I'm running Kodi 18.3 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. Will this play WMA videos? Is there a list of supported video formats?

If there is a list of supported format and/or why some files of certain formats works and other don't, I'm also interested.

Do you have a link to an example wma file that is free of copyright?

I thought the A in WMA was for "Audio" perhaps the files are named wrong?

WMA = Windows Media Audio file.
WMV = the video equivalent.
A file with the WMA file extension is a Windows Media Audio file. Also developed by Microsoft is the Windows Media Video file format, which uses the WMV extension. ASF is a video and audio container format also developed by Microsoft that often contains WMA or WMV data.
So what type of file are you trying to play in Kodi?

My mistake, I meant WMV.

I believe WMV files can contain a number of different codecs (in the same way that mp4 and mkv files can) so it may depend on the codec used in the WMV files in question.
