Hi all,
Long-time XBMC/Kodi user (since xbmc on xbox), first time I haven't been able to solve a problem via search! I have a few videos that when I play them, they play super fast for a second or two (sometimes less), then stop. The audio starts and continues, and the interface is responsive, but the video is stuck at the same frame. This is reproducible and only happens with a few videos. I'm able to stop playback and return to the menu (either/both), and restarting the video causes the exact same outcome (stopping at the exact same frame). The overlay indicates 0 dropped frames.
I've had these same videos for years, and they played fine before. I was on libreelec 8.2 most recently (Kodi 17), and reverting to 8.2 fixes this issue. All 9.x builds (Kodi 18) cause the same problem. I thought it was my ancient NVidia GPU, but neither software rendering nor temporarily putting in a AMD Radeon 550 solves the issue.
I appreciate any help!
Debug Log: https://paste.kodi.tv/minocobido.kodi
LibreELEC 9.2.1, Kodi (18.6 Git:18.6-Leia), Linux kernel 5.1.16
x86_64, Celeron G3900
NVidia GeForce GT 520, OpenGL 4.4.0, NVIDIA 340.107
Stats of a video that causes this:
Video: 4 min 3 sec, h264 mp4, 24.000 fps, 1920x1088
Audio: aac, 32 bit, 44.1 hz
Video is hosted on a Synology DS415+ NAS connected via 1-GbE through an unmanaged Trendnet switch, connected via SMB (SMB2 or SMB3 I believe)
I have tried other videos that are also h264 / 24fps / 1080p / aac / 32bit / 44.1hz that work perfectly. I can't find a consistent way to predict which videos will do this.
Thanks very much for any help! (And thank you for the fantastic free software I've been enjoying the last 15 years or so!)
