I'm seeing multiple lines that read: ERROR: Got MSGQ_ABORT or MSGO_IS_ERROR return true in my log but am unsure why. They seem to be triggered when a video exits. This debug log is very short, I just loaded kodi, navigated to a video and played it (fast forwarded till about 2 min left and let it end). It doesn't matter which video file I use/seems to happen with any.

Even though the file in the debug log is getting played over an NFS share, I get the same error if I play the same file from the local file system.

Is there any clue in the debug log as to cause?

The error message comes from here:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/0978b1...o.cpp#L259

This can be ignored at the end of a video. An error message which is kind of confusing

Video is playing -> all is fine.... you stop that video -> audio asks for some packets which it doesn't get anymore (the error) but there's still something in the buffer and that need to be flushed.

In short: Ignore it Wink

Thanks very much the link and the explanation.

I confirmed seeing this on several different boxes now (x86_64 and ARM). Harmless error to be ignored or not, should it get reported on the github page (assuming it would be a low priority)?

If you are concerning PR a change to make it debug

@fritsch - sorry, I don't understand :/ Are you saying you guys (developers) are considering a PR to make this a debug option? Please let me know if any action on my part is needed, limited as it may be.

**fritsch** · 2019-01-26, 22:27

No - we don't consider it. It's good as is.

As said...harmless and can be ignored at the end of a video or if you stop that video manually. I wouldn't bother about a single line in the log if a video ends Wink

OK, thanks again, guys.

Can this be triggered by something else? I ask because I get the error when a video stops that doesn't contain an audio track at all. Try this video for example. Debug log playing it and allowing it to just stop on its own.

Yes, it can. What is your issue with that message? What does not work?

@fritsch - There does not seem to be any functional consequence of the error message. If it's expected that any video ending should trigger the message/log entry, that's fine with me. I just wanted to explore it a bit and share the results.
