264 INFO: Process - eof reading from demuxerDo you get this with all wtv files? Can you provide a small (few minutes) sample?

I have no problems with current OE builds with MPEG2 and H264 .wtv files recorded from DVB-S2 sources in Europe. (Audio is a mix of MP2 and AC3) on either the Pi 2 (with MPEG2 licence installed) or a Chromebox.

I recorded a short file (8 minutes). This file is played. (log file http://xbmclogs.com/pvnsvggqu)
I had the same behavior with Frodo. I think in Frodo was a problem with wtv files bigger than 2 GB.

Sorry, I had uploaded the wrong log file from Gotham not from Kodi.
The right one is http://xbmclogs.com/pmyls1qdz
The small file is played, the longer ones not.
RE: WTV not playing on Kodi - popcornmix - 2015-04-16
How long does it take to open (or fail to open) the wtv files?
RE: WTV not playing on Kodi - managedata - 2015-04-16
Long (failing) file: 34 seconds to start.
Short (playing) file: 4 seconds to start.
RE: WTV not playing on Kodi - popcornmix - 2015-04-16
I think the problem is that kodi will timeout a stream that takes more than 30 seconds to open.
ffmpeg takes a long time to generate the indexes of wtv files: O(n^2) with duration.
I made a patch to ffmeg that makes this time O(n).
I don't believe your build has this patch applied.
I'd suggest trying Openelec or OSMC which should have that patch applied.
RE: WTV not playing on Kodi - managedata - 2015-04-16
I cannot boot OSMC RC 2 at the moment (rainbow screen while booting)
I will use Gotham until OSCM is stable. Maybe I will give Openelec a try.
Thank you for your help.
