Wavpack Audio not playing
#1
I'm having difficulty getting a video with wavpack audio to play in Kodi. Video starts and plays fine, the stream is recognized as wavpack, 5.1 JPN etc, but no audio. I'm running Jarvis 16.1 on a Windows 10 box. I tried altering some of the audio settings like disabling Dolby Pro Logic capabilities etc but I'm really just pushing buttons blindly. I can get the audio to play in VLC no problem. Any suggestions or ideas would be welcome. Thanks!

To elaborate: I tried extracting the stream and I get this message from mkvextract:
Error: Track 1 with the CodecID 'A_WAVPACK4' is missing the "codec private" element and cannot be extracted.

Since VLC can play this, there's clearly *some* way to get this to play properly, is this possible at all in Kodi?

Code:
08:33:23 T:6748   ERROR: ffmpeg[1A5C]: [matroska,webm] Error parsing a wavpack block.

I see the error at that point.

ironic_monkey, any ideas?

Thanks. Yes, there's definitely something wrong with the track (see the mkvextract error above) but the part that's confusing me is that VLC doesn't seem to hit this error and the audio plays just fine. Maybe that's just a Kodi vs VLC difference but then again maybe it's something for an enhancement.

from the looks of it, it seems that the ffmpeg demuxer is less resilient to broken muxed files. vlc has its own mkv demuxer et al, i guess they are less stringent about standards.

if you cut off the first few MBs of that file, will the cut file play in vlc? if so, please make the sample available for analysis.

I extracted the video from the file and an audio track from a DVD version of the same thing, so I'm just using that. thanks for the assistance!
