For a few weeks now, Kodi does not play any MPEG transport stream media (i.e. RecordedTV.ts). I can find no forum reference to this problem so I suspect that the issue is related to my own installation.
When I attempt to play such media by selecting a media file or trying to play live TV, nothing happens. The GUI is not blocked and I can go on to select any action from the GUI. No log entry is recorded in the Kodi log or in the system journal.
Some of the ts recordings that I cannot play are many years old and played perfectly until this problem started.
These same recordings and Live TV (using the same backend tvheadend) work perfectly on my Fedora desktop.
Here are the details of my Kodi installation (team-xbmc stable):
Starting Kodi (18.1 Git:20190217-8cfdc89). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit
Using Release Kodi x64 build
Kodi compiled 2019-02-17 by GCC 7.3.0 for Linux x86 64-bit version 4.15.18 (266002)
Running on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, kernel: Linux x86 64-bit version 4.15.0-46-generic
FFmpeg version/source: 4.0.3-Kodi
Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this please?
