Hi,
I'm on archlinux up to date and i have problems with some mkv files that used to play OK before on previous releases of kodi/xbmc.
I can play the files ok with audio on vlc but on kodi i have no sound on two different comps both under arch.
Here is a link to the debug log: here
I searched through various forums but couldn't get anything really related.
I can post a short sample of movie that doesn't play audio if need be.
Thank you for your time

do you really think anyone wants to look at over 6000 lines of a logfile Wink

?

enable debug logging, disable all epg and PVR things, reboot, reproduce your issue as fast as you can, grab the log, provide the link.

If it's only with some special files, the logfile should only be logged for a few minutes (1-3 minutes after bootup).

Always keep logs as short as possible

fxeon · 2015-08-08, 21:25

True I will edit it, sorry

**DaVu** · 2015-08-09, 08:01

Please don't edit a logfile...just do those things I explained and the log should then be short enough Wink

fxeon · 2015-08-09, 08:06

There you go:
-Long version (cleaned from pvr plugins Wink

)

-short one

I forgot to add that all those videos i can't read were transcoded using handbrake, they used to read fine before on kodi and they still do on vlc.
Huh

and btw the log is spewing error and it's still 6k lines

As one can never trust arch linux (mixture of untested latest and greatest combined with the latest and greatest gcc compiler (which fucked up ffmpeg more than once)). Please try OpenELEC beta3 from an usb stick and see if the problem with this file persists. If it is the case - provide us a sample.

Btw. this seems certainly wrong. Are you sure - this should be only 1 channel Audio?

Can you post the output of ffprobe with that sample?

Same problem with openelec : Openelec log

Here's a link to a sample:

1 min sample

Thanx for your time.

Oh wait !
I just realised that after cutting it, it reads fine in openelec, seems that it's more a problem with handbrake rather than kodi, wrong mkv encapsulation? i'll keep investigating...
it is still weird that vlc can read it and not kodi, i'll prepare a 30 secs sample with handbrake to test it.

fxeon · 2015-08-09, 09:49

here's a 30 sec sample freshly made with handbrake, as i suspected it reads fine in vlc but no sound in openelec...
seems like handbrake has problem with mp3 encapsulation in mkv...

30 sec hanbrake sample

**fritsch** · 2015-08-09, 10:01

I rather think it's this "one channel" mono mp3? Any reason you do it mono?

fxeon · (This post was last modified: 2015-08-09, 10:08 by fxeon.)

Source was mono I guess (I honestly can't remember as i did it several years ago)...but i have same problem with other files which have 2 channel stereo mp3 track (I can provide an other stereo sample)

**fritsch** · 2015-08-09, 10:13

Mind filing the bug with handbrake? Kodi should not have to carry workarounds for broken encoder software.

fxeon · (This post was last modified: 2015-08-09, 10:19 by fxeon.)

indeed ! Thanks for your help and keep up the great work.
I was suspecting kodi to be responsible for that because it used to work pre-Isengaard but I guess it's just that it became more rule adherent.
