Solved green video on raspberry pi 2
#1
Hello friends,

I have some trouble viewing some videos on my raspbery pi 2 with kodi 15.2 (the one in the official repo).
The video is completely green. However, the audio is playing fine and I can see the subtitles (basically all the metadata). If I disable the hardware decoding, I can see the video but with a ridiculous framerate.
The video is displaying fine on my computer with vlc (ubuntu 1604). So it makes me think this is something related to the codec or the way the file is encoded (but I don't understand anything about it).

I have set the gpu_mem at 350 in my /boot/config.txt

Here is the log from ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log with the debug logging enabled in the GUI.

I hope I haven't forgotten something.

Thanks for your help.

You forgot to include a complete log, not a snippet.

Looking at your log file and the video name .. [Asenshi] Kiznaiver - 01 [68BB35BA].mkv

and doing a search for that video .. https://animetosho.org/file/asenshi-kizn...mkv.332833

reveals it is 10-Bit encoded which the Raspberry Pi does not support (hence, the green screen ~ no video)

Raspberry Pi only supports 8-Bit

I included only the part from when I start the video to when I ended it. I thought it would be enough.

Thanks, that sound about right Sad . Since I haven't seen any error in my log file, I had no idea what was the problem.

I recently ran into this problem, I was able to just re-encode all my High 10's into High 4's and that fixed my issue.
