Kodi Community Forum

Hi,

I posted this already on the LibreELEC forum, but since this may be related to Kodi I will post it here as well:

I'm running LibreELEC Version 7.0.2 on a RPI3. Kodi 16.1 Git:c327c53.

Up until now I had no problems playing all sorts of videos but now I have a number of .mp4 videos that do not play (the sound is OK however). The screen displays part of the image (with washed out colours) with the rest noise. These files can all be played using VLC or SMPlayer on Fedora.
Mpeg license key is installed.

Thanks for your help.

Apparently this has something to do with the resolution of these files (780x1280).
I converted this file to 1920x1080 and that plays without a problem...
As I have only a small number of these files I will convert them all...

And Video is recorded in 30 fps i can't see where you are from so but in Denmark we use 25 or 50 but its a long shot i have played video in kodi running 8 fps so properly not that unless you converted the video after you no no it from a no no site and Audio and Video is not synced then you get what you described

Just a heads i would stop talking now because no i am mendling again i Would Read the piracy rules m8 but since i just saw 2 post your problem audio and video is not in sync so one gets left behind trying to catch up it will produce that error I can't help you much more because it its as i said a no no file you fl from a no no site i would get banned for telling and ill stop talking my self you have a sync problem now go read the rules

If these are legal no no's ignore my comment about you dl them from a well you get my point, and just a heads up although most browser can dl from videosites like Youtube its not legal to do so same as well need no further explanation you have my an-swear and since Ronie is Searching the forums he will right here so read the rules and ill stop telling you this Ronie will prop be here i a sec ask him he knows better then me so later m8

Dude, I have read the rules.
I have no banned addons and I got these files from a friend's facebook account. He recorded those videos with his smartphone, so nothing illegal about that...

I don't know where you get that audio and video is not in sync because the are. As I've stated earlier, the resolution is the problem. This has been confirmed on the LibreELEC forum.

MP4 is just a container file format, make sure that MP4 is encoded with the following codec supported by Kodi: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.263, MPEG-4 SP and ASP, MPEG-4 AVC (H.264), H.265 (as from Kodi 14) HuffYUV, Indeo, MJPEG, RealVideo, RMVB, Sorenson, WMV, Cinepak.
