Not sure if this is RPi or Kodi 18 specific, but that's what I've got :-}
Pi3b running Kodi latest Milhouse build #906.

Hit 'o' on keyboard, debug info shows.
Why the 'unknown' against both video and audio decoders?

Screenshot illustrates.

Thanks for any clues...

Paste the mediainfo for that file.

Paste the mediainfo for that file.

This is on Windows - is there a CLI mediainfo on LE?

This is the relevant bit of movie.nfo.

Code:

<fileinfo>
        <streamdetails>
            <audio>
                <bitrate>126</bitrate>
                <channels>2</channels>
                <codec>AAC</codec>
            </audio>
            <video>

I use Ember on Windows to scrape the metadata.

You can view the information as text, then copy & paste.

Edit: Also, test with stock Estuary.

Will try Estuary tomorrow and report back.
Thanks for helping :-}

Screenshot with Estuary [it's V1, I don't have a profile which uses V2, although I can set one up if need be].

From this, it would seem the 'pixel ratio' is the unknown in the video info.
No idea about the audio.

@Milhouse I asked out of idle curiosity, I wouldn't want you to spend any time on this :-}
Edit:
Whoops, wrong screenshot. This is the correct one.

On my Rpi-3b running Millhouse build #906, i also get confusing info when comparing debug info for various Kodi settings.

With a bog standard mkv rip of one of my BDs, The Call, i get the following:

- playback with MMAL hardware acceleration shows Video Decoder: mmal-h264, unknown and Audio Decoder: unknown, 8bit, 48,000 Hz and Audio Channels as RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW.
- playback with OXMPlayer hardware acceleration shows Video Decoder: mmal-h264, unknown and Audio Decoder: PT_DTS, 32bits, 48,000 Hz and Audio Channels as FL, FR, FC, LFE, BL, BR.
- playback without hardware acceleration shows Video Decoder: ff-h264-mml, yuv420p and Audio Decoder: unknown, 8bit, 48,000 Hz and Audio Channels as RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW.

In the above examples, i'm playing a rip of my BD made using makemkv so is not reencoded in any way. It's 1080p, with DTS-HD audio (not sure if i kept any other audio tracks).
Will add mediainfo details to this post later.

Guess the yuv420p is related to color space with 4:2:0 sub-sampling, not related to 1080p resolution but playback without h/w acceleration is stuttery.

Obviously the RPi hardware can decode DVD and BD but shouldn't there be info within the debug log to identify color space/subsample data, and similar for audio?
