Hello guys ,

I ve just add a gtx 950 on my HTPC under kodibuntu , all works very well , HEVC works very well too , but when I try to play this file :
http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=126
nothing happens (kodi is trying to load but after a while , nothing happens)
I can play this video on my PC with VLC , but not on kodi
missing kodec ?

thanks for your help

You seem to have overlooked the debug_log (wiki) that might help divine what's going on in Kodi.

Unlikely to be a missing codec, as ffmpeg is up-to-date enough to cover most things, but I suppose you could perhaps be on XBMC "Camelot" or something for all anyone knows at this time

like u said , wrong codec on the file I presume.

I tried this one :
http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=119 (file ts , HEVC , almost the same)
and it works very well

That's again a cut logfile. Turn on debug logging and post your complete Debug Log to a pastebin near you.

works "perfectly" on my computer as mine does not do HEVC hw decoding it stutters, but works fine. Your 950 should smoke that one in a pipe.

[marcorel]

ok fritsch , but like I said : Hong Kong works fine on mine rig

this file isn't working :
http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=126
(LG_4K_OLED_Wonders.ts)

[marcorel]

ok here the debug when I launch the file !

[log removed] - LINK to your log via pastebin or similar service, do not post logs here - dangelus

The failing file is not a .ts, this seems to confuse kodi.

Renaming it to .mp4 will let kodi play it.

[marcorel]

Hi AndyFurniss , thanks for this tips !


yes , that's it !!!!
just renaming the file with mp4 extension and it works very well
thank u very much again

[fritsch]

Kodi chooses a short analyze path for .ts to do faster channel switching :-)

Yeah, that file works, but it's an mp4

[marcorel]

Hi fritsch ,

thanks for explanation

I m so happy , cos picture quality is just amazing !!!!

Great! Changing file extension worked for me as well!
I had the same problem with some .ts files which used to play totally fine on earlier XBMC/Kodi release. Now after a long time I tried to play those .ts files and they did not play anymore on my Kodi 16.1..
I was seeing an error log similar to that "WARNING: could not find codec parameters for..." and searching Google with that log entry brought me to this thread.
