Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - TheLastMillennial - 2024-03-23 Hello, I'm making a digital picture frame that will just perpetually display videos in a loop. Info + Log: https://paste.kodi.tv/yawaxivena.kodi Raspberry Pi model: 3A+ Kodi (18.9 (18.9.0) Git:newclock5_18.9-Leia). Platform: Linux ARM 32-bit Using Release Kodi x32 build (version for Raspberry Pi) Kodi compiled 2021-07-06 by GCC 8.3.0 for Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.19.127 (267135) Running on LibreELEC (official): 9.2.8, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.19.127 FFmpeg version/source: 4.0.4-Kodi Host CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l), 4 cores available Problem: When Kodi boots, I select 'Pictures' then select the external flash drive (called New_Volume) that my [email protected] videos are stored on. I open the left side menu and select 'Recursive Slideshow'. Kodi will display the loading circle but will never start playing the video. I cannot exit the loading screen no matter what buttons I press. Only powercycling the pi lets me get control back. (Apologies I do not know how to resize images on this site). ![]() Video metadata: ![]() What I've noticed and tried:
RE: Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - TheLastMillennial - 2024-03-24 I realized the link to the log is broken. You can't click on it, you need to copy and paste: https://paste.kodi.tv/yawaxivena.kodi I do not see an edit button or I would fix the original post. RE: Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - CrystalP - 2024-03-24 Looks like a bug that's also present in v19 and was fixed in v20. There is no chance of an official backport of the fix to v18 or v19. RE: Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - TheLastMillennial - 2024-03-25 Thank you very much for your reply! I can make my own fork and may be able to patch it myself. I see the function OnSlideShowRecursive(m_vecItems->GetPath()); in GUIWindowPictures.cpp is this a good starting place to diagnose the bug? (I'm currently looking at the latest code, not v18) RE: Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - CrystalP - 2024-03-26 yes, good place to start. RE: Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - TheLastMillennial - 2024-04-03 I did get a Kodi Dev environment set up but I quickly realized I was doing this the hard way. I don't need any of Kodi's Metadata scraping tools so I don't think it's the right tool for my application. Instead I've switched to using Raspian Lite + VLC. VLC can recursively and randomly play all videos in a directory with just a single line 'vlc --loop --random /PathTo/Videos'. As a bonus I've made this command run on startup so no manual input is required! I still really appreciate your help! It's not often that a developer of a large project helps out with an obscure issue. RE: Recursive Slideshow Always Stuck Loading First Video - CrystalP - 2024-04-04 yeah KISS. you're welcome! |
