Finally caught the problem in a log.
Played a file, errored on next one, then I manually pressed down and started the next episode (which failed to play auto) which plays fine.
kodi.log

So we have:

Code:

07:49:24 9718.356445 T:1576006720   ERROR: Open - Error, could not open file nfs://192.168.10.224/export/Videos/Shows/Marvel's Daredevil/Season 01/S01E04 - In The Blood.mp4

Not much I can do with this. Seems to be a vfs/network issue rather that a video player issue.
Is this wired or wireless?
What is the nfs server?
Do you see any errors in dmesg log after the failure?

So we have:

Code:

07:49:24 9718.356445 T:1576006720   ERROR: Open - Error, could not open file nfs://192.168.10.224/export/Videos/Shows/Marvel's Daredevil/Season 01/S01E04 - In The Blood.mp4

Not much I can do with this. Seems to be a vfs/network issue rather that a video player issue.

What is the nfs server?
Do you see any errors in dmesg log after the failure?

Server is Ubuntu 14.0.4.2 LTS, nfs-kernel-server
Pi connects over wireless
Nothing related to this comes up in dmesg on the pi or on my server. I also checked /var/log/* on the server. No errors whatsoever.

This issue just started on #419 (pretty sure its #419, maybe one before or after, I'll have to test more).
Also, as soon as it "fails" and I click ok on the popup, I can immediately play the file that "failed" by selecting it manually. The log doesn't show me doing it right away this time because I let it sit for awhile with the popup on. I was afk waiting for the failed to play, but it does work immediately after closing the popup, which I think it wouldn't if it was a network or server issue. It would also fail.

Is it possible the debug error is misleading as in it opens but cant read it in (maybe into the demuxer) due to a lock or something uninitialized or another problem?

Code:

07:49:24 9718.357422 T:1576006720   ERROR: OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer

Also, curious about these, which I see alot of in my logs:

Code:

06:55:10 6463.964844 T:1968013312 WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(player)::Put MSGQ_NOT_INITIALIZED

Code:

07:48:31 9665.045898 T:1408234560   ERROR: OMXPlayerVideo: Got MSGQ_IS_ERROR(-1) Aborting

and

Code:

05:08:40  74.252174 T:1391457344 WARNING: CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer

Code:

05:09:22 116.589050 T:1506800704 WARNING: Previous line repeats 9 times

Edit: Also why would it work if I turn debugging on AND/OR component specific verbose logs, and then not work when I turn the extra logging off?
If it helps, i'm in #openelec and #kodi

How do you invert the eyes (go right eye first, or "right left") for 3D MVC films? I saw the issue was tackled about a month ago (part 1 of this thread, page 77, started by HDMKV and fixed by PopcornMix), but looking through the changelog 'n discussion didn't seem to reveal the actual method used. Do I add something to the filename between "3D" and "MVC"? Do I add MKV Stereo flags? I tried 3D.RL.SBS, 3DRL.SBS, 3D.INVERT.SBS, but nothing seemed to change the orientation.

Also, thank you guys so much for doing this. I picked up a Pi for other reasons and couldn't imagine that it would become my house's primary video player.

Can you try connecting an ethernet cable? That would rule out wifi dropouts.

This issue just started on #419 (pretty sure its #419, maybe one before or after, I'll have to test more).

Make sure you identify the first version that fails. Once we're sure what changed in that version, we can examine each commit and should be able to identify what caused the problem. Need to sure of the exact version though.

Code:

07:49:24 9718.357422 T:1576006720   ERROR: OpenDemuxStream - Error creating demuxer

A direct result of being unable to open the file.

All normal.

Bring up OSD and in video page enable "Invert Stereoscopic 3D mode (flip eyes)"

No way to fix it at the file level? =(

Not that I'm aware of. You only have to set it once (it gets stored in database). I believe there are only a few Blu-Rays that are authored this way.

Thanks. I'll admit, it's only 3 of the 50 films in my home library. On a side note, buying UK 3D Blu-Rays because Disney doesn't think the US market is worth it, sucks. =(

Is this not something that can be set by the video stereo mode in the mkv header? (1 = right, 11 = left, i think), if not is this something that could be added?

[lolli_lutscher]

It would be cool, if Kodi/OpenElec handles it by filename. E.g.:
Filename.3DRL.mkv

And btw, would a sample really matter since no matter what DVD (disc, img, iso) source I use, nothing is playable?
Even the DVD menu isn't working properly. (Even on clean install).

Might be worth trying again with next build which should include PR6988 which fixes a regression with DVD menus.

Thanks, I will test and let you know!

Just a quick report before I go to bed.

With build #0420 & #0421 DVD menus works better again but some of my movies made Kodi to freeze before the menu shows up. Hopefully I will come home earlier from work tomorrow so I can provide some logs for you.

However the playback isn't as smooth as with <#0405 builds.
Only positive thing is that even if the playback is really choppy from time to time it doesn't get reported as dropped or skipped frames in the playback info like with builds between #0406 - #0419 did.

[Gizmo81]

Wow, fast fix, I will try 0422 today!
One additional thing I found out yesterday which I can reproduce but nothing in logfile.
If I pause a video around 30 seconds I can't restart it. Its like frozen, only help is reboot.
some seconds works fine.

By the way, there is the option to wait with starting of video if refreshrate is changed.
Is it possible to have this also for audio? or a general pause before video starts?
And last thing, is there a plan to add "Deep Color" support?

[MortUK74]

This has probably all ready been answered somewhere.....

How do I enable DTS-HD in the test builds.? I'm still getting standard DTS..

To get best DTS-HD experience with Kodi you have to disable passthrough for DTS and set speaker to 7.1.
For Dolby TrueHD you have to do nothing, it will automatically switch to MPCM.
HD Audio doesn't work as Bitstream.
