Missing pause buttons on 4k mkv files - mrmichaelbeck - 2019-05-19
Hi,
I've noticed that more than a few of the mkv files that I try to play don't actually include the pause button. They only allow me to stop the video. When I go back in, I can't resume from the point that I stopped. It forces me to start from the beginning of the video. Also, I see that Kodi doesn't have any idea what the run time of the video might be. I have a couple of questions:
1. What the heck is this called? I've been looking around for what seems like months trying to put a name to the problem.
2. What can I do to fix the problem? I presume the issue is actually in the mkv files, not anything the Kodi decoder is doing.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Nope, cannot replicate the problem.
I have a Pause button on 4k mkv files (video files do not control the visibility of buttons). I can pause, stop, resume.
Provide a Debug Log and play a 4k file. The log may reveal something.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. It's not on every video I have. It's probably 40% of them. Here is a screen capture of what I'm talking about.
Trying to get a log. One moment...

Close, but debug mode was not enabled, so not much to see.

Sorry, it's my first time doing this. This should have everything turned on: https://paste.kodi.tv/yisepiwohi

Are you following the instructions? Is there something about Step 2 you are not sure of?

I'm sorry? I enabled the debug logging. The only thing that I didn't do this time was restart Kodi. The log that got uploaded didn't appear to have my previous log in it so I figured that would be ok. But alright. I have stopped Kodi now. I've even restarted the NVidia Shield it's running on. Maybe you could be more specific about what you're looking for?

Yep, that is it.
There are a few errors relating to the actual movie file, but as it is Android, I do not know what their significance is...

I guess the problem is a badly ripped movie, not an issue with Kodi. Hopefully an Android member can interpret the messages.

For those interested, re-encoding the files using ffmpeg seems to do the trick. I used the following command:
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c copy video_fixed.mkv

Thread marked solved.

There actually is a visible condition in the pause button in Estuary.
xml:<visible>Player.PauseEnabled</visible>
So I guess the bad file rendered it unpausable if pause was disabled.
