v18 LibreELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 18.0)
(2018-04-24, 11:53)louis_nichols Wrote: Hi!

I am using build #420 and in general it works fine. Netflix, Amazon, Youtube - all fine.

However, I have another weird thing that I just noticed: whenever I try to play any audio or video file that I have stored I get an error window with tile "Failed to play game" and text "This game isn't compatible with any available emulators".

It's like the file association is wrong and it tries to open the files with the wrong app.

I tried this with several mp4, mp3, avi files, some of which I had played in the past on the same libreelec installation (upgraded over time) so I know they should work. Just as an experiment, I tried to "open" (wasn't really expecting that they would open) .7z and .bin files and then it asks me which emulator to use.

Opening jpeg's doesn't have the same issue - they open fine.

I am not excluding the possibility that I did something wrong in the settings at some point. But I checked all over the settings and addons for a cause for this and couldn't find any (at least, not one obvious to me). And I don't know where to look anymore.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you!


Ignore that. I updated to #422 and it's back. I got tipped off by the fact that Youtube wasn't working after all. Trying to stream from it was showing the same error. But Netflix was working - I had just watched an episode before I posted.

So, I wish you all a nice day. Smile
 Me again.

There is a bug after all, I think. Upgrading was not a fix, it's just the reboot that acted as a workaround.

The thing is, I have a folder which resides in the same directory as a 7z archive with the same name. And I sometimes click on the 7z instead of on the folder. And that seems to trigger a state of the system which leads to the error.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Try to "open" a 7z file -> it should ask you to choose an emulator.   
    2. Cancel that selection
    3. Try to open an mp4 or mp3 file -> It will show the error I described above
    4. Reboot.
    5. Try to open an mp4 or mp3 file -> It works

In case it matters, the specific file I was trying to open is an archive to be used for calibration from this webpage: http://w6rz.net/. Specifically, this is the file: http://w6rz.net/avshd709/MP4-2c.7z

All this is on an RPi 3.

Not sure what to do with all this...
